India Canada Relations: Tension continues between India and Canada over the issue of Khalistan. Khalistani are continuously trying to break India and Justin Trudeau is supporting it. India has also given a befitting reply to Trudeau who blamed India for the murder of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. The High Commissioner of India to Canada has been given an ultimatum to return and the High Commissioners of India to Canada have been recalled.
At the diplomatic level, removing top diplomats is being considered a very tough step. Canada has the support of strong countries like America and Britain, which is why it never spent much on military power. The force formed in 1968 during the Word War was called the Canadian Armed Forces. Like other countries, the Canadian Army also has three parts, which are trained to fight on land, water and air.
Where does Canada stand in front of India?
According to the Global Firepower Index (GPF) Index 2024, which estimates the strength of the army, Canada is nowhere compared to India. In the Power Index, Canada's rank is 27 among 145 countries of the world and India's rank is 2. In terms of manpower, Canada's rank is 38 and India's rank is 2. Canada's rank in paramilitary forces is 42 while India's is 2.
Whose army is stronger between India and Canada?
If we talk about soldiers, Canada has about 60 thousand and it also has about 24 thousand full time soldiers. At the same time, India has 1.4 million soldiers. Canada's defense budget is approximately $27 billion, while India's is $74 billion.
Apart from this, the strength of a country is also estimated from nuclear power. India has advanced nuclear weapons, whereas in Canada, work has not been done in this direction since the 80s. However, under a treaty, if any threat looms over Canada, the other nuclear powered countries will help it.
If there is a war with India, will Canada be able to win?
If we look at the history of wars, Canada does not appear strong. On one hand, India has won many wars on the basis of its own strength, while on the other hand, Canada has taken part in wars on the strength of America and Britain. Overall, Trudeau's Canada is a side hero, who became a hit on the strength of the main hero and kept earning accolades.
If we look at the history of India's wars till now, there have been wars only with the countries sharing its border with the neighboring countries and since Canada's border does not touch anywhere with India, it is almost impossible to have a war with Canada. If this still happens then India will dominate it, unless any external powerful country supports it. At present, seeing India progressing, there are many countries which can come forward to help Canada.
