I m a sikh Indian woman. We are not oppressed. The khalistani seperatist are sourcing their anger and motivation from the 1984 genocide. It was terrible but a work of a currupt selfish politics. The times have changed and yes the people and the govt is trying to move on and live in harmony. We are a part of our country and love and are loved equally.

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.

In Kolkata all parents told their daughters to hail a Sikh taxi driver if they were commuting at night but now there are very few of them left This is the type of respect the Sikh Community had and still have in Bengal .
@johnpaul7241
Did not expect such unbiased commentary from a Canadian on this topic. More power to you sir.
@dr.python
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.

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.

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.

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.
@anuvlad9836
One thing Trudeau did and every indian should thank him : uniting all indian political parties together A rare W for indian politics
@mcmann7149
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.

India : we didn't do it. Indians: we will fookin do it again
@TheNewTravel
This video is proof that if you want to really understand an issue, YouTube is often miles ahead of news coverage. Well done!
@sajee6198
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.
@silverbullet3939
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!
@nobodyfornow
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
@QueenHayer
Most of us are chill AF. Khalistani agenda is not popular with most Sikhs as it goes against our core and fundamental beliefs. Some of those beliefs are that; we are all one & being a lover before you are a warrior.
@viski6485
I'm from India and not a Sikh. I'd been following this issue for a while. There haven't been one, who actually put things to perspective; like its been done here. Truly unbiased and exceptional. Like the turban they wear, the Sikh community are a kind of pride to our country. Its really sad to know that the complete community is been shamed because of some handful of miscreants. I just hope that this ends soon. Once again, a beautiful commentary.
@rays7445
A very balanced presentation. There is one point that is missed in the ending. In India, both parties are united on this issue (a rare occurence). In many ways, this is an issue that concerns the opposition Congress party more than the ruling BJP. It was the Congress party supremo, Indira Gandhi, who was assasinated by the Khalistanis in 1984 - her death celebrated with a float (depiciting her assassination) in Canada a few weeks ago. It was Mrs.Gandhi who was pleading with the senior Trudeau to extradite the soon-to-be Air India bombing planner. It was the Congress in power when the two Air India bombs went off. Yes, two Air India bombs - the second one exploded on the ground in Tokyo resulting in 2 deaths vs 300+. The BJP could have taken the petty politics route and dismissed most of this as insults to his arch-rival congress party. The fact is that the BJP and Congress are in complete sync on this issue - it's not just a Modi/BJP thing.

Hitting the effigy of Modi with a shoe at 24:57 is so Indian it hurts.
