A diplomatic compromise to demonstrate to India that Canada is not doing "nothing" while not actually punishing him judiciously.

India should have plenty of evidence to be able to charge him, try him, and convict him in absentia, then demand Canada extradite him. That they haven't done so is a strong hint that they don't have enough evidence that would hold up in a modern justice system.

I in no way defend or excuse the United States' history of extra-judicial killings around the world. The US is absolutely hypocritical when it comes to international relations, has done much to destabilize democratic institutions in the world (mostly to keep them from embracing more leftist/communist ideologies that would threaten American Capitalist economic interests)
The assassination of this general will be remembered as an egregious act of the Trump administration, however it is only the latest in a long line of these kind of actions under the administrations of both political parties.
The US gets away with it because it's the most powerful economy and military in the world. Noone else does, nor should they.

You really need to read up on Indian laws and history. In absentia conviction isn't a thing in Indian law.
But this is just smoke and mirrors. People in the West don't care for Indian legal system. Because "freedom of expression", "Hindu nationalists" and what not. So, this isn't going to help anyways.
But I also think you underestimate the West's perception of India. By and large, people do see the country as a democratic, powerful, diverse, proud empire.
I'm not speaking for the racists, but those are the same everywhere.
What people DON'T care for is Modi's Hindutva, his populist movement that makes people so angry online, or the extra-judicial policies that they've followed to just name certain people (like Nijjar) as terrorists, and then make no other effort to prove their guilt.
It is pretty much clear how India is perceived from your comments. Someone who is doesn't know Indian laws but trying to make assured judgments about India's justice system and telling people how they should approach situations.
At least that is how things are perceived in India. Racist or not. That is the line which is being toed by Modi.
Consider this - If this whole situation was such a perceived issue, India wouldn't have taken this strong stance. If these online angry people were the majority - India wouldn't have taken this stance.
As for the whole Modi's Hindutva agenda, no one seems to ask a basic question - Why does his populist movement which apparently is so hated online, I mean even Trump's right wing agenda isn't hated as much, is so successful? He won the elections. Twice. Not even Trump's right wingers could do that. Why do the majority still side with him?
