The Washington Post first reported that Canadian officials alleged Indian Home Affairs Minister Amit Shah was behind a campaign of violence and intimidation targeting Sikh separatists in Canada.

Shah is not just a “senior member of Modi’s cabinet”. he’s the architect behind Modi’s tenure as prime minister since 2014. he’s very much the king-maker in this story.

he’s one of the stokers of the fervent right-wing saffron-tinged flame of hindutva that’s consumed so many voters into blind allegiance over the last decade. he’s smart, cunning, and perhaps one of the most dangerous persons alive today.
