The reason is diversity and lack of unity. There is no unity among us and there will never be one. Frankly, India is a divided country and there will always be someone provoking the other one. South Indians easily gets triggered of things said by North Indians and vice versa. Its not that we (South Indian) hate them (North Indian), its just that we hate them for not understanding us and embracing us for who we are.
The diaspora is deeply divided by caste, religion, and language. That's the only reason I could think of.
Well according to JT, the angst is not about a foreigner killed on canadian soil, but a CANADIAN CITIZEN killed on canadian soil.
You seem more worried about how India is looking in front of the world than with finding the truth about the allegations.
Punjabis are from North and I am Tamil from South. I seriously don't know why they want a separate nation. But, I am also pretty sure the majority Sikhs don't want it and don't support it.
Not really. I am irritated that people of my own diaspora work tirelessly to screw their origin country and in process themself up royally. They go beyond any reasonable limit. To know this you have to live the life of an Indian immigrant or know it intimately. It shows everywhere. I can further elaborate but then I will be going in the realm of "India" which is not really suitable to this board and this threads. God knows I have strayed enough from the topic of this entire forum.
Its a topic in itself. The quickest way is : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khalistan_movement . There are too many details to fit. Too many angles. Too many variables. I cannt vouch for the accuracy of a wikipedia article but I think that is the most accessible one.
Oh I do. Thing is diaspora in itself will not forget me because it is all around me. In my workplace everywhere.
Yeah I know the soverignity angle. I will not belabour about how everyone does it. Just that, its an investigation incomplete. His own minister told that he went public because he had to pre-empt the news papers. Which raises doubt on how much is the evidence actually and what is his motivation.
I know. I feel the same. The unreasonable self-hate is definitely hard to deal with. People here talk about Indian discrimination/lawlessness as if any other nationality or even Canadians don't do it. I do see some of us definitely fucked up and we all will have to deal with the consequences by association. I wanted to leave this forum a while back, but I think we've a moral duty to support other immigrants who would otherwise be shamed into existence by some people here.
We are not worried about how we look tbh - I'm fine with someone calling me a squatter, smelly, etc. We are worried about the impact of poor generalizations on people like us who are doing everything right and will be put in the way of hate for absolutely no reason.
Bad time to be Indian, that's for sure. India had always been insulated from the racism against enemies of the collective West (e.g. Russia, China) but looks like you guys are on the leaderboard. Better to embrace the hate than cower. After all, the Chinese owns most of the real estate in Canada and Russians don't seem to be doing too bad in places like Dubai or Turkey.
I don't understand why India thinks it's a winning move to stop issuing visas to Canadians. The overwhelming majority of those applying will be naturalised indian-canadians.
