2.Gujarat
3. Punjab
4. Assom​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The Insurgency in Punjab that started in the early 1980s, was an armed campaign by the Sikh nationalist Khalistan movement.[15] In the 1980s, the movement had deteriorated into a secessionist movement after the perceived indifference of the Indian state in regards to mutual negotiations.[16] The Green Revolution brought several social and economic changes which, along with factionalism of the politics, in the Punjab state increased tension between rural Sikhs in Punjab with the union Government of India.[15] Pakistani strategists then began supporting the militant dimension of the Khalistan movement.[15]
