In June this year, India sent someone to assassinate Indian Sikh leader Nijjar, who was politically asylum in Canada, triggering Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau many times**, but the United States chose to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Not long ago, India once again carried out assassinations on American soil, attempting to assassinate several important leaders of the American organization "Sikh Justice", including Singh Pannon.
India had enacted the "Anti-Terrorism" Act in 2019, which defined the "Sikh Justice" group as a "terrorist organization" suspected of violent and ** activities. But the assassination attempt was unsuccessful and was reportedly thwarted by the FBI.
This incident caused a lot of controversy in the United States. On the one hand, when dealing with foreign affairs, various departments of the United States have to serve the Indo-Pacific strategy of the United States, and cannot turn against India. But on the other hand, the assassination of a citizen who holds American citizenship and is politically asylum on US soil is a clear slap in the face of the United States.
Modi overestimated his weight in the hearts of the Americans, underestimated the negative impact of the incident, and naively believed that it was just a "small episode" in the rapid development of India-US relations.
Although the U.S. "Indo-Pacific strategy" needs India, the relationship between the two countries is not as rosy as Modi believes.
First, Biden rejected Modi's invitation, which is a signal of US dissatisfaction with India. Secondly, India's traditional friendship with Russia is also one of the reasons for the anger of the United States. India's **equipment** is mostly compared to Russia's, and it was not until the collapse of the Russian economy that it began to turn to the West for help. But the political alliance with Russia remains unwavering.
The United States had hoped that India would replace China as a manufacturing powerhouse, but India has so far failed to do so.
Therefore, in view of the assassination, the United States is likely to increase pressure on India, but in the long run, it will not shake the strategic partnership between the United States and India. Indo-Pacific Strategy
