Unraveling India's Assassination Plots: Demanding Transparency and Asserting Sovereignty

The recent allegations of India's involvement in assassination plots against Sikh separatists in the US and Canada have raised questions about the motives behind these actions. While Sikh separatism has largely faded in India, the Modi government sees Sikhs as a potential obstacle to its Hindu nationalist agenda. By invoking the history of Sikh secessionism, the government aims to delegitimize Sikh opposition to its policies. However, the alleged assassination attempts have caused international backlash and damaged India's relations with Western security agencies. The long-term implications of targeting the Sikh minority for political gains remain a concern, as Hindu nationalists seek to consolidate power and marginalize dissenting voices.
