Fun Fact: Punjab province/state is not exclusive to India, Pakistan too has a larger Punjab province with sizeable Sikh population, however Khalistanis only want land carved out of India, and not Pakistan, because Khalistan is a project by Pakistan under its "Bleed India by 1000 cuts" doctrine. Edit: JJ is equating Sikhs as Khalistanis whereas in reality well over 90% of Sikhs don't want Khalistan, only those with allegiance to Pakistan want it.

Thank you for calling it terrorism! I can't express how infuriating it's been watching mainstream Canadian media call all these guys as religious leaders
-
One thing Trudeau did and every indian should thank him : uniting all indian political parties together A rare W for indian politics
-
Did not expect such unbiased commentary from a Canadian on this topic. More power to you sir.
-
You forgot to mention that Indian government had asked for Parmar’s extradition before the Air India bombing. It’s should have been easy as both nations are part of the commonwealth. However Justin Trudeau’s dad Pierre denied the request because Indian government didn’t consider the Queen (of England) a head of state.

I'm neither Indian nor Canadian, but I am fascinated by how immigrant groups are often much more nationalistic and radical than the people back home. In particular, I'm from Croatia and my impression is that immigrant Croatians in Germany and Australia often tend to care much, much more about historical issues and our grudges with our neighbors than most people that I know in Croatia.

As a non-India and non-Canadian, thank you for letting me know the world is a worse place than I thought it is. Honestly, great video, great explanation.
-
as an american, i had no damn clue this was even happening (there is pretty much zero coverage on international topics outside of what the usa itself has a vested interest in), so thank you for covering it & bringing non-canadian / indian eyes to the issue
-
This video is proof that if you want to really understand an issue, YouTube is often miles ahead of news coverage. Well done!

The real problem is the lack of any arrests following such an attack, the worst airline related terrorism incident until 9/11. Witnesses were murdered along the way to a trial and eventually one person was convicted 20 years later and he served less than 5 years in prison. Imagine if the 9/11 terrorists survived and nobody cared to uncover who was behind it and those terrorists lived happily ever after in New York City.

Can we discuss how DISAPPOINTING the mainstream has been? Thank you for your work. THIS is why people turned to YouTube. Can’t believe some elite hypocrites would call terrorists freedom fighters

Sikh in India are revered. As a woman in India, having a Sikh brother in a room, has an automatic response of being safe. They are synonymous with brave, honour bound and honest with deep sense of national pride and service towards humanity. They command respect in our heart for all that they have sacrificed for our country. My family has served in indian military and through them have known many punjabi uncles and brothers who stand guard for protecting our freedom.

As a Indo-Australian from a Sikh background, it’s super interesting to see the difference in discourse and culture with regards to Khalistan. My entire life I haven’t really seen anyone here share that rhetoric for support for the movement - or most people just don’t care at all or are indifferent. Seeing this play out in Canada, and in its politics - is super interesting.
-
JJ didn't want to touch the Indian side but Sikhs in general are respected and highly valued in India for their contribution to Indian society, in particular the sacrifices they made for Indian independence and continue to make even today. India's anger toward Canadian indifference over Sikh extremists is broadly shared in India - not just among chauvinist Modi supporters!
-
Actually, Sikhs are highly regarded in India compared to others due to their generally hardworking and empathetic nature. Very recently did I learn about Khalistani terrorism in India (clue: it doesn't exist in India at all). Unfortunately, due to racism sponsored apathy, Canada ended up accumulating extremists. Do not know whether it is good for Canadian society or not (clue: it isn't good). As far as India is concerned, we are more than happy to share space with our Sikh brethren in our home country.
-
Your observation that khalistani are popular in Punjab is not true. Majority of indian sikhs want to be Indians.
-
5:16 "A unique flavour of political violence had come to Canada ... that the majority of Canadians were indifferent to." Wonderfully put. đź‘Ź
-
Having friends who are from Canada, friends who are Sikh and some acquaintances who are from India, this was a very interesting experience over the past week or so.
-
As an Indian, everything you said makes sense. Fir the first time, I'm going to research about Khalistan movement from a khalistani POV. Thanks for the video.

Khalistanis are not Sikhs. Suppression of Sikhs happens in Pakistan Punjab not Indian Punjab.
