India needs to be extremely cautious considering America’s role in the Canada episode.

The relations between India and Canada are becoming increasingly strained after the manner in which Canada has accused India without any evidence in the murder of notorious terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Due to the absurd allegations made by Canada in the Nijjar murder case, the relations between India and Canada are being adversely affected, but after many information has come to light in this whole matter, now many questions are being raised regarding the stand of America as well. Have been.

The way America first misused the intelligence platform of Five Eyes to instigate Canada against India by giving wrong information and later on the way it tried to put pressure on India by giving statements in this matter, it is clear – It is clearly visible that America conspired against India, hatched a conspiracy and tried to stab India in the back by calling itself a friend.

In such a situation, the big question now arising is what does America want? On one hand, America is praising India and its leadership on international forums, calling India its closest friend and strategic partner, while on the other hand, it is conspiring against India in this way, despite knowing that this issue How sensitive it is for India.

Troubled by China’s aggressive policy, on one hand America is seeing India as a helpful country, on the other hand both the countries are uniting against China’s aggressive policies, conducting joint military exercises and giving signals to China on the economic front. We are continuously strengthening economic relations by signing new agreements. Even in the defense sector, despite having many options, India is working with America to help its economy by making defense agreements, but despite this, this action of America has alerted India.

America has not only instigated Canada against India by giving wrong information but has also tried to put pressure on India through its statements. This dual attitude of America has now given India a chance to stop and think again about the depth of its relations with America because if America will first conspire against India behind its back and then create pressure by giving statements. If it tries to do so, then it will definitely become difficult for the Indian government to move forward in the direction of strengthening its relations with America because it is a well-known fact that there has always been an atmosphere of suspicion in India and among Indians regarding America. . The way America has betrayed even its closest friends many times in history, a recent example of which is the Ukraine-Russia war, in which America first promoted Ukraine and when the war has entered Ukraine’s home, America has in a way By avoiding Ukraine, it has been left alone in front of a superpower like Russia. But by doing such actions with a reliable and trustworthy country like India, America has once again proved that it can never become a trustworthy country at the international level and hence India will always have to be cautious of it.

On one hand, America wants to build strong strategic relations with India due to the fear of China, on the other hand, it is once again maintaining its double stand by supporting Canada which gives shelter to terrorist elements challenging the unity and integrity of India. Has been exposed. America has been using Pakistan in a similar manner to harass India for decades. But India is changing and now the time has come to clearly tell America and its allies that strategic partnership, trade and economic agreements may be important for India but it is at odds with India’s unity, integrity and sovereignty. More is not more important and the sooner America and its allies understand this, the better it will be for world peace.
