Is India really wanting to start a war because you don't agree with someone over philosophy?
A war with who? The US? Not a chance that happens over something like this. What would the US' achievable war aims even be that could possibly justify the human and economic costs of a war with India? And I mean that both ways; not only how many American military deaths would the US be willing to incur just to make a point about their sovereignty but how many Indian casualties would the US be willing to inflict over the state-sanctioned murder of one non-US citizen on their territory? How many would be appropriate? I would submit that the most rational and likely answer is none.
Most "acts of war" don't start wars. At worst the US would probably impose sanctions against the Indian government officials they believed were involved. Given how much they want India as a partner to blunt China it would more likely be strongly worded statements of condemnation and back room tut-tutting. The US isn't going to fight a war against one of their top 10 trading partners and disrupt maritime shipping in the Indian Ocean over the murder of a foreign dissident on American soil.
No, but other countries might. Canada has the right to view it as an act of war and drag everyone along with it.
You honestly think Canada will start a war over this? There is no way
With India, no, but India is dependent on Western military imports to replace it's aging Russian equipment to deter the Chinese and Pakistan joint threat. Those deliveries can be shut down due to these actions, leaving India very week and prone to attack.

True
They probably just thought they could get away with it and nobody would care.
India still needs to learn how to behave like a first-world nation.
India or Modi?
Yes.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The murder-for-hire charges against the man, Nikhil Gupta, 52, were announced by the Justice Department days after American officials had expressed concerns to the Indian government about the suspected assassination plot against the separatist.
And the charges came just months after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada accused the Indian government of involvement in the June killing of another Sikh separatist, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Mr. Pannun is an outspoken proponent of independence for the northern Indian state of Punjab, which is home to a large number of Sikhs, a powerful but minority group in the nation.
director, to visit India to discuss the suspected assassination plot and press the Indian government to hold those involved responsible, according to U.S. officials familiar with the events.
Indian’s Ministry of External Affairs said Wednesday that the United States had “shared some inputs pertaining to nexus between organized criminals, gun runners, terrorists and others” and that the government had convened a committee to investigate.
That individual, who was not identified, is accused of recruiting Mr. Gupta, who prosecutors say then hired a hit man to kill Mr. Pannun and provided personal information about him, including his home address in New York City and details about his daily activities.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
