Canada, Empire and the Khalistani Separatists

It should be obvious enough, though it doesn’t appear to be, that Canada is supporting Khalistani separatists in order to facilitate the destabilization of India. This is nothing new from the Pax Americana empire, in which Canada plays it’s role.

Pax defined : a period of general stability in international affairs under the influence of dominant military power.. usually used in combination with a latinized name. Pax Americana.

Although Canada’s role in the Empire has become more obvious- or should be obvious? Still too many Canadians are blissfully unaware of the role Canada plays in empire- Probably because it is well obscured by the ever obfuscating media.

Empire- an extensive group of states or countries under a single supreme authority

Archive.ph original article from the Economist

WHEN INDIA gained independence from Britain in 1947, few outside the country believed that a union of such diverse states could hold together. India has survived—but not without threats to its unity. One of the most enduring has been the Khalistan movement, which seeks to establish an independent homeland for Sikhs. On September 18th Canada’s prime minister, Justin Trudeau, alleged that Indian government agents were behind the killing, in June, of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canadian Sikh leader who supported independence for Khalistan. India’s government, which denies any involvement, has accused Canada of harbouring “terrorists and separatists”. How serious is the Khalistan movement?

The origins of Khalistan lie in Sikhism, a religion practised by 23m people in India and 3m more around the world. The faith emerged in the 15th century in Punjab, a region in northern India, then ruled by the Mughals. In 1699, frustrated by life under Muslim rule and corruption among Sikh priests, Guru Gobind Singh, the faith’s leader, reformed the religion. The khalsa (or pure) tradition he initiated radically changed the way Sikhism was practised and organised. It also came with a political vision: to ensure Sikh rule in Punjab.

At independence, some Sikhs tried to realise that vision by carving out a separate country. But the group was small (in the 1941 census, Sikhs accounted for 15%of the Punjab province in British India). The British partitioned Punjab between India and Pakistan. Most Sikhs living on the Pakistani side chose to move to India.

The Sikhs opted to live in India rather than Pakistan.

The dream of Khalistan survived. In the late 1970s and early 1980s the movement re-emerged, fuelled by growing Sikh diasporas in places like Britain and Canada.

In 1980 Jagjit Singh Chauhan, a doctor in London, declared himself president of the “Republic of Khalistan”.

Undoubtedly he had lots of British intelligence footing to stand on to make that type of declaration.

Violence by Khalistani militants surged. In 1985 Khalistani terrorists planted a bomb on an Air India flight between Montreal and London, killing 329 people, most of them Canadians.

One does wonder if any intelligence agencies had their hands in this bombing that killed so many Canadians- British, American or Canadian?

Some interesting tidbits in this pdf

Page 2 Submission to the Air India Inquiry
These difficulties emerged in the Air India trial, R. v. Malik and Bagri, in which it was found that CSIS had erased tapes and destroyed notes and transcripts relating to witness interviews.
In the circumstances of the case, the Crown conceded that CSIS fell under the umbrella of the Crown for the purposes of determining whether it had discharged its constitutional disclosure
obligations. These actions were found to amount to “unacceptable negligence” in the preservation of evidence, and thus, that the accuseds’ section 7 Charter rights to a fair trial had been violated. Despite the introduction into evidence of CSIS’ interview summaries, which
contained the witnesses’ hearsay statements, their weight was seriously compromised given the destruction of this confirmatory evidence. CSIS’ failure to maintain proper interview notes, transcripts and wiretap evidence likely seriously undermined the prosecution of the Air India bombing

Gee why would CSIS do that? Any chance they were covering for intelligence proxies?

Back to the Economist article

Eventually, though, the movement lost steam in India—partly owing to a government crackdown and economic growth. Many Sikhs still consider Bhindranwale a martyr, but few try to emulate him and those who do are quickly stopped. The only remaining party that advocates Khalistani independence secured less than 3% of the vote in the latest state election.

So where is this separatist movement being instigated from?

Outside India the movement persists. Groups in America, Australia, Britain and Canada continue to support separatism. India’s relations with Canada were strained even before Mr Nijjar’s killing and Mr Trudeau’s accusation. Similar tensions could emerge with other countries. Khalistan may no longer be a threat to India’s unity, but it will affect its foreign policy.

I’m going to repeat that and point out clearly that the 5 eyes nations (excluding New Zealand) are at the heart of this separatist movement

It is not a coincidence that the 5 eyes nations, including Canada, are feeding a separatist movement to change the politics of another nation. It’s the business of empire. It’s also state sponsored terrorism, defined in Canada as “the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.”

I felt unbelievably compelled to write this latest report given all that is going on here in Canada and the bogus way it’s being presented in the media including some in the alt media
This is not a conservative vs liberal “thing”- that’s to simplistic
This is global empire machinations-
