That’s what most foreigners and even a lot of Indians fail to realize. Modi has no personal ambitions or agendas. He is just a very dumb puppet, an empty suit. That’s not an exaggeration based on political hate. RSS upper echelon is made up of Brahmins and its leader is always a Brahmin. Through their vast caste network, they hold leadership positions in all of India’s Institutions. It's not a conspiracy but actual facts published by the census on the caste of Indians in Indian govt institutions. But because they are only a small percentage of the population, they control the vast majority of the population using religion, as Brahmins are the uppermost caste, the priestly caste who created caste in the first place. They have managed to convince people from the mid-level castes and lower castes to work against their own interests, using religion. So if the Modi brand gets tainted or unpopular, RSS will simply replace him with another puppet.

UP is also known on Indian Reddit as Florida of India.)

At the most recent G20, Modi criticized Trudeau for not banning Sikh Nationalist groups in Canada. Trudeau responded by saying "Canada does not ban political parties." For those who aren't aware, Canada has the largest Sikh population outside of India. Currently there are 780, 000 Sikhs in Canada, making up 2% of the Canadian population. The Sikhs have been and currently remain a persecuted minority in India both by Hindus and Muslims. That being said, Sikh nationalists blew up an Air India airliner in 1985 resulting in the deaths of 329 people. Still the largest terrorist attack in Canadian history.

While the plane bombing was horrible and inexcusable, i feel its important to point out that only a year before 7000-20000 sikhs were massacred in india. IMO only mentioning sikh nationalist killings kinda makes them seem like instigators/more violent than hindu nationalists when its not really true

[@Tera_Baap_Ka_Baap_Ka_Baap]

No Sikhs did NOT blowup the plane it was actually the INDIAN GOVERNMENT. Everyone always knew the Indian government did these type tactics from the past, when the Indian Government did the same thing before when they 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 so let’s be clear.

This whole incident is a wild call-back to the '80s. The Khalistan movement back then blew up an airliner near Ireland, killing hundreds of people. Then Sikh militants occupied the Golden Temple in Amritsar, until Prime Minister Indira Gandhi sent in special forces, resulting in a brutal massacre. In retaliation, Gandhi's own Sikh bodyguards then assassinated her, prompting nationwide mob violence and pogroms against Sikhs. Hope we're not returning to those days again.

I also blame India, or at least stochastic terrorism fueled by the BJP, mostly because I have close to first hand knowledge about how the Hindu views Sikh activism. During the farmers' march back in 2021, my Hindu nationalist dad was watching videos claiming that the farmers who got in a scuffle with police near the Red Fort were Khalistani spies/agents, and my dad repeated the claims 100% seriously. It doesn't take much to convince a Hindu nationalist to murder a "Khalistani rebel".

As a leftist sikh(socially sikh, but atheist) i despise relegious nationalism, so, i don't support khalistan but what Canada did was kinda fair, because what India did was obviously wrong. Even if I don't support khalistan, i clearly get why they want it, because you guys have no idea what Indian government has done to sikhs in the previous century, and these people are really scarred but it also kinda caused them to be extremists too. Indian government has littrally committed genocide against civilian sikhs in the past. And did even worse to those rural communities who fought for khalistan. There are really disturbing things in this. These Canadian sikh communities are mostly descendants of those same traumatized families. But still i am full in support of Indian constitutional values(they are very secular and Progressive). I don't like Indian goverment because you know exactly why. But i think Indians need to stick together as just people(not as relegion or some nation), i think Indians need each other more then anything. Most sikhs ofcourse don't have opinions like i do, there like some 10~20% are pro India, mostly urban sikhs. 20~30 pro khalistani, and others are distributed inbetween. So basically this issue is even more complicated then Kashmiri issue.

I heard the original movement was fairly militant, though considering the historical precedent they have, it isn't too surprising.

But saying they are proud is too far fetched. The average opinion of sikhs i know, is Neutral about Indian Republic, skeptical of Indian Government, Sympathetic to khalistani cause but not actually supportive to khalistan. But Significant portion are on radical side outright pro khalistani and another significant portion (not so caring of politics) are pro India.

[@Jobanuwu]

@@MrGksarathy About sikh militancy, if carrying lethal weapons is called militancy, then all gun owners in America are militants. Sikhs did so as sikh relegion teaches them to be armed and be ready to fight. Also that's a false narrative, that it started as militant struggle, it was mostly civilians struggle for Autonomy until Operation Bluestar (Indian army attacked Golden Temple Unprovoked), after that the real sikh militancy began. Even the top Pro Khalistani figure Bhindrawala said, (roughly) "we want our demands met, otherwise we want Khalistan." "We are not demanding khalistan, if they want to give us, will take it". Sikhs were arming themselves for long but it wasn't militant until BlueStar. But yes there were many smaller violent incidents though. Sikhs had a demand of a autonomous state, and they wanted relegion based administration and laws but centre imposed thier will and repeatedly rejected thier proposals, even when majority of sikhs were in Support of that. And meanwhile there were many incidents of Indian government getting people killed or jailed on false charges. The only major one before her death i know of is Operation Bluestar massacre where civilians got killed by Indiscriminate army firing. Though i don't support relegion based administration and laws, but forcing secularism made the situation worse. Indian government should had first instilled secular values in Punjab, and not just blatantly enforce them on very religious people. Also it wasn't that Indian Government was some sort of libral progressive force, It basically abused its power to devide people communally. Indian government was indeed very authoritarian and never tried to reach across the isle. If they were in good faith, they would have never massacred sikhs in the first place.

1. Canada absolutely has the means to seek reparations for this disrespect. If not through it’s own power, than through her boyfriend the United States 2. There is no need to isolate India as a whole, as we’ve isolated Russia or Iran. The assassination is the will of the current ruling party in India led by Modi, they could be undermined/manipulated by America if necessary. 3. It definitely isn’t necessary for Canada to retaliate in such a severe manner as those who claim this as an “act of war” would like to believe. This is one assassination on a Canadian radical that is considered a terrorist by India and a benign tumor to Canada. The disrespect shown here can be resolved behind closed doors

You should stop speaking for Sikhs when you are not Sikh. Sikhs are definitely persecuted in other parts of India, and the overall Indian country.

The Indian overall society which is dominated by Hindu nationalism, is not reflective nor representing Sikhs in any way. Which is one of the many reasons Khalistan is appealing to Sikhs.

Let's see if the BJP-RSS I.T wing trolls stumble into this clip. If they do find this, it's going to be hilarious & embarrassing as an Indian. By the way, just want to let folks here know that BJP doesn't rule any South Indian state. And South Indian states are the most developed in the country. So please don't mistake us for them. (If South India was an independent nation or the states' separate countries, we would be considered almost as developed as EU. Of course, we still have some more road ahead of us but we are definitely way ahead of the rest of the country.) By the way, Modi is not like Putin or Erdoğan (or even trump) or any other dictators in the world. He is just a puppet of the Hindu nationalist organization RSS (Rashtriya Swayam Sangh, the mothership of BJP. That’s what most foreigners and even a lot of Indians fail to realize. Modi has no personal ambitions or agendas. He is just a very dumb puppet, an empty suit. That’s not an exaggeration based on political hate. RSS upper echelon is made up of Brahmins and its leader is always a Brahmin. Through their vast caste network, they hold leadership positions in all of India’s Institutions. It's not a conspiracy but actual facts published by the census on the caste of Indians in Indian govt institutions. But because they are only a small percentage of the population, they control the vast majority of the population using religion, as Brahmins are the uppermost caste, the priestly caste who created caste in the first place. They have managed to convince people from the mid-level castes and lower castes to work against their own interests, using religion. So if the Modi brand gets tainted or unpopular, RSS will simply replace him with another puppet.

Modi is not an empty puppet of the RSS, IMO, but is a more Reagenesque coordinator of all elements of the Hindutva movement. He pushes the concrete policy goals, and the others fall under his banner. Also, at least in the case of Tamil Nadu, the DMK and ADMK both suck and ape the aesthetics of Marxism-Leninism while being nothing but an anti-Brahmin party who want to redistribute the wealth to their castes. I'd say only Kerala has any right to boast about their human development indices, and they're the only ones ruled by an actual Communist party, even if said party is too wedded to the ghost of the Soviet Union. Finally, this sort of anti-Brahminism is just braindead conspiracism that actively harms progressive resistance to the Hindu nationalists, and it's also not particularly based in reality, at least not as much. Even during the colonial era, at least in Tamil Nadu, I read that the percentage of land owned by Brahmins was about equal to that owned by Devars, at least in the 20th century. Also, Adityanath cannot replace Modi as PM because he really is like the Indian De Santis in every way.
