India, the world’s most populous country, is a major economic and political power in South Asia. Known for its vast linguistic, cultural, and geographic diversity, India has a rich history that spans thousands of years, with deep-rooted traditions in philosophy, science, art, and religion. Its large population and vast history mark its economic and cultural importance.
While India’s civilization can be traced to the Harrapan era, that is, 1400 BCE, its modern political boundaries were established in 1947 when it gained independence from British rule. It is now a federal parliamentary democracy with 28 states and 8 union territories, with New Delhi as its capital. India has a democratic system with a multiparty political landscape, with the Indian National Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party being the two dominant national parties.
As one of the fastest-growing major economies, India is a global hub for technology, manufacturing, and services, while also being an agrarian powerhouse. It is a nuclear-armed state and plays a key role in regional and global geopolitics, maintaining strategic partnerships with various nations.
India is one of the most ethnically and religiously diverse countries in the world, home to multiple religions, sects, castes, and tribes. It has more than ten-thousand languages and hundreds of regional dialects, with Hindi and English serving as the two of the 22 official languages. Despite economic progress, India faces challenges such as poverty, unemployment, and environmental concerns, alongside managing its complex social fabric and regional disparities.
Why did you mutilate Trudeau’s deposition? He was talking about the early stage last year when they started investigating. How can any country have proof at the beginning of any investigation? If India was not involved, it should have extended all cooperation. Instead quoting sn arbitrary selection of worfs is pathetic

In fact, non-journalists like us are better off than incompetent article writers.
Whether Canada has solid evidence against Indian govt officials is simply immaterial.
What matters is that Canada has received the green signal from USA to go hammer and tongs at India on this issue. It is US approval which has resulted in Canada making wild allegations targeting Indian diplomats, the RAW chief, the NSA Ajit Doval and the HM Amit Shah.
It’s basically an ideological battle playing out through a proxy. The US Democrats have always hated the Modi/Shah duo and the Hindutva ideology of BJP/RSS. The Canadian Liberals led by Trudeau shares this hatred with his US counterparts.
By Trudeau’s own admission, it was US intelligence input to Canada (as part of Five Eyes) which made Canada suspect Indian involvement in Nijjar’s murder.
So, basically, the US has let loose it’s pet dog, the Canadians, on India.
US frustration with India also stems from the fact that India has refused to condemn Russia so far and continues to have close military and economic ties with Russia.
