Khalistani ‘Doom Loop’ and the Promise of India-Canada Relations

By : Pooja Gopal

Page No: 68-84

Abstract
India-Canada relations have deteriorated in recent months. This essay argues that ‘diaspora politics’ have become entrenched in the Canadian electoral democratic process. The Canadian Sikh diaspora is able to punch above its weight in domestic politics and foreign policy. The Khalistani ‘doom loop’ has ensnared the bilateral relationship between the two countries perceptibly for the long term. Economic, commercial, and cultural relations, however, continue to show promise, and remain unaffected by the current controversy. The need is to firewall the strategic partnership that is mutually rewarding.
