HASHTAGS:
Thank you for calling it terrorism!
I can't express how infuriating it's been watching mainstream Canadian media call all these guys as religious leaders
Modi ji also terrorist organisation leader according to Canada government
Jai Shankar statement target killing is not india policy
BJP government never stop mob lynching in india that means mob lynching is india policy?
Promoting terrorism is also wrong ideology
@@althaf.2619 Pakistanis complaining about terrorism is a joke. 🤡
@@althaf.2619 PM Modi is a democratically elected leader of democratic organization which isn't black listed by any existing country till date. No official legal documents exists which directly links Modi to any form of illegal violence. No evidences were submitted by Canadian govt which proves Trudeau's allegations against Indian govt & I personally believe if Bin Laden deserves it Nijjar too deserves it.
as an Indian, we love PM Modi and as a citizen i voted him for that position, so i can confirm hes not a terrorist leader and loved by all (mature) indians, cause hes really a GOAT leader. so dont talk crap about him. @@althaf.2619
@@althaf.2619lol. Good joke.
*Fun Fact:* Punjab province/state is not exclusive to India, Pakistan too has a larger Punjab province with sizeable Sikh population, however Khalistanis only want land carved out of India, and not Pakistan, because Khalistan is a project by Pakistan under its _"Bleed India by 1000 cuts"_ doctrine.
Edit: JJ is equating Sikhs as Khalistanis whereas in reality well over 90% of Sikhs don't want Khalistan, only those with allegiance to Pakistan want it.
Preach
@@EliasRoy Burn 🔥
Edit: To address everyone once and for all about the claims "Pakistan doesn't have sizeable Sikh population", remember the white portion in Pakistani flag is supposed to represent the minority, and indeed in 1947 there were 20 percent minorities, and *Sikhs had sizeable population in Pakistan is no false statement,* atrocities on minorities is no secret in Pakistan and additionally both countries were supposed to be secular so it wasn't even forced migration after independence and therefore those Sikh numbers make a part of Pakistani identity, in fact since this is true even in India there are more Muslims than Pakistan's entire population, Pakistan not keeping its end of the promise doesn't entitle it to change the fact that is real.
This is a 100% true
All of my Sikh friends are fully against the idea of Khalistan, it’s very clearly a ploy to divide people and incite violence and hatred.
@saewhalahore was also the capital of Sikh kings before Britishers came to India.
One thing Trudeau did and every indian should thank him : uniting all indian political parties together
A rare W for indian politics
Has it ?
Yep both the Indian right and the left hate him
@@sgupta2908In this case yes.
Canada is becoming a rougue manipulated state just like Europe with all its immigration.
@@sgupta2908 yeah, it's very very rare.
Did not expect such unbiased commentary from a Canadian on this topic. More power to you sir.
@hkc2140
I similarily think J.J. McCullough does have his viewpoints on the matter, though I greatly appreciate his overview of the situation.
Dustin Trudeau 😂 ki burai kon nahi karega😂
Wym unbiased hes a conservative. He would be a republican in America his a idiot
unbiased? he mentions that this is explicitly a biased video at the very beginning?
@@warmjets45 On the internet, 'unbiased' means "having characteristics I agree with or at least find palatable".
You forgot to mention that Indian government had asked for Parmar’s extradition before the Air India bombing. It’s should have been easy as both nations are part of the commonwealth. However Justin Trudeau’s dad Pierre denied the request because Indian government didn’t consider the Queen (of England) a head of state.
He did not forgot but it's plan of white-washing the history and not showing the active involvement of Canada in the hub terroirs.
Lols I hardly think Pierre cared for the Queen so much. It was just an excuse to deny India any support as Canada is Ally of US and US at that point saw India in the Soviet camp. Not to forget the western alliance have long envisioned to weaken India to limit its influence as the leader of third world. Sikhs have been used against India for centuries by the British and in a way the Anglosphere ( UK Canada Australia and New Zealand) sees the Sikhs as pet dogs who can are to be molly-coddled and be used against the wild dogs (Hindus and Muslims) of the subcontinent. Canada remains the most ethno-supremacist post-colonial Anglo state, though Australia is no less. Canada is incredibly racist but for some reason India has never called out British and Canada. Indians naively see Canada as a second-rate America, in reality Canadians see themselves more as British overseas territory - more proud of British colonial heritage than modern day Brits themselves.
India is still a banana democracy and is headed by a mass murderer and terrorist for Muslims and other minorities. His Hindu RSS gangs killed more than 300 tribal Christians and he did not take any actions.
Exactly! Canada has been reluctant and it's time they get to know ..Bharat can do the surgical strike ANY BLOODY WHERE if our sovereignty is put to question.
@@NiteshWebDevelopercalm down bruh!
This video is proof that if you want to really understand an issue, RUclips is often miles ahead of news coverage. Well done!
He really doesn't understand how seriously ALL of india takes national security its not a Modi government thong its not a bipartisan issue.
Thats always been the case. The news provides you an overview of current events not an in depth discussion about the history. Its News...
Dan, love your videos. They are so tranquil, it's great so see people around the world.
The real question is, whether this content is Canadian enough.
Miles ahead or just more transparent?
As a non-India and non-Canadian, thank you for letting me know the world is a worse place than I thought it is. Honestly, great video, great explanation.
Seems he’s just another sellout stooge to the Indian government propaganda to mislead the public.
I use to like watching his take on current affairs but it seems he’s now one sided in reporting the facts.
Not world it's humans
this explanation was far far left propaganda
let me tell u what really happend
in india there are many corrupt politicians and one corrupt prime minister made a mistake of creating group called khalistani radicals
now these khalistaniis seek fake political assylum in canada and take the drug money from pakistan and try to threaten soverignity of india
canada government long been made aware about these kinds of activity but they refuse to act
now the sikh leader got killed in canada by unknown gunmen
and neither canada nor 5 eyes showed any proof of involment of india
due to these false allegation india retaliated by kicking out 40 deplomets and will continue to detoriate the relations between india and canada untill they act against khalistanis

@@Truth-Sikher What do you say about Sikh Dr. Manmohan Singh being Prime Minister in India from 2004-2014. About outstanding Sikh professionals such as Dr. Gagandeep Kang in South India [lead virologist very prominent during covid]. About the Sikh Nihang's who stand strong saying that they are a part of "Sanatan Dharma" [eternal ethical action]. About the fact that Sindhi and Punjabi Hindu's also read the "Guru Granth Sahib" and ancient Indian texts.
Can we discuss how DISAPPOINTING the mainstream has been? Thank you for your work. THIS is why people turned to RUclips. Can’t believe some elite hypocrites would call terrorists freedom fighters
Imagine not turning away from the mainstream like 20 years ago. Will you stop shaming alternative-seeking people now? It's gonna be amazing when people realize (too late) that the "conspiracy theorist" slandering was made up exactly because of this.
I'm neither Indian nor Canadian, but I am fascinated by how immigrant groups are often much more nationalistic and radical than the people back home. In particular, I'm from Croatia and my impression is that immigrant Croatians in Germany and Australia often tend to care much, much more about historical issues and our grudges with our neighbors than most people that I know in Croatia.
it's because - 1. Many people who leave the country, are stuck in a time warp, whereas people in the country tend to move on with times. 2. Many people who leave, leave because of a political situaiton/event, so they are self-selecting to be mroe passionate about it.
@@anonymouslyopinionated656both excellent, astute comments.
Yes, even back here in India, only a minuscule portion of the Sikh population entertains the notion of Khalistan. Sikhs are widely regarded as exemplary citizens, with a significant presence in various spheres - from holding the position of Prime Minister and high-ranking politicians to commanding all three branches of the armed forces. They are well-represented in academia, sports, and the entertainment industry, and staunch patriots by raising three distinct regiments in the Indian Army from the state of Punjab alone. We often joke about that when Canadian Sikhs want to make Khalistan, not Indians so why don't they make that in their own homeland that is Canada. Most of Canada's land is Khali Sthan (empty space) anyway.
This is sooo true and relatable in this case🤦♂️🤦♂️👍👍
Have u tried to find whether your neighbors hold grudges against u as well?
The real problem is the lack of any arrests following such an attack, the worst airline related terrorism incident until 9/11. Witnesses were murdered along the way to a trial and eventually one person was convicted 20 years later and he served less than 5 years in prison. Imagine if the 9/11 terrorists survived and nobody cared to uncover who was behind it and those terrorists lived happily ever after in New York City.
Because it was done by Hindu Indian government terrorists, because sikhs never kill the innocent civilians so it was definitely the Indian government who did that because everyone already knows the Indian governments tactics from the past where the Indian Government had been conducting a covert intelligence operation in Canada. This operation has involved the deception both of Canadian Security forces and of the Canadian Government, and led to one of the most horrific acts of modern terrorism-the killing of 329 people in the Air India Bombing of 1985.
These are the conclusions of Soft Target, a startling, shocking book by Zuhair Kashmeri [of the Toronto Globe and Mail] and Brian McAndrew [of the Toronto Star].
At the center of Soft Target are Canada’s Sikhs. Probing deeply into the story of Sikh unrest from the early 1980’s on, Kashmeri and McAndrew argue that the Sikhs are the victims of manipulation and disinformation carried out by the Indian Government. With the aim of discrediting the Sikhs and undermining the campaign for an independent Punjab, Indian agents have infiltrated the Sikh community in Canada, fomenting hostility towards Indian and even provoking violent incidents.
Along the way, say Kashmeri and McAndrew, India has also played a devious game with the Canadian government. In the mid 1980’s, exploiting the Canadian desire to maintain good relations with India, Indian Diplomats and agents directed a steady stream of phony tips on the Sikhs to the Canadian Government. These tips were accepted at face value by External Affairs and the RCMP. Some CSIS agents eventually caught on to what India was doing, but their political masters would not listen.
Drawing on information from Canadian Sikhs, Indian diplomats and agents of CSIS and the RCMP, Soft Target is an extraordinary piece of investigative journalism. Teeming with characters out of a Le Carré novel, the book guides the reader through the byzantine politics of Sikh nationalism and the shadowy world of international espionage. In its convincing analysis of events leading to and following the Air India bombing, it shows who was pulling the strings and who was the made the fool...
So sooner the other governments catch on to the terrorist tactics the india government does better it is for everyone…
Also please everyone go online and checkout 1984 Sikh Genocide and see what the government of india is capable of doing to its own citizens, after the attack Sikhs decided enough is enough and decided they no longer want to live like second class citizens where Brahmin Hindus are trying to kill off all minorities including Sikhs, Christians, Muslims and others and trying to make all of india only for Hindus.
Right. The Canadians hiding behind their tolerance and ‘values’ to let these Khalistani animals roam freely on their soil even after they’ve killed 100s of Canadians is beyond disgusting, india has been pleading with Canada over the years to work with them to extradite these scum but Canada has simply ignored it
Well chickens come home to roost
Ps I’m Sikh and I hope whoever gunned this POS down continues their work,
Imagine if the majority of the 911 attackers were Saudi Arabian and the Saudi government had funded the attack, but Saudi Arabia was never held accountable, and instead, our government lied to start a war that eliminated the Saudis main rival.
Oh wait that's exactly what happened.
But they have been proven. Whole world knows who was behind the Air India blast. It was done by Khalistani militant. We asked Canadian govt to hand them to India, but they never did. Instead, Canada always interfered in the internal matters of India. They secretly played their move during Farmers Agitation which resulted in the unrest during Republic day. Plus Canada doesn't have any proof regarding India's involvement in the killing of Nijjar. If they have any proof, show us. Even their opposition in Canada are constantly asking Trudeau to show them the proof.
@@charlesrhodes1089 Good story you can make a movie, with a disclaimer that it's fiction lol

Sikh in India are revered. As a woman in India, having a Sikh brother in a room, has an automatic response of being safe.

@@drg598 it’s all because of congress. They took their learning of governing the people from Britishers, divide and rule. Oppress and rule. Again Congress has no standing in terms of policies and even a good congress leader, so they are back to religion and region based politics. Creating unrest between different groups within India. Doesn’t matter what the cost is. India is on the verge of becoming a superpower, back to its original glory, but congress isn’t interested. Hope our people can realise with economic development our problems will find a solution too. We will be able to provide better irrigation to Punjab land so it becomes prosperous again. Start hi tech companies there so professional jobs are available to them too and they don’t have to leave Punjab and go to other places. We will get there if Congress can be stopped from its divide and rule politics

@@truthmaker700 your point being?
As a Indo-Australian from a Sikh background, it’s super interesting to see the difference in discourse and culture with regards to Khalistan. My entire life I haven’t really seen anyone here share that rhetoric for support for the movement - or most people just don’t care at all or are indifferent. Seeing this play out in Canada, and in its politics - is super interesting.
really, who are you bluffing and clearly you are a terrorism apologist. Go to your gurudwara in Australia and see the fun. Go to any gurudware and see the gentlemens who photos have been put up.
Thanks for sharing your perspective.
Seems like Canada accepted a lot more refugees during and after the anti-Sikh riots/ethnic cleansing in the 1980s than other countries. That paired with the fact that most Canadians live in just a couple cities like Toronto or Surrey meant that all these refugees fleeing violence all clustered together and kept that hotbed of extremism alive in Canada while the movement died out everywhere else.
Having lived in both Canada and now Australia I can explain some differences: Australia has been more nationalistic whereas Canada is based more on tribalism. This tribalism has manifested itself in the 1984 Multiculturalism Act and created even further division in society. It has been exploited by unvetted Sikh migrants who enter politics in order to further the interests of their own tribe. Australia is protected from foreign interest groups usurping power by section 44 of the Australian constitution. The referendum next week will be a test if Australians are willing to allow a special interest group (i.e. Marcia Langdon) from gaining control over the federal government in order to drive her own agenda. Vote No!
@@thinkingcitizen bluffing? the gangster supportive sikh community has been exposed. Go to any gurudwara and see whos posters have been on the walls for the last 30 years. Any gurudwara. This kind of lame talk is not bluffing anyone anymore. Khalistanis running Indian restaurants and harming India with active support from people like YOU.
JJ didn't want to touch the Indian side but Sikhs in general are respected and highly valued in India for their contribution to Indian society, in particular the sacrifices they made for Indian independence and continue to make even today. India's anger toward Canadian indifference over Sikh extremists is broadly shared in India - not just among chauvinist Modi supporters!
Instead of saying Sikh extremist say khalistani
In reality they are using khalistan name in order do some illegal stuff like killing people supply drugs in Punjab. they gain the support of people .pannu is involved with many gangs in Punjab and i think some how government is also helping them
You’re not addressing the terrorism of the Khalistanis and glossing over their terrorist activities
i was just about the comment this, we indians deeply respect sikh brothers and their contributions to India but khalistanis terrorists should not be tolerated.
@@shubhamjani2509 ofc
Actually, Sikhs are highly regarded in India compared to others due to their generally hardworking and empathetic nature. Very recently did I learn about Khalistani terrorism in India (clue: it doesn't exist in India at all). Unfortunately, due to racism sponsored apathy, Canada ended up accumulating extremists. Do not know whether it is good for Canadian society or not (clue: it isn't good). As far as India is concerned, we are more than happy to share space with our Sikh brethren in our home country.
”Khalistan” is a joke, A project in collaboration with CIA and ISI, and that’s how they claim everything Indian except for Lahore where the original capital of the Sikh Empire was located, or even Nankana Sahib (one of the holiest places in Sikhism); because “Abbu🇵🇰 nahi manenge” 😂
conveniently says "Khalistani terrorism" instead of "Sikh separatism" to completely sweep a huge portion of history under the rug
Did Canada genocide Sikhs like India did in 1984?
Your observation that khalistani are popular in Punjab is not true. Majority of indian sikhs want to be
Indians.
5:16 "A unique flavour of political violence had come to Canada ... that the majority of Canadians were indifferent to." Wonderfully put. 👏
Dont think Canadians are capable of intelligence. They are high on democracy-soil-sovereignty lectures, thats all. You can down an airline there and their un-intelligence would have no clue.
Agreed. JJ's take is always refreshing.
Americans would be shitting themselves if it happened in america
@@maximilianomadrigal6661America went berserk after 9/11, their Muslim community went through so much shit, often unnecessarily. Meanwhile Canada couldn’t/can’t take actual terrorists seriously and just shrugged off the hijacking because it wasn’t white Canadians who died.
Also, Nijjar illegally immigrated to Canada, mind you.
Well indifference isn’t helping Canada is it ? Crime has gone up drugs have gone up gang violence have gone up. All due to supporting extremism. Are we gonna wait until it hits our individual homes ? Canada was a peaceful and multicultural country now it’s all about Khalistan.
Having friends who are from Canada, friends who are Sikh and some acquaintances who are from India, this was a very interesting experience over the past week or so.
😂
Tell me more I'm very interested in what they had to say.
Talk about a spicy group chat.
@@rahinv My Canadian friends aren't that interested and have an apathetic view of all of this. My Sikh friends are concerned and my Indian friends are reasonably asking questions about the sincerity of Trudeau's actions.
Why Canada gave citizenship to Nijjar, he landed on a fake passport, married a Canadian woman within 11 days of being denied a refugee status. It is well known if anyone lies on their documents for visa or immigration, it is outright rejected.
how does this guy look like a teenager and a 40 year old professor at the same time?
India : we didn't do it.
Indians: we will fookin do it again
I'm Sikh from Punjab INDIA and I see no difference between Khalistani movement and ISIS. My grandfather faught for India's independence and I can never betray him Jai hind 🇮🇳
All I'm wondering is how the hell a man does only 5 years in prison for an assassination attempt. Can we at least agree that our justice system is not fit for purpose?
No part of our system is fit for purpose, it has to allow reworked.
Also an attempted assassination of a foreign minister at that.
Can't speak for Canada, but here in the US crimes commited against minorities tend to get a lesser sentence against crimes commited against whites. You can see how black on black crimes tend to get a lesser sentence than black on white crimes (on a national average). This tends to continue the cycle of minority neighborhoods having higher than average crimes (again, speaking in averages),
its white supramacist usa west agenda to distablize india create unrest in india @@mattd5240
He was sentenced to 20 years but got out early. In those days, sentences were pretty meaningless because you could get parole so early. I believe the system is more honest now, with sentences explicitly stating how much time must be served “before the possibility of parole.”
As an Indian, everything you said makes sense. Fir the first time, I'm going to research about Khalistan movement from a khalistani POV. Thanks for the video.
Kudos, you were able to walk a very fine line. This is a video people need to watch if they want to understand recent Indian - Canadian tensions.

@@Entreri007 Cope harder
I'm from India and not a Sikh. I'd been following this issue for a while. There haven't been one, who actually put things to perspective; like its been done here. Truly unbiased and exceptional. Like the turban they wear, the Sikh community are a kind of pride to our country. Its really sad to know that the complete community is been shamed because of some handful of miscreants. I just hope that this ends soon. Once again, a beautiful commentary.
Turbans as a source of pride? If this tradition is so deserving of pride and admiration why wouldn't they make life better in Punjab province rather than moving to another country and then not adopting the traditions there?
I think it's very fair to say that the reverse would not be very welcome at all, Canadians traveling to that part of the world and retaining their native North American freedoms culture and traditions would be very unwelcome and most likely in danger.
India is one of the fastest-growing and will be one of the wealthiest Nations on the planet, if I were a proud Indian person with a deep faith that is rooted in that region I would never leave it, I would stay and help improve it and become part of an even more incredible beautiful Nation with many advantages and a super bright future to come.
@@Jack_Stafford they leave Punjab for the same reasons (assuming you're North American) your ancestors probably left England, Scotland, Ireland, Italy, Germany, Ukraine (and other parts of the Russian Empire in general), etc. If they could make their homes better they wouldn't leave it lol. Just looking at headline gdp figures doesn't tell one the full reality of life in India or Punjab, in Punjab the higher education institutions tend to be underfunded, while the state like much of the country has an unemployment problem with the state economy being relatively stagnant in comparison to the national economy (state went from having one of the highest per capita gdp in the country in the 80s-90s to being close to national average today), all of this is ignoring the agricultural situation or state politics.
@@Jack_Staffordabout the turbans, wearing turbans is not part of the providence but Sikhs are discouraged to cut their hair so they use turbans when their hair grows long. Also, apart from being athletes the Sikhs are practically the military elite, several generals and admirals are Sikh so they do contribute to the country. The Sikhs who don't adapt to foreign societies do so for a reason - they don't want to, they want to be visible so the leftists can use them as a minority votebank. Most Sikhs would blend in quite well since politics is not their concern.
@@Jack_Stafford Understand the game, ppl who are coming to CANADA are not educated, they are criminals and gangsters.. and KHALISTAN slogan gives them political patronage... Drugs, human trafficking that come from Mexico and elsewhere is tunneled into Canada by these truck drivers most of them are criminals and uneducated, wanna be gangsters, who donate lotta money to your JUSTINDER TURD.. They do commit crimes in INDIA and fly to CANADA to escape punishment, Lot of them are involved in prostitution and terrorism in India, like the one who died a dog's death..

@@thelakeman2538 That's an excellent point. The gross GDP figures, the military spending, or the swagger on the world stage don't often paint an accurate picture of the realities of the life of an average (average, not privileged) Indian. The country is overcrowded, jobs are still not easy to come by unless one is educated in an elite school, too many people are possibly competing for limited resources. Given these stark realities, why would anyone not look for greener pastures? In fact, even those who are privileged leave India.
I did not know about the 1985 airplane terrorist attack. It reminds me of in 2020, when Iran attempted to shoot a missile at an American air force base, but accidentally shot down a civilian jet plane flying from Tehran to Canada, and mostly carrying Iranian-Canadians who were traveling home to Canada after visiting family in Iran. I always thought it was a tragedy how quickly western media glossed over hundreds of Canadians being murdered by the Iranian government, I thought if Iran had shot down a plane full of white Canadians, there would be more of a fuss. I guess that racism is as much of a problem in the 2020s as it was in the 1980s.
It's not Canada - India Crisis
It is Trudeue - India crisis
This has to undertstand by Canadian people
Most of us are chill AF. Khalistani agenda is not popular with most Sikhs as it goes against our core and fundamental beliefs. Some of those beliefs are that; we are all one & being a lover before you are a warrior.
Lmao you clearly know nothing about Sikhi then. Go read Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s 27th Hukam and tell me Khalistan is against sikhi. Also where tf did you get the message we’re “supposed to be lover before warriors”?😂😂 you’re supposed to be a Sant-Sipahi, Saint Soldier.

As an Indian, my advice to Canada is just stop visas to Indians too and let's break whatever trade we used to do. There are plenty other countries to do trade with. We Indians live next to Pakistan, China and knows how bad Terrorism looks like. We don't want one more country to send terrorists to our country. You enjoy those in your country. Cherish them, feed them, grow them and enjoy the fruits that they will provide in return.
Correct.
Most underrated comment. India has nothing significant to gain in maintaining ties with Canada.
Quality of immigration, including workers and students is extremely poor in Canada, it has been changing but not much. Can you compare with US ? The diaspora immigrated to US is mostly in white collar from other states and well respected and are in medical and engineering. [There is small percentage from Punjab but mostly they are in non white collar doing farming and plumbing]. People from other states are making India proud and good image of India , In USA, indians from other states are in majority and more than people from Punjab but they dont indulge in hooliganism and attacking consulate. Majority [over 90%] are in white collar and have come by skilled legal migration which is a long process. You can see public data published by US govt on their demographics and there is negligible % of people from punjab in high earning starts I dont want to be harsh but i just wanted to show reality. Have you ever seen people from other states of India indulging in such hooliganism? But Most of the immigrated from Punjab are from rich family back and they abused immigration policies in Canada. You just have to search youtube for video "Row erupts over Sangrur MP Simranjit Singh Mann allegedly helping Khalistanis to seek asylum abroad"
Many Sikhs arrived in Canada to escape genocide and state sponsored terrorism.
The Indian government worked hard for 30 years to successfully heal the relationship with Sikhs... But now we have a goonda in charge who is crying for a Hindu fundamentalist state making enemies out of innocents.
Not to mention that Canadian-Indian trade is really insignificant
Yes let 5 eyes sponspored canadian khalistani make Canada Kanada Khalistani
So proud to be Indian and live in their own nation building it up. Something no Indian has ever done.
Why did Justin Trudeau give so much liberty to Sikh community to protest against India and advocate the #khalistani movement while it is affecting Canada India relationship?
For political gain
A very balanced presentation. There is one point that is missed in the ending. In India, both parties are united on this issue (a rare occurence). In many ways, this is an issue that concerns the opposition Congress party more than the ruling BJP. It was the Congress party supremo, Indira Gandhi, who was assasinated by the Khalistanis in 1984 - her death celebrated with a float (depiciting her assassination) in Canada a few weeks ago. It was Mrs.Gandhi who was pleading with the senior Trudeau to extradite the soon-to-be Air India bombing planner. It was the Congress in power when the two Air India bombs went off. Yes, two Air India bombs - the second one exploded on the ground in Tokyo resulting in 2 deaths vs 300+. The BJP could have taken the petty politics route and dismissed most of this as insults to his arch-rival congress party. The fact is that the BJP and Congress are in complete sync on this issue - it's not just a Modi/BJP thing.
It doesn't matter, like always when it's about Indians, who cares. Murdered million Jews, Hitler become worst leader ever, but million Indians died because of Churchill's lack of empathy to poor Indians, no one gives a fck. We should grow economically, be suspicious of west as much as that we don't become their ally, stay neutral, solve our crisis with China and focus on making Indians rich.
So next time they treatus like shit, they will be scared, like they are scared of China now.
I have never seen almost all Indians across the political spectrum inside India and among the global Indian diaspora unite on any single issue before. This is probably unprecedented.
I think Canadians should take note and quickly take down Khalistanis within Canada the way the USA and to a lesser degree UK and Australia are doing.
Very well written and is true. This issue is more associated with Congress then BJP. Also if we look at the creation of whole this problem, that is rise of Bhindranwale, lawlessness in Punjab with killing of both Sikhs and Hindus, Operation Bluestar, Delhi Pogram 1984, Killing of Miss Gandhi, then Op Black thunder 1986 and 1988 and then cleansing of extremists till 1995, killing of Beant Singh in 1995 etc. These all are directly associated with the Congress.
@@yashsingh0010 Do you see Canada cracking down in Khalistanis?
@@AnAn___ Probably not honestly. The Sikhs are a very powerful and long-lasting minority in Canada, having been here in numbers for over 100 years, they have rallied against any kind of crackdown before and its not impossible to think they may do so again.
The fact that there is even semi-credible evidence that the Indian government assassinated a Sikh leader will only fuel this. Before you scream at me, whether or not they did is irrelevant, as long as there is enough evidence for people to think they did, they might as well have in the eyes of the public.
TLDR, Canada won't do much and India's percieved actions may have only made the problem worse.
I remember the air india flight bombing off the coast ireland, it was one of the worst terrorist attacks in the republic and it is remembered as probably the biggest terrorist attack in cork in modern history (obviously after the civil war and war of independence), it was tragic. the bodies were recovered and transported to cork airport by helicopter and it was pretty sureal according to people who saw it. today there is a memorial near ahakista village in west cork, it was something that was shocking at the time

I'm an Indian immigrant to Canada, and this is the best, most well informed analysis I've seen in almost all of Canadian media, mainstream or otherwise. Kudos.
Question: How are the non-Sikh Indian immigrants reacting to the whole situation? Are they against Trudeau? Do they want an investigation against the Indian government? Or are they just indifferent and want this to fizzle out?
@krateproductions4872 everyone's different, I can only speak for myself. I despise Trudeau. I also despise Modi. The moment I heard of Nijjar's murder coming after the Ripudaman Singh murder, my first thought was this looks like India taking a page out of Mossad's playbook.
I do want the Indian govt to be investigated, but I also want that investigation to include their claims that Nijjar was a terrorist and India had sought his extradition since a long time but Canada wasn't cooperating, maybe because of Canadian politicians pandering to the khalistan lobby.
The one gripe I do have is that almost no Canadian commentators are covering the history of the khalistan movement, which makes Quebec separatism look like a bar fight. The violation of the holiest Sikh shrine in 1984 by sending in the army was to smoke out armed insurgents who were hiding in it. In response, they assassinated the sitting prime minister of India. Her party responded with a pogrom against Sikhs in Delhi, which hugely strengthened the Khalistan movement, which in a few years became a full fledged armed insurgency in Punjab which killed many thousands, assassinated elected leaders and got funding from the Diaspora in Canada, UK etc.
Canadians can better understand the Indian state's paranoia by comparing the khalistan movement to the IRA, not to Quebec separatism. If the IRA were to start reviving and organizing today, I'm sure the British govt wouldn't be too happy about it.

When you're 2 biggest borders are with China and Pakistan (both extremely hostile nations to India), we take our internal and foreign policy very seriously. It's very difficult for every other western (specifically english speaking) countries to relate as they are probably the most secure nations in the world, being completely surrounded by very friendly neighors, and water with the greatest navies in the world. Its very easy for Westerners to see Indians as paranoid until you understand that if we weren't so paranoid our nation would surely have been destroyed by hostile powers.

“For reasons that are not entirely clear…” - it’s actually a bit clearer. It was mostly veteran Indian soldiers in the British Indian army who were the earliest settlers in BC. And the British Indian army contained a disproportionately high number of Punjabi Sikhs due to a racialised military recruitment policy of the British in India. The Punjabi Sikhs were considered by the British to be a highly “martial race”.
Anyone who supported the Brits in the 1857 uprising was given the title of "martial race" whereas the same people who helped the Brits to defeat these "martial kingdoms" earlier were now called either "criminal tribes" or "non-martial" because they were indulged in the 1857 uprising.
This isnt true, Punjabis came to Canada because they saw both Canada and US as having more freedom and opportunity for them than the oppressive British, but they were met with severe racism when they got there in the 1800s all the way until the 1980s, anti-Punjabi racism was very high

I'd like to think I'm knowledgeable about international politics, but I have say I had little idea of a Punjab independence movement. I know that Indira Gandhi was killed by her Sikh bodyguards, but thought that was revenge over the Golden Temple massacre. In the past it seemed that Sikhs were the elite in India - has that changed?
Although I'm not familiar with the 'Khalistani' movement, there is no disgrace in wanting a separate homeland. If you can't campaign by peaceful means, then it's not really surprising violent groups will rise up.
@@rogink Sikhs do have a larger influence on India than their population numbers might suggest, and they are a well respected and sometimes idealized minority. I'm not sure I'd call them an elite though, and there have been instances of anti-Sikh rhetoric and violence (althought not as severe as some people claim). Mrs Gandhi's bodyguards did indeed kill her over the massacre at the Golden Temple. That incident was actually related to the Khalistan movement. The men holed up in the Temple were Khalistani terrorists, and the Indian military only resorted to violence after negotiations with the men inside failed. In fact, a Sikh Commander was put in charge of the operation on the groud in an attempt to help smooth over tensions. Unfortunately, a combination of the army's failure to adequately warn civilians of what they intended to do, and the use of civilian crowds as human shields by the terrorists, led to a large number of civilian killings, turning what should have been a fairly straightforward (albeit quite contentious) operation into a massacre and a tragedy.
@@rogink the problem is India is an authoritarian state that doesn’t allow it to be advocated for peaceful so naturally the Sikhs had to turn to violence. Also Sikhs were never the elite except for a very short time in the 18th century and 19th centuries during the Misl period and in the Sikh Empire (1799-1849)
@@rogink It was not a 'golden temple massacre'
It was exactly like a particular place was captured by some terrorists and then the government conducted an operation and liberated the place by killing those terrorists, would you consider it a massacre by the government?
Let me take you through its history. In 1947, our India was divided and two independent countries India and Pakistan were formed. Before partition, Punjab used to be a big state in which Hindus, Muslims and Sikhs used to live in equal numbers of 1/3. But at the time of partition, Punjab was also divided into two parts and Eastern Punjab (45%) came to India's part and Western Punjab (55%) went to Pakistan's part. Because Pakistan was divided in the name of Islam, almost all the Hindus and Sikhs from Pakistan (Western Punjab) fled to Eastern Punjab, India. So your situation was such that in Indian Punjab, Hindus were in majority and Sikhs were in less population. But till now everything was correct. But now Pakistan enters here. Pakistan wanted Indian Kashmir and for this they fought two wars with India till 1965 but they did not get success. On the contrary, in 1971, Pakistan was divided into two pieces, Pakistan and Bangladesh, after which they decided to leave direct war and start non-conventional war. . For this, he worked to instigate Sikhs to create instability in India, supplied guns and drugs to Punjab's part, promoted separatism and started funding the separatists. *Often all the Khalistani and common Sikhs claim that they were tortured and massacred in 1984 but they do not tell the events before that* , let me tell you that. Before 1984, target killing and massacre of Hindus had become common in Punjab. The biggest leader of Khalistanis was General Singh Bhindranwale, under whom hundreds of terrorist attacks were carried out in which thousands of people lost their lives. Bhindranwale, the most prominent Khalistan leader, frequently used anti-Hindu rhetoric in his speeches. Noted Sikh journalist, Kushwant Singh, described Bhindranwale as a “hate monger” who routinely used hateful and inflammatory language against Hindus and exhorted every Sikh to “kill 32 Hindus to solve the Hindu-Sikh problem.” More than 10,000 Hindus were killed in Punjab by Khalistani terrorists, who stopped buses, entered them, identified those who were not wearing turbans and killed them. Hundreds of thousands of Hindus became refugees in their own country and went to neighboring states. And Sikhs become majority in Punjab
Now coming to the issue of your Golden Temple massacre. This is the year 1984 when Khalistani terrorist General Singh Bhindranwala and his supporters captured Harvinder Sahib alias Golden Temple, the holiest site of the Sikhs, and took hundreds of people inside hostage. Late Mrs. Indira Gandhi ordered the Army to conduct an operation to free Harmandir Sahib from the clutches of terrorists and this operation was named Operation Blue Star. The Army did the same, they entered inside the Golden Temple and killed all the terrorists including General Singh Bhindranwala and the Golden Temple was liberated. Resentment increased among the Sikhs over the fact that firing was carried out in their most sacred place. After that, Indira Gandhi is shot dead by her own two Sikh bodyguards. This increases the hatred among the general public supporting Congress, as a result of which Anti-Sikh riots take place in Delhi and parts of Punjab in 1984, in which many innocent Sikh people were killed.
That was the whole story of pre 1984.

You have ignored the background of Nijjar. His visa got rejected twice due to fake passport. He managed to get PR by marrying a citizen and political help.
I suspect it's a religious politics problem within some temples across Canada. I worked with one Sikh who told me his temple came knocking on his front door after he stopped attending. They had the gall of guilt tripping him and implying he was a bad Sikh if he didn't show support by giving them a donation.
There are political factions sometimes when it comes to who runs the local temple. When a community has bad leadership all the little people suffer. All of Canada has the same problem right now.

Hmm..that's why peaceful Sikhs in Canada are not protesting against it.
Many Khalistani religious leaders fled in the 80s and 90s and began dominating overseas Sikh institutions
As someone from India, I really hope this situation is solved diplomatically and privately. I do believe that India and Canada can cooperate and put this issue to rest once and for all.
Also to add, nobody in Punjab or other Sikhs in India support this stupid idea of a theocracy.

Khalistan is reality Sikhs State is reality. Punjab is under Indian OCCUPATION. Khalistan is reality Sikhs State is reality.
Khalistani movement is not a political movement. It’s a front for criminal activity and supported by ISI.
Also most people ignore how caste plays a bigger role than religion, 99.9% of Khalistanis are Sikhs of Jutt caste, which is just 18% of Punjab's population but they are extremely rich community that owns 85% land in Punjab. Almost all the major Sikh politicians in Canada are Jutts.
I've met many Sikhs of different castes, Khatris, Rajputs, Ravidassiya and they are all pro India, most Jutt Sikhs are pro India too(for every Bhindranwale we have a KPS Gill) , but during the 80s and 90s a lot of anti India Jutts moved to Canada (and now they form a huge population there).

You're a brave man for tackling this subject JJ! In his book "Waging War from Canada" , the author Mike Pearson explains how the Canadian system harbours terrorists and allows their movements to flourish. Home grown terrorist groups such as the FLQ and Mohawk Warriors received mild sentences for their crimes. The television series "Air Crash Investigation" Season 5, Episode 7; displayed how the race card was played by one of the bombers who effectively used The Multiculturalism Act to prevent the counter staff from questioning his activities. It was Air India's own team that did a proper investigation where the CSIS bungled it. The Canadian example is a display how a government will spend more on tribalism than it's own defense. The Canadian taxpayer will pay for all of this.

If you further talk about the opinion of Indians on this matter, everyone and by that i mean everyone is united and standing with the current government because even the congress had the same issues when they were in power and if anyone thinks rahul gandhi(opposition leader) will be a bit better in this situation then no, his grandmother was assassinated by khalistanis.

Them being Canadian citizen’s didn’t matter to Canada at that point of time. So right now, Canadian citizens asking for a part of India doesn’t matter to us. If you want separate state, ask to your country of citizenship not some random country like a fool.
The most suspicious thing is that these Khalistanis dont want the part of Punjab in Pakistan even though the Sikhs in Pakistan have been oppressed to the point that there are no Sikhs in Pakistan but these Khalistani only want a separate country from India. The most hilarious thing is that these Khalistanis are proposing a seperate country without its actual capital of Lahore in Pakistan. All this rather seems to be a plot against India rather than these Khalistanis actually wanting a seperate country. Bet even if their dream comes true and they have their own seperate country, will they leave Canada for it? I don't think so.
The last resort will be nuclear weapons for india regardless of which country start any shit with us. I don't think we even need that those for those khalistanis . We have seen worse terrorists from our neighbouring country pakistan that is finally getting the fruits of their work ,now the same terrorists are they nurtured are bombing the shit out of pakistan . Maybe that will happen to Canada too in the future and Canada and US will be responsible for that. Khalistanis know that they will be neutralised very fast if they attack USA and they can't do much in india since present Indian government provides full support to secret agencies and our armed forces . The only country remains in between is Canada that will be punished for sheltering khalistanis(US asset ) from india .
Your explanation is well articulated, and it's reassuring to see someone from outside the Indo-Canadian community grasp the situation and effectively communicate it to Canadians.
Punjabi's (Sikhs) are most respected and most wealthy people in India.....we are proud of them❤
Where do you think the Sikhs living abroad are from mars? 😂
There's an incredible ammount of similarities between the Canada-India conflict and the Sweden-Turkey conflict. There's similarly a significant number of Kurds in Sweden, and a tendency by politicians to be sympathetic to their plights leading to the downplaying of Kurdish terrorism in Turkey which (understandably) annoys the Turks. They've repeatedly demanded Kurds be extradited on terrorist charges, and Sweden has consistently refused. In our case, it blew up over the NATO accession veto. It's a complicated case - on the one hand, you can be sympathetic with the fury when Western countries shelter what (they perceive to be) terrorists and take a nonchalant attitude to what is a national security threat to them, on the other the actions/demands of those countries in response are unacceptable.
There is a simple solution, the West should realize that the colonial era is over. Or else, more powerful Oriental states will use exert their strengths and force the weaker Occidental states to come begging at the negotiation table.
The strong do what they will, the weak suffer what they must
@@mountainsmakemehorny it is and states like Turkey wants to emulate the colonial times for themselves and get rid of their pesky minorities
One big difference is that Punjabi Hindus and Sikhs are the same ethnicity. They intermarry often, speak the same language, the founders of Sikhism were all Hindus, etc. India's prime minister has been a Sikh. India's ambassador to America is also a Sikh, whom these Khalistanis want to kill. It isn't really like Kurds and Turks, who are very different cultures. This is kind of why there's no real Khalistan movement in India. It's all in Canada and Britain, from a small minority of people who intimidate the majority of Sikhs. There is a reason that Surrey is the most dangerous city in Canada. It's quite likely that eventually, if this radicalised faction truly manages to conquer Canadian Sikhs, the separatist demand will be on creating a Sikh country in Canada itself. Sikhs are already 2.2% in Canada and rising, while they're 1.6% in India.
As someone who studied the Turkish Diaspora, you are forgetting one country that has the largest Turkish and Kurdish community outside of Turkey and the Middle East, which is Germany and Austria. As Germany and Turkey have a complicated relationship for years, because of the massive Turkish community in Germany.
There are few really important points which has been missed.

2 He was on no fly zone in U.S.Stating as threat to U.S.A.
Why was Canada harbouring such a guy and also why was secret service in touch with so called Activist?
Why has Canada Prime Minister not provided with any proof till now?
He is also a 'plumber.'
Sorry forgot to mention he is also a plumber and Indian intelligence officer are so free that they go to Canada to kill a so called PLUMBER. Its an absolute joke.@@ccpccp2126
this is exactly how I have experienced Canada, they have their own version of racism. They favor whites too. No one else really matter enough to think that the Air India flight bombing was ignored by the media and the public as well.
It's really surprising to see how many such 'freedom fighters' Canada harbours - LTTE cadre, Khalistanis, Bangladeshi killers of Mujibur Rahman, Hamas supporters ... many of these guys have actually committed crimes or acts of terrorism in their country of origin. I am sure there are more such 'political refugees' from all over the globe who have found a home in Canada and seem to find active encouragement from the powers that be to further their 'cause' under the cloak of freedom of speech. I am reminded of Hilary Clinton's statement about keeping snakes in your backyard. Canada is likely to find itself in that position sooner or later.
Something that leaves a question in my mind....why is most of the rhetoric of the Khalistani Movement targeted against India, while Pakistan is rarely mentioned. if we took a look at a historical religious census and a modern one, Sikhs have been persecuted much more in Pakistan than in India. Something about that all seems suspicious.
The Khalistanis have released a map of their proposed land in which most of the land was outside Punjab in places where Sikhs never controlled and where Sikhs only constitute a negligible minority. However, they don’t show places in Pakistan which was part of the historical Sikh empire with the most important capital city of Lahore. The truth is that the Khalistan movement is a movement by the Pakistani ISI agency to avenge how India helped Bangladesh gain their independence.
That's a very good question.
@@occam7382brother asked a good question 💀
Because there are barely any Sikhs in Pakistan
Well its complicated and its a product of the fact that the modern Khalistani Movement is in part a consequence of the partition in more ways then you can imagine. I mean I could write a whole essay on this but the main points here would be that partition: 1) United the geographically dispersed Sikh Community. Or to be specific, the Sikh community was spread-out in Punjab pre-1947, and became concentrated following the division of Punjab in partition, 2) It violated promises made to the Sikh community and leadership in-exchange for their support in ensuring that a part of Punjab was going to be in India and 3) It fostered a sense of resentment towards the federal government for having allowed such an event (which later was re-framed in the form of Khalistani claims of Indian persecution)
Context: Pew Research Poll 2020 found that 95% of Sikhs are 'very proud' of their Indian identity. Sikhs are 2% of the population yet have 10% share in the Indian armed forces.
Bro, first of all you need to get correct map of India with full Jammu and Kashmir state.
Ireland did more when it comes to Air India bombing than Canada did. Most of the casualties were Canadians. That says a lot about Canada tbh.

@varun794 Not real Canadians. They are only in Canada to extract wealth, not because they are loyal to Canada. If Canada's economy fails, they will certainly go elsewhere.
The funny thing is that the opening sequence in which JJ talks about how his production cycle precluded him from discussing the India affair could just as easily be applied to this week's video and his inability to go in-depth on the whole Parliamentary Nazi debacle. Canadian politics has really become a circus lately.
Can you blame him?

Former US ambassador to the UN, and current presidential Runner Nikki Haley is sikh her actual name is Nimrata Kwar Haley. Feel free to correct the spelling on it I'm not sure if I spelled her name correctly. She converted to Christianity but she still got married in a gurdwara. I think her conversion was just for convenience, because she was politically active in Extremely Christian South Carolina.

@@thebestevertherewas It was a dark day for us all that day.
Also, from an Indian 🇮🇳 perspective, its very rare to see ALL PARTIES UNITING against something but they are unanimously against Canada on this issue.
You failed to mention an important part of the history of Canada / Indian relations. Canada built the first nuclear reactor in India and was in the process of building CANDU reactors when Indira Gandhi used enriched material from the experimental reactor and detonated India's first nuclear bomb (1974). This was against the technology exchange agreement that Canada and India had signed. It was Trudeau senior who Gandhi stabbed in the back. This resulted in Canada ending all nuclear cooperation and essentially India took the CANDU designs and continued to develop them. It was only a couple of years ago that the two countries signed another agreement on nuclear cooperation. If you look at Indian government sites, India miraculously developed nuclear technology indigenously. I have yet to meet an Indian person who knows this story.
A very balanced approach. Deeply appreciate the way Canadian approach is explained . We understood a lot about the politics of Canada. Many Indians including Sikhs have no sympathy for the extremism. Indians love Sikhs as the religion had its roots in the protection of the then Hindus against Moghul invaders.
As an Indian currently in Canada, I have to say this was incredibly balanced and well thought out. The insight on how political candidates are selected is much appreciated. I just have a few additional thoughts to add, which might give you and your viewers some insight.
1. As a ''post-nation'' state, Canada's biggest long term threat is going to be to integrate immigrants into its own political culture and preventing them from bringing their grievances from home. Former BC Premier Ujjal Dosanjh did a brilliant podcast on this topic recently. One of the main reasons for the Indian government's response is that it is Canadian citizens in Canada who are raking up Indian political issues. Since India constitutionally prohibits multiple citizenship, the Khalistanis in Canada are by definition ''foreigners'' and have no right to participate in Indian politics. Thus Khalistanis would be better serve participating in Canadian politics instead of raking up issues of Indian politics from Canada.
2. What the Canadian government and the West doesn't realize is that the definition of a ''democracy'' is a little different in India compared to the West. I would consider India to be an ''electoral'' democracy and nothing else. Governments and public institutions are often authoritarian by design and our constitution limits freedom of speech and expression for secessionism, threats to public order and calls to violence. This is seen as ''undemocratic'' in the West but by large portions of Indian voters as necessary evils to maintain territorial integrity and public order. The only opportunity Indians get to participate in the process of governance is in federal or state elections. In my mind, Indian culture is generally more deferential to hierarchy and authority similar like say China, Japan or Korea, none of which have a long history of democracy, in the case of Japan only after WWII.
This does not change the fact that Modi is genuinely popular, that elections are free and fair and that there is a legitimate opposition in India unlike in Russia, China or Iran. Confusing cultural authoritarianism with lack of democracy demonstrates a lack of understanding in the West about the different ''flavours'' of democracy.
3. The Indian population is by and large united on issues of foreign policy and zero tolerance of threats of territorial integrity. Literally every opposition party like the Congress (which ironically presided over the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, a blot on our history) supports the government's stand. There is broad consensus on issues like non-alignment in the Ukraine war and buying oil and weapons from Russia and being tough on nations that harbour separatists that threaten Indian territorial integrity. India does not have a history of expansionist foreign invasions like most of the West does. Thus any lecturing by the West when we are trying to protect territorial integrity rejected by all people in the political spectrum.
4. Punjab is actually a broader region that includes an entire province of present day Pakistan. Punjab historically has had a roughly 1/3rd split b/w Muslims, Sikhs and Hindus on a roughly West to East direction. Hundreds of thousands of Sikhs left Western (Muslim majority) Punjab after partition and fled to India. One striking feature of the Khalistan movement is the complete absence of their demands for any part of Pakistan in their homeland. Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism was born in Nankana Sahib, in present day Pakistan. He died at Kartarupur Sahib, which is also in Pakistan. The capital of the Sikh Empire was in Lahore, present day Pakistan. In India this obviously demonstrates that the movement is funded and aided by Pakistan.
I guess India doesn't have much experience with respecting the rule of law and sovereignty of other nations, and just because India never went on a global campaign of conquest doesn't mean it gets to disrespect other nations sovereignty now. The reason those norms are in place in the west is largely because of the west's bloody past, and the lessons learned from it to never repeat it again. The assassination of a foreign citizen on foreign soil is a gross violation of a country's sovereignty, and if India feels comfortable doing it now as a rising power, how much more will they when they become one of the world's most powerful nations?
@@nevets2371 great position. Reap all the benefits of repeatedly violating the sovereignty of other countries and then have a change of heart and expect other nations to fall into place. Great logic.
@@nevets2371 Probably , just like another USA. Afterall, it wasn't that long since a muslim "activist" like Laden was uffed on another country's soil , right?
This is a pretty balanced viewpoints, but I’d like to point out a flaw in your final point: I’ve been to several gurdwaras with varying Khalistan imagery and I’d say the majority of them probably, when they show maps and stuff do show parts of pakistan…just from my personal experience.
@@nevets2371Not much really. India ironically has done more for spread of democracy that any other western nation. One time we intervened in a foreign country militarily we stopped one of the bloodiest genocide, established an independent nation which is now considered one of the rising economies of Asia, ie. Bangladesh. And if we consider violating teritorial sovereignity as a cardinal sin. I wonder what west was doing in Iraq and Afghanistan, seems like all that bloody history did not really teach them anything.
I will still love how this incident united India , left and right , north and south into saying "yeah , fck that terrorist "
It belies my imagination how the Prime Minister of Canada can venture forth to launch a speculative allegation of involvement of Indian diplomats
in an assassination in Canada without any evidence of any sort whatsoever. Surely, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would know the media fervor which
would follow his statement in Parliament. So, his actions are a part of deliberate politics and bravado and need a similar resolute riposte from India. It is
also a real exposure of Canada's law and order administration that they cannot pin down anyone by name in the involvement in the assassination of Nijjar
in broad daylight.

As a Canadian, I've lived and worked with many Sikhs and have found them to be very honorable, charitable, hard working, and community minded. I've even looked into their religion and found it more progressive and open than most others I've looked into. Meanwhile, those few who use violence seem to run against their religions core values. I hope this matter can be resolved peacefully. But as usual, im sure our current Government will screw it up and somehow manage to make things worse.
Most Indians fully aware about the ghastly Air India attack and also about the sheltering of extremists in Canada. A lot of Indian families are still in distress due to loss of lives of their loved ones ( who were Canadian citizens of Indian origin).
J.J., I was intrigued by the candidate selection process that parties in Canada use. It reminds me of the now-largely-extinct *caucus* process in some U.S. States. The only remnant of this is the way a few states, including Iowa, select delegates to the presidential nominating conventions.
As someone who once ran for political office I agree it’s an odd and antiquated system (to put it mildly). In my riding (where, by the way, my chosen party at the time traditionally comes in a distant third provincially and federally telling me there’s very few party supporters here) someone else signed up to be the representative shortly after me, meaning a nomination meeting was needed. I did try to sign people up but I really saw it as a silly exercise as, honestly, they’re not signing up for any positive thoughts on the party (as explained especially not in my riding) but just as “my friend” which goes against how I feel a democracy should function. Needless to say, at the nomination meeting the meeting was packed with her friends and I lost the nomination 12-3 (the three being me, my wife, and someone else). She did get less votes in the general election than I did in a previous (unsuccessful) school board run (which are non partisan) but as I said since my riding never votes for that party I was with I wasn’t expecting much.
@@canuckguy0313 I think it's totally cool that you went through that experience. I envy your chance to participate, even in a hopeless way, in the process. If you have kids it'll be a good story to tell.
Google: “The congressional nominating caucus was a meeting where American congressmen would agree on whom to nominate for the Presidency and Vice Presidency from their political party.”
In a saloon in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1832, Jackson’s Democratic Party held one of the country’s first national conventions (the first such convention had been held the previous year-in the same saloon-by the Anti-Masonic Party). The Democrats nominated Jackson as their presidential candidate and Martin Van Buren as his running mate and drafted a party platform (see political convention). It was assumed that open and public conventions would be more democratic, but they soon came under the control of small groups of state and local party leaders, who handpicked many of the delegates. The conventions were often tense affairs, and sometimes multiple ballots were needed to overcome party divisions-particularly at conventions of the Democratic Party, which required its presidential and vice presidential nominees to secure the support of two-thirds of the delegates (a rule that was abolished in 1936).
By 1824 18 of the 24 states had provided that the presidential electors were to be chosen by the people, not as formerly by the state legislatures.-History of American Education, 111
In retrospect, it would seem that the caucus method was a good one, but disappointed aspirants called it King Caucus and whipped up popular resistance to it. … It was not a bad system if one can judge by the men nominated-much better than the record set by most conventions during the rest of the [19th] century. The caucus was opposed on the ground that the legislative branch should not choose the executive.-Leland Baldwin, Reframing the Constitution, 1972, pages 69 & 86
@@BS-vx8dg I do have kids (hence the unsuccessful school board run as I was very concerned about the direction the school division was taking towards my kids’ school, which they wound up doing what I wanted them to do anyways). I’d like to think that it’s because of me they’re interested in politics now (at least in voting and have preferred parties based on platforms), something I wish more kids their age (early 20s) did.
Are we all stupid? Is our government going to continue to mock us, make fools of us?
If you think Khalistan's want a separate nation for Sikhs then remember they did not included the most important religious place khartarur sahib gurudwara in that map.
I was feeling bad previously that you didn't provide an opinion on this matter and seeing it was most honest opinion without hiding details and facts which was done by our Indian media and global media too as per there convenience.
But one thing I was noticing that you mentioned that breaking diplomatic ties was a mistake I think because what I know first step was taken by Canadian foreign minister by removing our top diplomat there in Canada which created chain of events leading to this breakout with Canada somehow
As an Indo-Canadian, I'm sorry to say that I just want to leave Canada unless things get better with India. Because after all, I'm Indian first, only then I became a naturalized citizen of Canada. So if Canada can't get their act together, I will never be able to go visit my folks back home. Sadly true! Long-term, if this is not fixed, I'd want to go back to India no matter how much I love being in Canada.
As a Canadian, leave. It's not gonna get better any time soon, take your moment and get out while you can. They're already denying Canadian passports en masse regardless of origin point
Never give up like this unless you have better things to do back home.

The love and respect i have seen for sikhs in India just makes me think how political parties just can't withstand peace.

Punjabis are our people, they have always been, there's no doubting there love for there own homeland i.e, India.
If Canada is so great when it comes to multiculturalism then can we talk about the situation with Afro-Canadians? Would love to have the talk about how black canadians seem to be insulated to this great, multiculturalism thats being spoken of.

I'm three-fourths into this, and I lean toward understanding India's alleged actions as necessary, given a soft-on-terrorism trend in Canadian justice and culture. Still, people should proceed rationally in their next steps on how they respond to these developments.
I do think J.J. McCullough is coming at this from a certain perspective - more not with the Khalistani movement, though that's understandable.
He could be quite correct on his assessment, though, and it was definitely an informative video.
