The Sikh Distraction and India
Trudeau's Great Gamble
The Canadian government has drawn India’s ire. On September 18th, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau publicly alleged that that the Indian government murdered a Sikh militant, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, in British Columbia.
The results of the allegations have been swift. Canada’s High Commissioner to India was expelled. Canada banished Indian diplomats. India responded to Prime Minister Trudeau with the following missive.
It would not surprise me if India were behind Nijjar’s death. Countries carry out extrajudicial killings with regularity, including the United States, which has assassinated its own citizens. Israel is particularly notorious for this, having killed several Palestinian operatives in foreign lands.
However, whether India truly killed Nijjar is irrelevant. The real reason that Canada is destroying its relationship with India is simple: the BRICS. India is getting too close to the West’s rivals, China and Russia — and such alliances can threaten American hegemony worldwide.
In other words, Nijjar is being used as a wedge issue to warn India: play ball, or else.
According to Reuters, Canada worked “very closely” with U.S. intelligence to investigate Nijjar’s killing. Essentially, this means that Washington gave its blessing for Trudeau to allege Indian government involvement. Trudeau even confirmed this to the press.
This is not a light issue: Canada has 1.9 million Indians (5% of the population), the vast majority of whom are not Sikh. Trudeau could lose Indo-Canadians’ political support by alienating India. Of course, he has no choice; when the CIA comes knocking, Canada must obey without question.
India, Russia, and China are founding members of the BRICS alliance, which poses a real threat to American dominance. India and Russia have good relations, and Indian Prime Minister Modi has taken a neutral stance on Putin’s conflict with Ukraine. Although China’s dealings with India have been tense, the two nations have started to develop stronger ties (despite Western media claims to the contrary). As I have mentioned before, the BRICS are trying to challenge the U.S. dollar in global trade.
The Trudeau-India-Nijjar scandal all comes down to geopolitics and economics, with Sikh separatists caught in the middle. It will be fascinating to see how this plays out. Clearly, Canada is the decoy being sent out into a chaotic battlefield — and Canadians do not seem to understand this.
Nice post. China and India have traditionally been rivals, but India would be very smart to run as fast as possible from the United States and embrace China even at the cost of its pride. Still, though, my issue with the BRICS discussion is that it seems like a feint and a scam by our globalist overlords above the level of the nation state.
