Ujjal Dosanjh is a former NDP premier of British Columbia and a former federal cabinet minister under Liberal prime minister Paul Martin .

The call for a separate Sikh homeland in Punjab , India — to be called Khalistan — has been brewing since the 1930s .

The movement now has marginal support in India but has taken wings in Canada and escalated into the present derailing of relations between India and Canada .

Ujjal: Trudeau 's vision of a post-national state without a mainstream culture deeply offends us.

He says Trudeau ’s vision of Canada is “a post-nation state without the mainstream culture” He says politicians pandering to a well-orchestrated Sikh vote to tip the balance in close elections.

Uijal: There are ways Trudeau could deescalate this tense relationship with India , and it's just a matter of eating humble pie.
