In September 2023, Canada's prime minister Justin Trudeau levied heavy accusations against the government of India. During his address, he alleged that an Indian government agent was involved in the assassination of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil.
The target, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, was not chosen randomly: He had long been active in the Khalistan movement in Canada, which advocates for the establishment of Khalistan; a state for Sikhs to be carved out of India's Punjab region. Accusations similar to those made by Trudeau were eventually made in the US as well, after an indictment accused an Indian agent of plotting to assassinate another prominent Sikh separatist in New York. This caused a severe diplomatic crisis between India and Canada, and also damaged US-Indian relations.
In this video, we are taking a closer look at what is happening between India and the West and the issue of Khalistani/Sikh separatism. Why do some Sikhs seek to establish a separatist state in Punjab, especially among the diaspora? And how will this impact the partnership between India and the West?

its majority muslim and "non-hindu" pakistan while india became a majority hindu nation with a large minority of muslims
Why did you forget about government sponsored 1984 riots?
Soon East Punjab became khalistan and India cut off from illegally and forcefully Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir and Kashmir merged with Pakistan and Kashmir issue solved forever. After that Pakistan and India and khalistan live together with peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️ as USA and Canada and Mexico live together with peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️

Last i checked Jatt was a caste, not an ethnicity. Punjabi is an ethnicity. Infact, dare i say Punjabis (Sikh and Muslim especially) are the most casteist people in the Subcontinent. Punjabi songs are just Jatt this Jatt that, while your own lower caste Sikhs of Punjab are treated like sh!t by the landlord castes. Pure Punjabi caste backwardness can be seen in Pakistan, where Islam mixed with Punjabi culture to create such an inward and insular culture that half the marriages in Pak Punjab are cousin marriages. Wanting to marry within your ethnic group is one thing and wanting someone from your caste, tribe, village and preferably extended family is a whole different level of casteist. Not to mention, Sikhs have a Supremacist and entitled attitude towards Hindus in general. Waiting for the Sikh apologists to come make a clown of themselves 🤡🤡🤡

An active political movement for separation, in general, is a liability. Canada being a rich nation (at least it has stronger currency than Indian rupee) gives purchasing power to subversive actors to finance destabilizing activities in India.
That is the whole issue. White canadians dont care . They are ignorant of the fact that Khalistani mafias and extremists are taking Canada as hostage politically and socially.
Canadians are enjoying the demise of their own nation.

false sikhs are only 2% of canadian population
Hell yeah, another Politics With Paint video!
I remember hearing that the land the Sikhs claim includes areas where Sikhs only make up like 2% of the population and doesn’t include the capital of the Sikh empire which is in what is now Pakistan which really makes you think
they only make up 2% because indira gandhi sent thousands of hindus to live in those claimed areas so she could control the sikhs... justice for sikhs
I don't support the movement but that is only very extreme groups. Most Sikhs want to stay in india, a small state or live in diaspora.
@@EkamjeetS I see
@@EkamjeetS The Khalistan movement doesnt exist in India anymore and currently survives as a project of the Pak ISI
2% in the worlds most populated county is a lot still, also 99.99% Sikhs that were living in Lahore the previous capital were forced to migrate in 1947, barely less than 10,000 Sikhs live in Pakistan which is already one of the more populated countries in the world
I’m from America. And we literally do not care about this Khalistan issue. It’s not on the radar here. This is purely a Canadian Justin Trudeau thing.
Ok…
>I am American
>I don't care
Sounds about right.
Your government definitely has a stake in India staying whole to counter China. The US is even stepping away from Pakistan to support India (as long as it stays democracic
I am also america and I say speak for your fucking self. Who tf are you speaking for all Americans. I care about this problem immensely because as an American freedom of religion is literally one of the hallmarks of the nation. If India thinks they can just send spy’s to assassinate religious leaders and also oppress a religious minority ON AMERICAN SOIL. Hell fucking no. That makes america look weak and hypocritical. Idk what you’re smoking but I’m not ok with that at all and neither should any proud American with an ounce of common sense. Your comment makes Americans sound ignorant as fuck. what a terrible take.
Yes because Khalistani Gangs are having a great time in Canada selling drugs with this money they are funding Khalistan and Trudeau elections aswell
Yeah, but most Americans don't really care about anything outside of the US.
Before the September 11, the bombing of Air India Flight 182 in 1985 was one of the deadliest single acts of aviation terrorism in history which left 329 dead (mostly Canadians). The suspects were individuals associated with Sikh separatist groups in Canada. To think they are harmless would be a mistake.
As far as India is concerned, Canada is an insignificant country
Yep. India is 5th biggest export destination for Canada.
Canada is 22nd biggest export destination for India.
@user-xw3vi4nk2y India canada trade is 8.4 billion $ and Indian government give subsidy on fertilizer to farmers is 21 billion $. So you can understand how much trade with Canada affect India. 😂😂😂😂
As a sikh living in Australia, this so called khalistan movement is just so radical. Being born in India and travelled to the most of the country, i have so many memories attached with India. For religious extremists and goons, why would i give up on a country that i have lived in. Sikh people have so many sikh temples (called Gurudwaras) , in other Indian states like in Bihar(Patna), Maharashtra (Nanded), Karnataka (Bidar), and even in today's state of Delhi, Haryana, Himachal, which were once part of Punjab. And hypothetically speaking, even if these extremist get Khalistan, they ain't getting Pakistan Punjab or even Delhi, for an instance. And if hypothetically Khalistan is ever made, why would Indians keep Gurudwaras in other Indian states ? Because this would give Indians legitimate right to demolish such religious structures, and technically they won't be wrong. And if by any chance, so called Khalistani state citizens ask for Pakistan punjab as part of Khalistan, why would Pakistan keep Gurudwara in kartarpur district, which is one of the sacred pilgrimage sites of sikhism. And even, Khalistan formation , would lead to violent clashes abroad, literally becoming a nightmare for the west. Khalistan was once funded by western powers and is still funded by the US, Canada in particular, a fact well known in sikh community and India obviously, the west will ultimately end up regretting it, just like the US now regrets Taliban. The ideology of Khalistan is as backward as extremist organization. World is better off without another extremist state. It's time, we include extreme religion as one of the most pressing reasons that could be responsible for civilisational extinction.
You're over thinking this .....let them stay in Canada as Canadian Khalistani citizens. THEY ARE NOTHING TO DO WITH INDIA, EXCEPT BEING TERRORISTS
Haryana and Himachal are different from Punjab.....
How the fuck can you talk about Khalistan without talking about Pakistan
Rich Sikhs leave india not the poor ones.
In punjab 80% land is owned by 20% people. Who can afford the foreign education and living.
Punjab is in shambles due to drugs, and bad farming practices like over farming, farming only water intensive crops which have deteriorated the soils fertility.
What do you mean? Whole south-asia produces rice. The most water-intensive crop.
Whole ('majority) south asia has ground water
Not punjab@ivannaharmoni
Growing rice in Punjab takes up four times the water it takes to grow the same amount of rice in Bengal and twice the amount it takes to grow the same amount of rice in Bihar. That's why they're focused on MSP for these crops because they have developed infrastructure for specific crops and don't want to shift. In short, they're in the comfort zone and want short term benefits instead of moving to other more sustainable crops.
@@amarpreetsingh305 they are khatri sikhs...not pendu jatts.

As an Indian Punjabi (Half Hindu-Half Sikh)
It makes me happy the western countries chose to keep the garbage we did not want to keep, It also makes me sad that the North American governments are now voicing the opinions of terroirists while conveniently compromising the safety of their own people.
It's on the people of Cannada, USA and UK to curb the actions of their governments. Good luck with that 🤞🤞
Another thing to keep in mind, those Farmer riots in India are strictly Khalistani revolts disguised as a plea of poor farmers. Punjabi landowning farmers are anything but poor, those farm laws must be reinstated for betterment of our population.

Another good video as usual
i live in australia and went to Vancouver in 2019 and it shocked me how there are so many indians in Canada. australia also has lots of indians but they are from a different regions and have higher levels of behavior and most do not wear the headgear. The ones in Canada mostly wear the head gear and have beards. The taxi I took after landing was an indian and for most of the trip had the indian radio channel on on loud volume. Another female taxi driver who drove me had no sense of duty and during the ride was on call the entire time speaking loudly in their language.
It's shocking to us too when we come to know that there are hundreds of millions of European migrants living in other continents and other people's lands.
Why is that Europeans are so much into migration??
South America, hundreds of millions of European migrants.
North America, hundreds of millions of European migrants.
Australia, tens of millions of European migrants.
Africa, tens of millions of European migrants.
South East Asia, hundreds of thousands of European migrants.

We have also read in history that most of these European migrants subscribe to extremist ideologies and have engaged in despicable kinds of violence.

It's par for the course for separatists in multiethnic countries to head over to the West and for the West to shelter them on Freedom of Speech grounds. The US does this both with its enemies like China (Tibetans and Uyghurs) as well as nominal allies like Turkey (Kurds).
The geopolitical aim of course is to leverage these separatists in order to pressure the home country on various issues (for India, it would be US & EU displeasure with India's ties to Russia).
India will have to deal with this diplomatically because they really can't kill their way out of this problem & the US + West will never extradite the Sikh separatists.
"Unknown gunmen" probably arent authorised to operate on US soil. Yet.
It makes me happy that at least in India people are aware of these things (as in America and Europe this is seen as conspiracy theories).
Diplomacy really hasn't been Indias strongest suit, to be honest. Had diplomacy been practised (by Indira Gandhi) in the early 70s (granting or negotiating state autonomy to those requesting it rather than rejecting it outright and engaging in a bloody battle with those requesting it) when seccesionism was a mere concept at its infancy, then the full blown seperatist movement we see today wouldn't have happened. Cause and affect, one reaps what one sows.

believe me... appeasement politics goes a long way
and there is one more issue that these Sikh separatists who want Punjab, don't understand. Punjab has 50% non-Sikh population. and in urban cities, non- Sikh are majority, almost a 60 -40 divide. which will keep on growing, so they are asking separation for a state that don't even have same ideology as them. not to mention, in rural areas, difference between Sikh and Hindus are blurry at best.
Punjab is 60% Sikh.

This doesn't really seem to be a Western issue, just a Canadian one. Most Europeans probably don't even know about this. I mean, I have lived in Europe my entire life, and this is the first time I have heard about this. In fact, I have met a lot of Indians, many of them Sikhs, who live and work here, and I never heard them mention it either, even when we talked about politics.
It's not even a Canadian issue. It's a Trudeau issue
No. Canada, US and Germany are all in it.
UK and Australia are out of it because India has more leverage over them these days.
@@user-xw3vi4nk2y I have lived in both Germany and the USA, and, as I have said before, I have literally never, not a *single* time, seen this issue pop up in any major news cycle, national political debate, or anything of any note like that.
Even the changing of the M&M mascot created a larger news cycle and spurred a bigger public debate than this issue ever has.
@@petrsalavec6541 you're just talking about the populations and the local media. While, I meant the agencies and foreign ministeries.
Everytime the west is in a difficult negotiation with India these people crawl out like clockwork and start attacking Indian embassies. While the local law enforcement just stands by twiddling their thumbs.
This latest flare up of attacks started when west was trying to pressure India to work against Russia. There have been about 10 attacks on Indian embassies and consulates with zero suspects apprehended. In canada even the Indian ambassador was directly attacked, and guess what... no arrests.
@@user-xw3vi4nk2y No offense, but I think you are looking too much into it. Consulates and embassies get vandalized and attacked all the time. And doubly so when it comes to powerful and influential countries like India.
On the failure to apprehend the suspects, you know what they say - never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence. Western law enforcement is notoriously inept and toothless these days. And they are *EXTREMELY* inept and toothless regarding crimes committed by a certain "community." For example, in the UK, they literally allowed a r**e gang of that "community" to operate for years because they were afraid of being called racist.
Besides, it doesn't make much sense to me - why would Western governments orchestrate something like that on purpose? It's not like a few graffiti on a wall of some consulate or some people protesting in front of it is going to scare the Indian government lmao. If anything, it will make them mad and less willing to negotiate.
TL;DR - This sounds like the classic 21st-century story of Western governments being so incompetent that their ineptitude starts to look like a conspiracy. Which is a story that is as common as the sunrise these days.
Thx u covere for you .
Its better to West to isolate itself more. After Ukrainian, Israel there null suppor for weatern rule based system im global south.
This thing will only strengthen BRICS and decrease influence of G7 which was trying to woo india.
I am just not a big fan of separatism because of religious identity. Something that in one generation can completely change. Look at how quickly religious division is becoming unimportant in Northern Ireland. The borders of Punjabi was also very unnaturally drawn so Sikhs could have a majority. India assassinating a Canadian citizen was really dumb. But I don’t think most westerners could really care about Sikh separatism. Tibet, East Turkistan and Kurdistan have way more valid reasons to separate.
Don’t forget Israel which the west help create
@@assassincreed1238 ....what did the Israelis separate from
They are just funded militants group by Pakistan and China...The real issue is Uyghur muslims which are killed and tortured in concentration camps....In WW2 it was said it would never ever again....But what now? What would happen to Xinjiang people?...😢
Trudeau hasn't given any evidence to back up his 'credible allegations' against India over the murder of Nijjar who most likely died of gang wars which are rampant within the Sikh community of Canada. So believing in this narrative that India assassinated Nijjar is BS.
Esp. Kurdistan. They were wronged by the entire world.

Can you use the official flag of India and their would not be any khalistan ever in India the Sikh community is one of the respected and honoured by their bravery in army and charity work and their are 2 special regiment for them from British era , this khalistan issue has emerged due to Canada people and some foreign influence.

canda told USA , UK, Australia and new zealand but no one agreed to raise a question on india ..after the assassination of khalistani terrorist.... why canada never talked about the murder of balochi female activist who was killed in canada itself ??
This analysis is almost 100% accurate. Great job. Your sources are factual. Because many distort the story as usual toward on or the other side based on where there allegiance or hate is directed towards.
I think the reason you gave of why Trudeau basically blurted out this accusation, because possibly the media caught wind of it, makes a lot of sense.
(Not a Trudeau fan) But something I find extremely ironic is that so many Canadians complain about everything Trudeau does, damned if he does, damned if he doesn't. His government is going through a public inquiry because of Chinese election interference and quite literally everyone was angry at this, especially because they had known about it and were not transparent or seemed to have taken any action. But in 2022 Global News broke a story on it and then it was hellfire, which could explain his behaviour with India.
However, even when he made this accusation, and later it was corroborated with US intelligence, Canadians were complaining about him for disturbing our relationship with India, blah blah blah. All of the complaints about foreign interference in our country were suddenly forgotten when he actually decided to take a stand against it for once 😂
west india relationship will end like china weat relationship. It is how west treats its allies like kurds who were not aligned with a certain Nato partner.

Without the Sikhs/Pubjabs, India would be nothing, merily Indian Culture is Sikhisized already, at least according to foreign stereotypes
Clearly you have zero knowledge about india then
Well we love sikhs so we dont care
Sikh culture is Indian culture
While this is an incredibly illiterate comment, Sikh culture is Indian culture anyway so I guess it doesnt matter
If you think Indian culture is nothing without Sikhs, you obviously don't know anything about the diversity of India. The sheer amount of languages, food, culture, religions, landscapes in India. Punjab is an integral part of India no doubt. But India is much more than just Punjab. Punjab is just as special as any other state in India. I wouldn't put it above any other state for me all are equally important.
Marathas,Tamils,Rajputs,Telugu,Malyalis,Nagas,Odiya,Bengali,Kannadiga and 56 others ethnicities had a stroke reading this and f*cking died.
every state in india cant be given new country status.we have to live together to develop together.
even south will demand another country and without unity like pakistan and bangaldesh development will be lagging behind.
unity is strength and power. india has moved on a lot since independence and everyone should grow together .no one is more superior to others,every finger of hand is different in size ,and every part of india is important helping and growing.

This is an external headache for India. There is no division within the borders regarding Khalistan, there is a minute number of Khalistani's within India. The matter is quite settled in India. Even within the west, the support is purely symbolic and isn't policy. Canada may take it a step further but it still wouldn't relate to concrete policy changes regarding India.
