The allegations from the RCMP and the federal government last week are nothing short of explosive: That agents of the Indian government had been involved in "widespread violence" against Canadians on Canadian soil.

But these kinds of allegations aren't just coming out of Canada. High-level agents within the Indian government have allegedly been linked to assassination attempts, surveillance and harassment in the US, Pakistan, Germany, the UK and Australia. Many of the targets are Sikh activists in the Indian diaspora, who had sought exile abroad.

We're joined by Greg Miller an investigative foreign correspondent for the Washington Post, and Gerry Shih, the Washington Post's India bureau chief, to talk about what their reporting into India's campaign of "transnational repression" has revealed.
