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

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.
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.
import the 3rd world, import their problems
xutia liberal canuckistan paying the price now
Anyway, Canada is a gone case.
The only gone case is India. Canada is far superior to what India can ever muster up.
