Soft Target: How the Indian Intelligence Service Penetrated Canada is a non-fiction book written by Zuhair Kashmeri and Brian McAndrew suggesting that the bombing of Air India Flight 182 was the work of Indian intelligence agencies as part of a governmental anti-Sikh propaganda campaign.

The book's concerns were addressed by the official "Commission of Inquiry into the Investigation of the Bombing of Air India Flight 182"[1], which concluded that Talwinder Singh Parmar was 'falsely' convicted of a conspiracy to bomb Air India flights.

Reaction

The Telegraph newspaper reported that the book was banned in India for "obvious reasons".[2]
