Canada appears to be backing down from a diplomatic row with India over the murder of a Canadian Sikh man in British Columbia in June.

The man who was murdered, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, had been calling for a separate Sikh homeland, which some in the Sikh diaspora strongly support. Sushmita Pathak reports from Delhi on where India’s Sikhs stand on the issue today.
