India's Friendship with America Under Test

Relations between Canada and India have deteriorated following allegations linking India to the killing of a Canadian Sikh activist. While India denies the allegations, it is facing pressure as it has been revealed that some of the intelligence pointing to Indian involvement was provided by the United States. The incident highlights the delicate nature of India's relationship with the West, as it seeks to deepen security ties with the US while remaining reluctant to cede any aspect of its security to another power. The partnership between the US and India is primarily driven by mutual concerns over China, but India risks losing support if it starts behaving like China.
