I am as American as you are, but yes of Indian origin.
Also happen to know the history of the Khalistani (Sikh Extremist) and Jihadi terrorist movements in the subcontinent beyond one or two slanted lines in liberal publications in the West.
Khalistanis (Sikh Extremists) are not just "Activists" , like I said. They fund various mafia and terror groups and are responsible for a lot of violence, almost none of it makes the news in the West but destroys lives in India.
If you are genuinely interested, this gives a good overview of the situation.

Also, nobody in India, at this point really believes that Western governments are not complicit at some level in this matter. Repeated requests by Indian government officials about these terrorists have fallen on deaf ears. US, Canad and UK governments just refuse to designate these groups as terrorist organizations and subject them to the same laws and restrictions as other Jihadi groups.
For example, ( I can provide other link if you wish.)

Most in the west dont know the history of this movement and how important tackling this issue is for any Indian government not just Modi. Many just hear the name and start frothing at the mouth because they are programmed by NYT, Washington Post etc. to go "Modi Bad!!". You can find such examples in this thread as well.
