Last weekend a foreign conflict spilled out onto Canadian streets as Khalistani activists, a small subset of the Sikh diaspora who want to see India’s Punjab region become an independent Sikh state, held rallies outside Hindu temples across the country. They were protesting Indian consular officials being hosted at their places of worship.
The demonstrations came amidst heightened tensions between Canada and India, following incredible allegations from the Canadian government involving interference and assassinations levelled against Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist government.
