How long did the bombing of a Toronto–Montreal–London–Delhi route of Air India have an effect on Canada-India relations for?
about 20 years
Canada–India relations
Canada–India relations, or Indo-Canadian relations, are the longstanding bilateral relations between Canada and the Republic of India, which are built upon a "mutual commitment to democracy", "pluralism", and "people-to-people links", according to the government of Canada.
 In 2009, bilateral trade between India and Canada was at about C$4.14 billion.
 Most notably, the bombing of Air India Flight 182 by Canadian residents, killing a vast quantity of Canadian citizens, had effects on relations for about 20 years.
 India's Smiling Buddha nuclear test added strains to the relationship between the two nations, with allegations that India broke the terms of the Colombo Plan.
 Although Jean Chrétien and Roméo LeBlanc both visited India in the late 1990s, relations were again halted, albeit temporarily, after the Pokhran-II tests.
 India and Canada are taking steps to become strategic partners, with Prime Minister Stephen Harper making a state visit in 2012.
 Both are former British colonies and full members of the Commonwealth of Nations, with Canada being home to one of the largest Indian diasporas in the world.
Air India Flight 182
Air India Flight 182 was an Air India flight operating on the Toronto–Montreal–London–Delhi route.
 On 23 June 1985, the Boeing 747-237B serving the flight (c/n 21473/330, registration VT-EFO , "Emperor Kanishka") was destroyed by a bomb at an altitude of 31000 ft .
 It crashed into the Atlantic Ocean while in Irish airspace.
 It was the first bombing of a 747 jumbo jet.
 A total of 329 people were killed, including 268 Canadian citizens, 27 British citizens and 24 Indian citizens.
 The incident was the largest mass murder in Canadian history, and the deadliest incident in the history of Air India.
 It was the deadliest terrorist attack involving an airplane until the September 11, 2001, attacks.
 The bombing of Air India 182 occurred at the same time as the Narita Airport bombing.
 Investigators believe that the two plots were linked, and that those responsible were aiming for a double bombing.
 However, the bomb at Narita exploded before it could be loaded onto the plane.

The Haj subsidy is a subsidy given to Indian Muslim Hajj pilgrims by the Government of India in form of discounted Air fares on Indian Government owned Air India.
 The program has its origins in British colonial era.
 In post-colonial era, the Government of India expanded the program in 1959 with the Hajj Act.
 The subsidy initially applied to Indian Muslim pilgrims traveling for religious reasons to Saudi Arabia, Syria, Iraq, Iran and Jordan.
 Haj subsidy started in 1954, as an idea initiated by the then government, with flights between Mumbai and Jeddah.
 Additional flight legs were added over the years, and since 1984, all Haj traffic has been shared by Air India and Saudia, the national carriers of India and Saudi Arabia.The monopoly of these airlines has proven the most contentious point of the subsidy with some Muslims objecting to it by claiming that the real beneficiary is Air India as the subsidy is actually a discount on an overpriced air fare.
 There have also been requests by Muslims to withdraw subsidy including some Muslim Parliament members as it is against Islam even it was beneficial. Air India
