India said on Tuesday it had expelled a Canadian diplomat with five days' notice to leave the country, just hours after Ottawa expelled the South Asian nation's top intelligence agent and accused it of a role in the murder of a Sikh separatist leader.

The political shift India has undergone under Modi is quite concerning. If the reports regarding the murder of the Sikh leader on Canadian soil are accurate, it's reminiscent of actions one might associate with leaders like Putin.

Autocrats seem to use the same playbook…

It is more like Bush or Obama rather than Putin. Putin's playbook entails direct war whereas west would befriend and then stab in the back or attack you on falsehood and drummed up pretexts.
