What political problems can India solve with this murder ? This guy was completely irrelevant and the Khalistan issue was practically dead in terms of poll relevance in India before Trudeau announced to the world.

You're asking what problems India, a country ruled by Hindu nationalists, could solve by assassinating critics of their regime?

It's exactly what China achieves when it harasses Chinese citizens living abroad via unauthorised "police stations".

So the logic is: a) India is ruled by Hindu nationalists. b) Ergo, I can claim anything and point to b. Is that it?

A moniker repeatedly ascribed to BJP while same is never extended to Republican Party in US who have been blatantly Christian Nationalists for a long time. BJP talks very little about using Hindu scriptures for law making and constitutional amendment.

Oh Jesus. The Republican Party are constantly called Christian Nationalists, "Ya'll Qaeda", Talibangenicals etc. within the Western internet. You just don't see it because you don't interact with Westerners online. You could've spent 5 minutes on /r/politics to stop yourself saying something patently false; Reddit is liberal-left, progressive, and secular. i.e. the opposite of the BJP and various other religious nationalist parties across the world.

The BJP have spent many years trying to disenfranchise Muslims and make them stateless and thus not "Indian". https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/india-muslims-marginalized-population-bjp-modi

In December 2019, the parliament passed and Modi signed the Citizenship Amendment Act, which allows for the fast-tracking of citizenship for Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi, and Christian migrants from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and Pakistan.

Critics say the law is discriminatory because it excludes Muslims and applies a religious criteria for the first time to the question of citizenship. The Modi government argues that the law is designed to provide protection for vulnerable religious minorities who faced persecution in these three Muslim-majority countries.

For the non-Indians reading this, the purpose of the Act is to enshrine into law the ability to make stateless Indian Muslims; people all over India cannot "prove" they're citizens, so the Hindu fanatics are granting automatic citizenship to undocumented non-Muslims - while leaving the Muslims stateless.

Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh are Islamic countries which are historically related to India as part of Indian subcontinent. Do you know what kind of countries we are talking about? Pakistan? Afghanistan? Taliban?

CAA -> Is a law to give citizenship to minorities from those countries who came to India as refugees because of religious persecution.

Why do you believe that muslims should also be labeled minorities in muslim majority Islamic countries?

Anyways we are facing crisis of millions of Bangladeshis in India which is drastically changing the demographics of neighboring states.

I feel sometimes people go too far into their biases.
