Short Summary: Expulsions of Indian diplomats from Canada renewed concern about incursions from foreign governments into Canada. The Agenda gathers a panel to discuss this break in Indo-Canadian relations.
Criminals to India - but to Canadians they did not break any Canadian law (secessionist movements are legal and legit).

One cannot take Indian law and apply it in Canadian soil.

Why do you expect India to care about Canadian law when Canada obviously cares little (over decades) about Indian law?

Its called quid quo pro.

And the burden of proof still lies with the Canadians.

Proof they are yet to show. If at all they have any.

The rest of the western brow beating matters little to us Bilal.

There is a threshold size and heft we have achieved now. We will not be messed with and our grievances will be given due import.

Or matters will be dealt with. And they can keep shrieking.

See if we care. Or have a course correction.

Asking for trouble is one thing - but would it give India the right to carry out targeted assassinations of Canadian citizens on Canadian soil?

I think Indian MEA and RAW are getting a bit bigger than their britches.

What if Canada did the same in India (if they really cared?). India couldn't do much of anything really, cards are stacked against them.

Turning over secessionists depends on power of the country involved and how friendly the relationship is.

Indians should think about this in an impartial, sober manner and not on jingoist terms. India cannot risk the downgrade of relationships with the entire "West", they all act and sound in unison, like bands of foxes and coyotes. As soon as proclamations from Trudeau were issued about found 'evidence', the US state dept. and half a dozen NATO countries all issued supportive official statements.

At stake are futures of millions of Indian foreign students and recent immigrants in Canada (deportation) and trade sanctions/embargoes if things really take a bad turn. All Indian arms programs will be affected. C-17s and Apaches will be sitting idle - among other things.

Bangladesh (Hasina) handed over Indian ULFA secessionist Anup Chetia at India's request, thereby helping India massively in the stability of the NE area. It was an "offer Hasina could not refuse" - given where the 'offer' came from.

Canada will not do this - they do not care about India's request (whether legit or not), they have their own legal precedents and principles. That is legally the crux of the matter.

India is not in the first world league, plain and simple. It depends on remittances from the West (and the Gulf, also stooges of the West) to run its economy. If instructed by the West - Gulfies will not waste a New York Minute before deporting hundreds of thousands of Indian workers - backfills from other countries will be very easy to find.

The sooner Indian politicians realize this and learn to control their bluster, the better (and smoother) their future will be.

The fact that one country hosts secessionists of another country is asking for trouble. Canada is indirectly interfering with Bharat's sovereignty.

If those Sikhs came as refugees and agreed to cease their political activities, that's different. But by hosting people who call for the breakup of another country is asking for trouble.

I'm not arguing wheather Sikhs are right or wrong to ask for an independent Khalistan. What i'm arguing this is an issue for them to resolve.

Canada banned Hamas as a terrorist organization and so is Hezbollah deemed as such. So now why the double standard?

Suppose Bharat gave sanctuary to a wanted fugitive in Canada on terrorism charges, do you think Canada would see this as threatening their sovereignty?

@ThunderCat Would you be fine with Canadians assassinating Amit Shah in India?

All I am stating is this: Suppose BLA members were given sanctuary in another country. The ISI eventually seeks to eliminate them on that country's soil because they threaten Pakistani sovereignty.

The Pakistani military's argument will be is that since the country refuses to hand them over, they undermine Pakistani sovereignty by hosting them.

Caring about another country's law and assassinating people on their soil are two distinctly separate things at two different levels.

I see Indian attitudes hardened against Canada (because of the perceptions you mentioned) and the expectation is that Canadians will capitulate (along with the rest of the West).

No one is saying Khalistanis were right in doing the things they did in India, but sending Indian RAW and assassins to Canada is a game changer now.

So I will repeat the reasons why I think that Canadians will sit on their tush is unrealistic - in spite of your perceptions.

Canada, US and the rest of the NATO countries speak with one voice - always. Threatening Canada's sovereignty is the same as threatening that of the US and most NATO members.

Right now - the US might be okay to look the other way on India's assassination attempts, but push comes to shove, they will stand behind Canada. They can do things in geopolitical context too, like maybe what happened in Bangladesh.

  • About ~75% or more of the armaments produced in India as JV's have Western or Israeli imported components, like radars on India's destroyers and most components on the Tejas fighter, just a few examples.
  • Majority of India's remittances come from the West and its stooges. They can make life for India's economy quite difficult, in spite of the threshold and heft you mention. Remittance to India was a major part of Indian economy, which was $125 Billion last year.
  • Most of Indian labor class remits money from the Gulf (UAE mostly), who are also Western stooges. See chart below.
  • India is heavily dependent on the West for the Backoffice business, not the other way round. This can go South with no guarantees at the stroke of a pen. Of course TCS, Wipro and others won't let it happen and will stop it far before anything untoward happens.

So if the remittances were to stop, Indian workers deported and sent home, Backoffice business re-routed to other countries, how will the Indian economy fare? Just so Indian administration can now throw their weight around and re-jig Western countries thinking, so they can deal with the more powerful India? These are important issues to think about.

I know it warms the cockles of every Indian's heart to think that their country is powerful in some way or the other, and they can teach Canadians a lesson. Perception is everything, as they say.

But reality (and the long terms fallout of this fiasco) may be very different.

This (hardening of Indian sentiment against Canada) has not happened overnight.

Nor is a a jingoistic muscular knee jerk against the buffoon currently leading Canada.

Kanishka was unpardonable.

Which is why Indians across the political spectrum, including and especially those who do not like the BJP and its cohorts, are all rallying around the flag here together.

The West has only once chance and one candidate of similar size and heft to counter China with.

Were that nation to be pushed into the Sino Russian axis permanently, it would effectively signal the end of western global preeminence (forget hegemony).

With the threshold heft come options and leverage.

And that threshold heft is built on a strong foundation of organic self reliance.

Sanctions are not new to India.

My generation has seen western sanctions since the 70s.

If little Iran can do it, you think India cannot?

The problem with Canada is that Canada wants to cover all the crimes of these Khalistani Speariest under the cover of Freedom of speech. They can threaten Indian diplomats, reveal their identity, they can issue warning of bombing the plane, they can openly threaten to break India under the cover of freedom of speech. Canada will protect them under the cover of freedom of speech. If you do that, you are a terrorist country and India has all the rights to target all those who roams freely in Canada violating all international norms and conventions made in this regards.

There are two types of separatists. One who fights ideological battle. Another type is those who are involved in violent act. They conspire, promote and threaten the involve acts. Second kind is dangerous, and they need to be dealt in the manner in which they choose as the act of protest. With first type, you can engage in dialogue.

Violence at Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton. Screengrab: Chandra Arya via @AryaCanada/X
Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned as "unacceptable" violence at a Hindu temple near Toronto on Sunday (November 3, 2024), following skirmishes blamed by some leaders on Sikh activists.


Local police in the city of Brampton, roughly 50 km (30 miles) northwest of Toronto, said they had deployed heavily outside the Hindu Sabha Mandir in order to maintain calm during a protest.


A spokesman for the Peel Regional Police told AFP that no arrests had been made. Police have also declined to assign blame for the reported violence.






Did not want to blow up India ties: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau

"The acts of violence at the Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton today are unacceptable. Every Canadian has the right to practice their faith freely and safely," Mr. Trudeau wrote on X.


A federal lawmaker and member of Trudeau's Liberal Party, Chandra Arya, blamed the incident on "Khalistanis," a reference to supporters of the fringe separatist movement for an independent Sikh homeland in India's Punjab state.

Relations between Canada and India have nosedived after Ottawa accused the Indian Government of orchestrating the 2023 killing in Vancouver of 45-year-old naturalized Canadian citizen Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a prominent Khalistan activist.


Beyond Nijjar's killing, Canada has accused India of directing a broad campaign targeting Sikh activists on Canadian soil, which Ottawa says has included intimidation, threats and violence.

"A red line has been crossed by Canadian Khalistani extremists today," Mr. Arya, who is Hindu, posted on X.

"The attack by Khalistanis on the Hindu-Canadian devotees inside the premises of the Hindu Sabha temple in Brampton shows how deep and brazen has Khalistani violent extremism has become in Canada," he said.


Video circulating on social media appears to show individuals carrying yellow Khalistan flags clashing with a rival group, including people holding Indian flags. There were also isolated fist fights, videos show.


Mr. Trudeau charged the Government of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi with violating Canadian sovereignty.

India has rejected the allegations.

Delhi and Ottawa earlier this month each expelled the other's ambassador and other senior diplomats.

import the 3rd world, import their problems

xutia liberal canuckistan paying the price now

Partly true. Many Indian migrants are there in many countries and they run their Medial sector, IT Sector and Education sector. If you allow criminals on the name of Asylum, you will pay the price. Anyway, Canada is a gone case. One can determine his/her gender by declaration. Too much BS on the name of individual freedom. Drugs is rampant. Idiot like Trudeau is on helm and asylum to Khalistanis make it a gone case totally.
