Never understood how a country can dictate terms to another

I have long advocated a uniform set of laws across the board by the United Nations. Standardization so to say. Thereafter...each country can have its own set of modifications specifically indicating where the law is altered. That way, what is right in my country cannot be wrong in yours, as easily. And the lawyers have fewer chances of getting richer. In the process, they would not be increasing their charges rapidly too, being less employed. But then I digress. The recent sulking of India vs. Canada is an example of what I would have prevented. I am never for force. I am for convincing. I am confident I can convince, given a chance, and willingness to listen. I am also confident that people are willing to give others a chance unless their sentiments are played about by priests, politicos as well as media (including celebrities). At times, silence of priests, celebrities and/or leaders is read as agreement with the prevailing issues. We need to give others a chance to express their grievance. Going outside the country and using the subtle pressures of minority voting on becoming the citizens is not ok. Nor is threatening the political image. Or protests to act upon some issues in another country. Exceptions to rule exist. When there is genocide as it was in 1984. Or when there is Ukraine war. Or when it was in Nazi Germany. But in general, holding another country to ransom for independence is something that is hard to digest. Religion is personal. Not a national issue. Not a political issue. It should not be part of the system at all. Religion does not say provide security to citizens, provide roads, provide hospitals, provide jobs, provide law and order, provide education, provide housing. The portfolios are different. Why are the two being intermingled? Politicos and social media, and of course, the television media. So ..yeah...the Canada India conflict that we are witnessing now has its base in religion somewhere. That is disturbing. It will do India good if it calls for dialogue rather than dictate terms to another nation. Cancelling visas to Canadians? How many Indians want Canadian visa and how many Canadians seek Indian visa? Laughable stuff.
