Death
Soon after Chauhan returned to India, he started a political party named the Khalsa Raj Party, apparently with the aim of propagating the cause of Khalistan through peaceful means. In a 2004 interview he claimed that Khalistan will be formed in 2007. When asked, "Has the recognition by the Unrepresented Nations and Peoples Organisation at the Hague given a boost to the movement?", he said, "Yes. Apart from that we already have three-four MPs in the British Parliament. Kashmir has four-five MPs. Our movement is coordinating with the Kashmiris."
He died on April 4, 2007, aged 78 at his native village Tanda in Hoshiarpur District of Punjab, where he ran a charity hospital.

Famous quotes containing the word death:
“Life is grown sweeter and lonelier,
And death is no evil.”
—Robinson Jeffers (1887–1962)
“There is a rhythm to the ending of a marriage just like the rhythm of a courtship—only backward. You try to start again but get into blaming over and over. Finally you are both worn out, exhausted, hopeless. Then lawyers are called in to pick clean the corpses. The death has occurred much earlier.”
—Erica Jong (b. 1942)
“Our love is old, our lives are old,
And death shall come amain:
Should it come today, what man may say
We shall not live again?”
—Langdon Smith (1858–1908)
