Hi does anyone know if I can file for asylum or h&c under the basis of oppression from the hindu nationalists/gujaratis in my native Punjab?
 
From https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/refugees/protection.html

Claiming asylum means asking Canada for protection because it’s not safe for you in your own country. Asylum is another word for protection and “claiming asylum” means asking for refugee protection.

You may be able to ask for refugee protection if you cannot return to your home country due to

  • a well-founded fear of persecution
  • a danger of torture
  • a risk to your life
  • a risk of cruel and unusual treatment or punishment
