> Undoubtedly the Modi administration has received more information about it than we have.
why undoubtedly? -- looking at the Indian response I doubt that they have.
> Hypothetically, is there some sort of motive you have for Canada to want to blame India for such a murder? What would they have to gain?
Yes, there is. The Trudeau govt will fall, if not for the support from Jagmeet Singh who is openly pro Khalistan and anti-India. Trudeau has every reason to act on behest of Jagmeet Singh. To top it all, Trudeau also aspires for the same pro-Khalistan/anti-India voters. The differences between India-Canada relationship are not new, it started soon after Trudeau became PM. In 2018 during his India visit, Trudeau, with him, invited a known Khalistani, convicted of attempted murder of an Indian Minister. But, however, the differences go all the way back to 1985 when pro-Khalistan Canadians bombed Air India Flight 182, killing all 329 aboard and failed-attempt to bomb another Air India Flight 301.
It is not to suggest that these allegation are because of this motive -- but only to list motive (since you asked).
It’s a legacy feature of Indian democracy. Prior to this almost every public building (universities, Stadiums, Zoos, Office Buildings, Parks, etc) were named after Nehru, Gandhi or someone else from ruling family. Those names still exist.
I didn’t all this while, but just yesterday when my toddler was playing with my phone, the pop up opened and it got clicked as my toddler was repeatedly beating on the screen.
I guess this was their intention all along by showing repeated pop up windows.
I see that the article lists a number of metrics, none of which is topped by US. Got it. But the greatness should be holistic measure of all the metrics.
So the question is: Is there any other country that overall ranks better than US. If not, then US remains greatest. Isn’t it?
> can they really ambush a human, and push them over a ledge?
I would say male adult monkeys in my village can (males are bigger and stronger), although they don’t. They are fast, agile and acrobatic. Except for well prepared adult humans, monkeys can throw everyone else off a ledge.
Reason so many monkeys exist in India is because they are sacred animals (to Hindus, 80% population). In our village, no one can kill them. The most one can do is throw a stone to scare them away.
$2 trillions could have been used to convert Palestinians into Jews, Christians, Jains or Buddhists, peacefully of-course. While it may not have resolved all the conflicts, it definitely would have reduced it drastically.
