[@gomathakamadhenu1607]

I got this as a forward and found it simply brilliant. Thought provoking, and sound. We should implement it immediately. Read on. A Perspective ....Worth Implementing Our Media & Govt and all of us Indians should not be calling these arsonists & terrorists attacking our Embassies and Consulates in US/UK/Canada and elsewhere, as 'Khalistanis' First of all.... There is nothing called Khalistan!! Secondly Most, if not all of them, are citizens of the US, Canada and UK. Many even born there. We should be referring to them by their nationality: American/Canadian (or whatever) citizens are attacking our missions The fact that they are Sikhs is incidental. Hence it's the problem of those countries !!! In case the citizens of US/UK citizens want Khalistan, the heads and parliaments of those countries should facilitate the issue. So, we can request Joe Biden to give it to them. Likewise Trudeau and his cabinet! The word Khalistan should be removed from our official vocabulary -- If any Indian wants anything fairly from our N nation they should come here and fight for it legitimately and democratically. Why give any legitimacy to these lackeys of ISI & CHINA, and other such separatist & terrorist supporting entities? We must just refer to them as separatists /terrorists. Make it a point to emphasize that they are Canadian/ American citizens, or whichever country they hail from! So, in the recent case we should refer to the matter as Canadian terrorists attacking Indian mission/ diplomats in Canada! Let Canada put it on record as to why their citizens are attacking Indians, Indian missions and Indian properties. Time to put the record straight, and go for the jugular.

[@johndoe-vc1we]

Do not refer to them as separatists or terrorists but as organised crime which is what they really are. Khalistan is a smoke screen to hide this reality

[@dhananjaytiwary4725]

Brilliant demand

[@ashutosh94073277]

Good suggestion. But at the same time diplomatic relations are multi-faceted. Government of India does not want the effect of this incident spoil other missions with Canada. Which is evident with stopping of trade talks and expelling of diplomats already between the two countries. India wants to keep trying to reap maximum mutual benefits still. This action of Nijjar killing has been termed to be as politically driven more, as it is being speculated to favor Trudeau's Party.

How has it affected relationships as our trade with China has increased many fold?

[@Artrader_em8ko]

India n China has signed free n preferential trade agreements in 1975. As China became a manufacturing hub over the last few decades, their products became much cheaper than Indian or any other country’s companies could manufacture. And because we have signed free trade agreements, their goods flow into our country! Current Indian government has started made in India initiative to counter it n also not given Chinese companies like BYD permission to invest in India’s car manufacturing sector. It is hard to compete with China as in the last few decades Chinese government took many measures which they are benefiting today which our government had not taken then. These policies start showing benefits after a while as ground work n implementation takes a long time.
