#2 Babbar Khalsa is a Sikh outfit. In this case he wanted to assasinate leaders who spoke out against cast discrimination, or who were pro-Indian, with the aim of reigniting conflict in the state and brining more recruits to the Khalistan cause.

#3 I've already mentioned it times ago, but I'm always awed by Mr. Moloney's knowledge of the pakistani and indian political landscape, even more because it is so byzantine; at first I thought he was an expat, but that's all acquired knowledge. Really impressive. Kudos for that particular RB expert!
