In recent years, the United States has tried to form an alliance with India, and the United States has deliberately planned the "quadripartite talks" between the United States, Japan, India, and Australia.
The United States really invested heavily this time to draw India into its camp, but it didn't take long for the relationship between the United States and India to begin to become tense. Earlier, the US ambassador to India himself said that Modi had invited Biden to India in January at the G20 summit. But puzzling is that the White House did not make any statements during the entire process. What's even more interesting is that seeing that January is coming, the White House suddenly announced that Biden's trip has not been officially announced. This has sparked a huge controversy over whether Biden is likely to be absent.
In order to encircle India, the United States can be said to have made a bloody investment and given India enough face.
If this is the case, then people outside will be very curious, Biden spent a lot of money to pull India over, and Biden only went to India once, and he was dissatisfied with it, he is not afraid of embarrassing Modi and destroying the goodwill of the United States towards IndiaWhile arguing, the outside world suddenly remembered a lawsuit between India and the United States, and Modi's ** was involved in an assassination. Assassination is a serious problem in the United States. It is clear that something similar is happening in Canada and India. At that time, relations between Canada and India were very tense, and both countries kicked diplomats out of the country and suspended their visas.
All in all, while India has been trying to establish ties with India, some of its actions have quietly planted cracks in the relationship between the two countries. This article examines the assassinations in India and the delicate and evolving relationship between the United States and India.
1) The United States has been trying to convince India over the years, and it can be said that it has spared no effort.
The Global Times recently published an interesting headline: Biden may refuse to visit India. This "India" does not mean Indonesia, but India.
At first glance, the name is strange: since the 21st century, every American president has tried to maintain close and friendly relations with India, if not that, then good relations with India. When Biden was in power, his attitude towards India became even tougher. Let me tell you about it.
First of all, Biden has cleverly developed a four-nation security system of the United States, Japan, and India-Australia to establish diplomatic relations with India. This system is interesting, Japan and Australia are good friends of the United States, and this system is obviously not needed, because the United States has developed this system against India. The United States wants to host a summit between the United States and India, but seems to be aware of this, and has brought in two of its most important allies in the Asia-Pacific region.
The United States is trying to draw India into its camp and form a "3+1" structure of the "four dialogues" of the United States, Japan, India, and Australia.
It's like the United States is going to hold a banquet for India, but it doesn't feel like it's appropriate, so it invites its closest friends to come with it. This constitutes a "three-to-one" form of conversation. Therefore, this kind of conversation system is actually called the "United States, Japan, Australia, and India" conversation system. The United States has dragged two important subordinates to establish good relations with India, and this is undoubtedly a great honor for India.
Second, during Modi's visit to the United States in late June, Biden showed great courtesy to India. Biden also allowed General Electronics to travel to India to build engines for Indian military aircraft in an effort to build closer ties with India. You know, the so-called "production" does not refer to a person's product, but to the cooperation between two companies, which also includes some technical sharing. The engine of a military aircraft is not an ordinary part. It is a painstaking effort that the United States is willing to make such a huge compromise for India.
Modi's visit to the United States was highly valued by the US Congress, and he was even invited to the United States to give a speech, and even some US parliamentarians lined up to ask Modi for autographs. This is Modi's second speech to the US parliament as prime minister. In other countries, it is the closest allies of the United States who can speak in the United States, but Modi has been invited twice, which in itself is strange. Few of the other U.S. allies have addressed the U.S. Congress more frequently than Modi, with Yoon Suk-yeol only once so far, and Prime Minister Kishida not even more so since taking office. This time, the United States has made a bloody effort to pull Modi into its camp.
The third case: After the Russia-Ukraine war, the United States imposed tough sanctions on Russia, especially for oil and gas, which is the lifeblood of the Russian economy. However, the Indian way is interesting, India is crazy to sell cheap from Russia, and frantically from Russian oil tankers are constantly sailing to Indian terminals. The United States has negotiated with India many times, but India has not accepted the United States' proposal, and the United States has no choice but to swallow its anger in order to curry favor with India, and if it were another country, I am afraid that the United States will directly impose sanctions on them, but in the face of India, the United States still chose to compromise.
The fourth example: after the G-20 summit, India and Canada had diplomatic differences. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has openly condemned Modi's authorities for sending personnel to Canada to assassinate Sikhs amid the expulsion of Indian and Canadian diplomats and the suspension of visas. Normally, the United States would have supported its staunch ally, Canada, but when India emerged, it held back in order to curry favor with India. Biden is a veteran politician in the United States, and he values Western social values and ideologies very much. If anyone wants to assassinate Canada, Biden will condemn and sanction him as soon as possible. But when he saw India, Biden tolerated it, only said a few words vaguely, and did not say much.
Relations between India and Canada had previously reached an impasse over the assassination of Sikhs.
2) The U.S. demand for India's "great power competition" strategy is an important reason for its adaptation.
All in all, Biden has spared no effort in his relations with India, handing over almost everything to India. Seeing this, some people may wonder: why does the United States spend so much effort to curry favor with India?This is because the US strategy of "great power competition" urgently requires India to cooperate with it.
First, the Trump era changed the Asia Pacific Entreprise in Obama's Asia-Pacific policy to a "strategy strategy." I think it goes without saying who the primary target of the "Indo-Pacific Strategy" should be. In the "Indo-Pacific Strategy", "India" can be said to be the Indian Ocean or India, but in a larger sense, it is a whole. India's strategic position is so critical to the United States that it can encircle its northern neighbor from the other side, echoing the U.S. blockade of the western Pacific.
Second, because India has been using Russia's ** for a long time, the ** trade between Russia and India is very hot. Moreover, the transaction is different from the ordinary transaction, it is not something that you can solve by spending money, and the update also needs to be completed through the business. Under the **transaction**, the ties between Russia and India are very close.
The United States understands very well that military ** transactions are a large amount of foreign currency exported by Russia abroad, and at the same time an important means of expanding Russia's influence in the region. Therefore, the United States has been trying to withdraw India from the arms system of the USSR, thereby completely isolating Russia and bringing India into its sphere of influence. Therefore, the United States has also played a great role in trying to win over India.
In this context, Biden's visit to India looks easy, and Biden's visit to India will undoubtedly bring India and the United States closer together. What's more, Biden has spent so much money, why can't he go to India once?So maybe Biden won't travel to India, which is a real surprise. What the hell is going on?
Due to India's geographical advantages, in the "Indo-Pacific Strategy", Biden spared no effort to show goodwill to India, while Modi became a guest of Western countries.
The Global Times wrote: January is India's Independence Day, and in India, there are traditionally large-scale celebrations. Previously, the U.S. ambassador to India disclosed that during the G20 summit, Modi invited Biden to visit India in January and attend major celebrations in India as a distinguished guest. Of course, Modi wants Biden to go to India to support him, after all, India is about to be **, and Modi is also going to participate in the election campaign, so if Biden can be elected in the next **, it will undoubtedly be a big help for Modi.
However, it is curious that the trip will bring relations between the United States and India closer, and the White House has not commented on this. On December 12, when asked about this question, the United States** also said: "They can't announce Biden's itinerary just yet." This makes people wonder: Will Biden not come?According to sources familiar with the matter: Biden's trip to India could become difficult. In other words: in fact, Biden will not be in attendance. In this context, attention has begun to be paid to assassinations related to Modi's regime.
This time the assassination was still aimed at Sikhs, but unlike the Canadian assassination, this time in the United States. Late last November, U.S. prosecutors launched a case against Indian ** personnel in the United States** against Sikh **, especially the attempt.
3) India has a deep hatred for Sikh power, and Modi has even assassinated the United States and Canada.
Assassinations in the United States, that is quite a serious matter, as said before, Biden is a veteran politician who pays great attention to Western values, and if there is an assassination in the United States in other countries, it will absolutely not be tolerated!Although U.S. prosecutors have filed indictments against Indian officials, anyone who sees Sikh ** will understand that Modi's actions are once again linked to him. It is important to mention here that Sikhism in India is what causes India to frequently go to the West to carry out assassinations
Sikhism** is a long-standing issue within India, it is about the territorial sovereignty of an India, and as such, it is a "zero tolerance" attitude.
Everyone knows that India is a multi-religious country, which includes Hinduism, Muslims, Sikhs, and many more. It is clear that there are many Sikhs in India, and even today, there are 18 million Sikhs in the northernmost state of Punjab. Eighteen million?This is a lot, but considering the size of India's population, it is somewhat insignificant.
After World War II, the Muslim League strongly advocated the partition of India and Pakistan, and finally enacted the Mountbatten Act, which divided British India into two parts, India and Pakistan. But the division between the two countries is based on religious beliefs. When Muslims can build their own bakista**, why can't they build their own**?It was with this idea in mind that the Sikh ** movement began, and Punjab, where Sikh rule, was located right on the border between India and Pakistan.
Since the 1970s, Sikhism has been prevalent in India, how can India tolerate such attempts to divide its territory?In 1984, there was direct contact between the Sikh forces and the Indian military. India's former prime minister, Indira Gandhi, was killed in a religious struggle. Later, the contradictions between the ** forces and the factions intensified, and finally the ** power of Sikhism was controlled, and many ** forces fled to Europe and the United States, but over time, the ** forces of India were mixed in Europe and the United States, and many of them have taken root in Canada, such as Canada, there are more than 500,000 Sikh believers, and they also have a pivotal position in the Canadian political circle.
But in recent years, the Sikh religion in India has become more and more powerful, and more and more Sikh believers have joined in, and Modi will naturally not allow such a thing to happen. Modi has a strong Hindu mindset and he will never let ** happen. Therefore, Modi took swift measures, which is the main reason why India is assassinating Sikh elements in Europe and the United States.
Generally speaking, assassinations attract the attention of some people, and Modi is not afraid of retaliation from the Western world? Interestingly, Modi has always had good relations with India, so he knows that the Western world needs him, not a tear with him. Besides, the United States has "invested" so much in India, will the United States tear its face with India and lose all its "investment" because of this?
Modi's assassinations in the United States and Canada are entirely based on a full understanding of India, which is why they are so unscrupulous.
The U.S. side has prosecuted India**, but everyone knows that Modi is behind the incident**.
How can the Sikh** elements Pennon, who has US citizenship, have US citizenship in India's successful "assassination" attempt, tolerate Modi**'s "assassination" on US soil and targeting Americans? Thus, US officials, including the director of the FBI, are carrying out an Indian-related assassination operation against India.
India has made a big deal this time, Canada and the United States have made such a big move, Modi is really bold. But now the most embarrassing thing is Biden, first, India's move is obviously contrary to the values of the United States, and it dares to assassinate Americans on American soil, which is simply a big rebellion. But if Biden objects to this, or if some punishment is used, things will get worse, which will create a huge rift between the United States and India, and Biden's previous efforts to curry favor with India will also be in vain. Therefore, the current Biden is really embarrassed. Therefore, the mention that Biden may not visit India raises the attention of ** to "India's attempt to assassinate Pennon".
And there's a lot of uncertainty about what Biden's administration will do if U.S. prosecutors conduct a final review of Modi's administration? Criticizing and punishing India** will bring some risks to the U.S.-India relationship and the "Indo-Pacific" strategy. If we turn a blind eye to this, or just put it on display, the American public will certainly talk about it.
The facts are very complicated, and because of this assassination, Biden has a very difficult time dealing with the problems between the United States and India.
But it also shows the tensions between the United States and India. Both Biden and Modi hope to gain more geographical advantages by strengthening their ties with each other, but the reality has far exceeded their expectations.
