India Canada News: Relations between India and Canada have taken a big turn for the better since Canada's top intelligence service acknowledged that Khalistani extremists operating in the country are a threat. This comes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi took a strong stance at the G7 Summit in Italy, where India is thought to have brought this important problem to the attention of the world.

Khalistani extremists are using Canada as a base, according to CSIS.

A report from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) says that pro-Khalistani groups are using Canadian land to spread separatist propaganda and raise money for violence in India. Extremists are reportedly using community platforms and international networks to further their goals while putting Indian diplomats and citizens living abroad in danger.

The CSIS report makes it clear that these groups have been hiding their radical goals by saying they are just trying to help people and protect free speech. This is a very big problem for national and foreign security.

A Change in Canada's Official Position

People think that this is a big change from the past, when Canada didn't want to directly address India's worries. India-Canada relations reached an all-time low in 2023, when Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau openly said that India had something to do with the death of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. New Delhi strongly denied the claim.

India kept asking for solid proof and told Canada to take strong action against separatist groups that were a threat to India's security.

It Works Out for Modi's Diplomatic Plan

The CSIS leak is seen as a strategic win for Prime Minister Modi by experts and officials. During the G7 Summit, Modi stressed how important it was for the whole world to take a united stand against all kinds of terrorism and radicalism. His strong diplomatic skills, along with persistent pressure from India, seem to have forced Canada to publicly recognize the problem.

This change in the story may have also been caused by work done behind the scenes by Indian diplomats and growing worries in Canada about radicalization.

What will happen next between India and Canada?

After reading the CSIS report, which is a good step, India will closely watch to see what Canada does to really fight these radical groups. People think that after this statement, legal and administrative steps will be taken to stop the Khalistani network from growing in Canada.

This moment could be the start of a diplomatic thaw that leads to trust and unity between the two democracies again.
