Organization and Activity
The Khalistan Zindabad Force is headed by Ranjit Singh Neeta, a native of Jammu & Kashmir. He was listed among India's 20 most wanted persons in 2008.
The strength and striking capabilities of the Khalistan Zindabad Force are currently unknown, but it is reported that attempts have been made for the Khalistan Zindabad Force and other militant groups from Kashmir to co-ordinate their efforts. In December 2005 the European Union classified the Khalistan Zindabad Force as a terrorist organization, freezing its monetary assets throughout its 25 member countries. The Khalistan Zindabad Force was reported to still be active in 2008.
Claims and denials of responsibility have been reported in the name of the Khalistan Zindabad Force for a May 2009 attack at the Gurdwara Nanaksar in Vienna, Austria, that left Rama Nand, a leader of the Dera Sach Khand dead, 17 injured, and sparked riots across northern India.

“Politics, as a practise, whatever its professions, has always been the systematic organization of hatreds.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“Every writer is necessarily a critic—that is, each sentence is a skeleton accompanied by enormous activity of rejection; and each selection is governed by general principles concerning truth, force, beauty, and so on.... The critic that is in every fabulist is like the iceberg—nine-tenths of him is under water.”
—Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)
