The quiet, rainy streets of the suburbs of Wolverhampton. It is an unlikely place to live in fear of assassination. But Kuhuwan Singmatada was sitting here at home watching an Indian television channel when this came on. A news report naming enemies of the state, and he was one of them.

We know that we've become the government's targets, so that does not mean that we are safe and can get on with our day-to-day as normal. Whenever we go outside or travel, we're very careful, and since then, haven't left the country because the Indian government has given us such a big threat.

The list came from India's National Investigation Agency. It's counter terror Department. Khuant is speaking for the first time on television. He's an activist who supports a Sikh homeland separate from India called Kalestan. As a result of the list, he constantly checks the CCTV that covers his house. When he drives to work, he changes his vehicle and his route. Other activists have been targeted. Some have been killed, and Kuhuant fears that he is next.

Since the hit list was released, I've been feeling insecure that something may happen in the future. If I'm assassinated, then it's the British government's total responsibility.

It feels safe here in suburbia, or at least it should, but it doesn't for Kuhuant. That's because people who believe the same things as he does in different countries around the world have ended up dead. For Sikh activists, it looks like a roundup by the Indian government. India has strongly denied those claims, and the Indian High Commission said it had received our request for comment but wouldn't be able to respond before broadcast because of the number of government departments involved. India characterizes Sikh activism as extremism and terrorism. It is an extremely contentious issue, and it's that's even on display in this place of worship in Birmingham. When we're talking about martyrs here, on that wall are the people who assassinated India. Ghandi, who's elected Prime Minister of India. The Indian government was there without glorifying terrorism.

One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

So these guys stood up when the Indian government was going around from village to village. A Home Office spokesperson told Sky News that British Seeks contribute immensely to the strength of UK society, that it continually assess potential threats in the UK, and that they take the protection of individuals rights, freedoms, and safety in the UK very seriously. Those words don't feel like much protection here in the Midlands. So in the meantime, they've hired extra security themselves.
