Popular singer AP Dhillon Addresses Division in the Midst of India-Canada Diplomatic Tensions
Amid the diplomatic tensions continuing to unfold between India and Canada, popular singer AP Dhillon has taken to social media to discuss the issue of ‘division’. Taking to his Instagram Stories, the singer of the hit song ‘With You’ wrote a heartfelt note without directly addressing any individuals or naming specific incidents.
In his note, Dhillon expressed his frustration with the ‘social mania’ that surrounds every word or action taken by public figures. He believes that regardless of his intentions, someone will always twist the narrative to fit their own agenda and create more division. As an artist, he feels that it has become increasingly difficult to stay focused on his craft and do what he loves.
Dhillon also highlighted the pressure that artists face in trying to be mindful of everyone’s sentiments. He emphasized that the fear of unintentionally fueling further division has caused artists to second-guess their every move. He criticized special interest and political groups for using artists’ public image as a chess piece to further their own agendas. Dhillon, like many artists, aims to create art that transcends barriers and helps people on an individual level, regardless of their background, race, religion, nationality, or gender.
The singer implored his followers to spread love instead of hate and encouraged them to start thinking for themselves rather than letting hateful influences program their beliefs. According to Dhillon, unity is the key to the future, as man-made social constructs have only led to division and strife.
In the midst of these discussions surrounding division, another Canada-based singer, Shubh, was recently forced to cancel his India tour due to backlash over his alleged support for Khalistan and separatists in the past. This incident further adds to the complexity of tensions between the two countries.
As the diplomatic tensions between India and Canada continue to unfold, artists like AP Dhillon are using their platforms to address important issues and advocate for unity over division. It remains to be seen how these discussions will shape public opinion and influence the course of diplomatic relations between the two nations.
