canada's allegations as ridiculous. india had earlier retaliated by issuing a travel warning for what it calls, growing anti india activities in canada. it also stopped issuing visas to canadian citizens. this latest expulsion of more than 40 diplomats. would it be a major escalation in the stand off? many in canada as large see could community have voice supports for a true don't taking a tough stance against india. but with the anger are also fears over safety. dw spoke to 6 in toronto. we can see if in this country 1000 our families are safe. so that's place all of this moving in the day of breath, best for this country to because of safe for oversight. community for the countries can survive without each other, like not even india and not even canada. so i guess everything's going to be good. so right now,

or what indian calmer did to the how deep signature it's really like attracting for us to stick leaders in the community like the, the, or likes care. right. no indian government might hire someone to give you right. the more 6 live in canada than anywhere in the world outside the northern indian state of punjab. 770000 strong. a small handful of the community supports a movement for an independent state of collis. done, carved out from india. the vast majority of the diaspora rejects the movement. the diplomatic fall out has many canadian seeks far more worried about the impact it will have for them in canada and over in south asia. the same goes 6 in punjab are likewise worried about the effect. this will have on them as dw d o bot reports anger on the streets of ribs or in north

western india. these activists of protesting the king all 6 separate this leader of deep signature. they see the indian government part of the murder in canada and raised prime minister to for exposing the legend enrollment. they denied such claims for the activists in assist the sick leader and was assassinated . the organize it off. the broadcast belongs to a group pushing for a separate sick homeland, also known as college stone. he sees the beginning of the sick leader in canada, really have repercussions of the thing that gives us as soon as this is no use explanation of how deep signature alone, one quarter century he's assassination. the indian state is in stealing caea into the minds of the younger generation that supports the close of cal us then. then
7:21 pm
there is a separate that's explained like got the heck of pop him out into unable to get away from the demonstration in the city sent a few of you to share the sentiment to the majority. do not support the idea of a separate 16 or college son who causes nobody, demands callous. then people just want good jobs, a better life and a good system. people are happy yet. but pensions for the killings are being felt composite ideas of how much so many young people are hoping to go to canada to book the come to courting centers like this one to improve good english. but the friction between india and canada has left some anxious about the future. okay, get on a lot of uses. if canada stopped giving visas to indian students will have to start from scratch. we've made investments and also paid fees for education. so he much
7:22 pm
has been invested in everything will be ruined, and we'll have to start all over again because it wasn't for the data. and did our audit jenny and just as bookseller informant called us on support done because i've seen explains, she feels the growing get tension in india and wants to separate as a could be used to discriminate against the group. she sees. people are not interested in independence, but to help other concerns. the situation and for job at the moment is very critical and people open job for the problems like unemployment and many other issues. so i think that call us on woman has no relevance at this point to find what concerns i mean that the renewed attention of call this done good mix 6 talk gets politicians intent on still can do wides. political games. as

joining us as judge budge pays senior research fellow for sales asia, a chat home house. thanks for coming on the program. it seems that the assassination of hardy seeing the jar has had the opposite effect of what the murderers intended. and now there's global attention to a previously largely unknown and, and very small separatist movement. talk about things backfiring here. well, you know, the color's done separatist movement was rooted in median state of punjab. it picked back in the 1980s early 19 ninety's. it's been fueled by local grievances, but also by, by support from pockets time we've seen a revival of sorts in recent years fueled by next us with organized crime and drug smuggling and combined with economic change challenges in the state of punjab. but it's nowhere near where it was said 3 decades ago. and the college study movement is arguably stronger outside india than it is within the country today. why do you
7:24 pm
think delhi is escalating things with this latest diplomatic move against canada or so i think and what we have seen is, is you know, the, you know, the relationship is on the downward spiral within a tit for tat escalation by the end of the canadian, and they need governments, the latest development is that india is demanding that canada scale down its diplomatic presence. but to see, i think what's surprising is to see such a public spot between 2 countries that are not adversaries. so until recently, canada and india been pursuing deepening relations. we have so of course seen similar tensions between canada and china for instance in the past. but here are 2 countries that are both democracies. they're both claim to be responsible, global powers. they're both advocates of the rules based international order, and they're both close partners with united states and i think that's what makes this a particularly difficult situation. and in terms of, you know, your question, i think it is indicative of india pursuing a more, a sort of
7:25 pm
a muscular foreign policy. so it's a country that's showing itself to be more prone to taking offense to actions that challenge itself in the in status and more prone to taking retardation to such actions. to what extent, as modi, unable to navigate this as flexibly as, as administration, might like because of what you've just alluded to indian nationalism, which is a relatively something he's helped foster. well, i think it's important to know that domestically there's been a high level of consensus in indian public opinion and across the political divide in support of the government's position. so there's, there's been sort of a rally around the flag effect. and if you contrast that with a canada, what to do is facing declining approval really ratings and to those actions that receive less universal support. then i think this clearly needs to be put in the context of next year's general election and movie is likely to use this incident with canada and india's g 20 presidency. to show that india has a more sort of muscular foreign policy. and it's true,
7:26 pm
those accusations are true and on the one hand, as you mentioned, there were a lot of incentives for canada to improve relations with india. so one would think that the canadian leader would not be lying about this. it frankly, this entire situation is given him only a world of headache. so it's clear that he believes and extra judicial towing has taken place in his largely peaceful country. is there any way then out for india and canada in terms of moving beyond this diplomatic rift and, and does either really want to so i think there has been some initial signs of, of, of an attempt to try to deescalate tension near truth. judo recently made a statement saying that he wants closer ties with india, you refer to india as a growing economic power. an important geo political player has an idea of course, as a core component of canada's in the pacific strategy, which was gonna be
7:27 pm
a last year. so there are some attempts at least that indicate as trying to find an offer and ongoing tensions. but as of now, i think, yeah, so it is a very difficult situation. the both sides claim to have the upper hand, they claim the other side is diplomatically isolated. both sides claims that they have the moral high ground. and so canada is of course, accusing agents of indian government to involve be involved in the killing of a canadian national, a canadian swell, while india is a choosing canada, becoming a safe haven for terrorism extremism, an organized crime. and that, i think, yeah, i think for the foreseeable future, we're not seeing any, no clear offerings or attempts to try and de escalate tensions. of this dispute is happening, as you say, in the context of a number of democracies making overtures to india, particularly the united states as a 6 to build alliances in the, in the pacific as a hedge against china. so, um, can you talk a little bit more about how this killing on canadian soil,
7:28 pm
how it's impacting these uh, greater uh and bigger great power dynamics. so i mean it's, it's, it's a interesting with you mentioned the us, the us has invested a lot of political capital and its relationship with india when we saw the red carpet. welcome. that prime minister movie received in washington in june. we've seen growing engagement between both country and this comes in the context of india is growing strategic importance and so within the last year it's past the u. k. in terms of gdp, it's past china in terms of population. it's seen as a bulwark against the rise of china. and washington clearly doesn't want to jeopardize the time and energy that it's invested in its relationship with india. which is why i think we see, you know, relatively noted or re screen response by, by the us and other countries. but i think, you know, if, if an indian link is definitively established, i think that would put these countries in a very difficult position. for instance, the us is, you know, don't play concerns about india's human rights record and allegations of democratic
7:29 pm
backsliding. it may be more, you know, for us to more openly acknowledge these concerns to touch buys, pay. thank you so much for joining us. i think that's it for the program as always you can catch us on social media and on our website w dot com, forward slash asia. my name is melissa chance. thanks for watching and we'll see you tomorrow. the . it's time for visual noise for sustainability. but also for horsepower the, it's time for the mobile revolution
