(56:07) - Outro In today’s episode of Figuring Out, we have Abhijit Iyer-Mitra in conversation with Raj Shamani. Abhijit is a Senior Fellow at the Institute of Peace & Conflict Studies, a columnist, and a traveler. Today, he shares his in-depth insights on the India-Canada relationship and the Khalistan movement. In this episode, we discussed what he is doing and how it is impacting our country, the current reality of Hindus living in Canada, whether the India-Canada relationship could turn into one like India and Pakistan, why our relationship with Canada has suddenly soured, and the historical context behind it. We also delved into the political gaps, Khalistan’s influence in Canada, and how people are illegally entering the country. He further explained what Pakistan wants from India, what Khalistan wants, and their issues with us. Towards the end, we discussed why he avoids traveling with Air India, whether we should take threats seriously, what we can do to resolve this situation, and what actions our government should take.
