Recent Allegations Made Against India by the United States and Canada
The U.S. and Canada accuse India of covert operations targeting individuals designated as terrorists.
India strongly denies the allegations, emphasizing its commitment to the rule of law.
The onus is on the U.S. and Canada to provide evidence of any official Indian involvement.
Critics note the U.S. has a history of covert operations globally, questioning the consistency of its claims against India.
The motivations behind the allegations may relate to India’s growing diaspora engagement and domestic political factors in the West.
Need for Mutual Recognition of Concerns and Priorities
The situation reflects a lack of sensitivity from the West regarding India's security concerns, especially threats and violence.
Ongoing debates in the West about free speech often overlook the implications of hate speech directed at India.
Indian diplomatic missions have faced attacks from Khalistan supporters, often justified as free speech.
The Indian diaspora contributes positively to Western societies but also poses challenges for conflict.
A strong partnership between India and the West is vital for promoting democracy and progress, requiring mutual understanding of each other's concerns and priorities.
