In short:

Police have seized five posters depicting world leaders in Nazi-like uniforms from the window of a Canberra bar.

The bar was declared a crime scene and was forced to close, while the artist says the works are "clearly satirical".

What's next?

The bar owner says the images are "demonstrably anti-fascist" and that he has no regrets about displaying them.

OK I'm not that well informed about current politics in India, but I have observed Modi is not exactly stellar, I began to notice because they have completely abstained from denouncing the Russian invasion and war crimes in Ukraine.

It may be far fetched regarding Canada, but we know from many other situations that a mix of culture is better than mono culture, especially from work places, where a mix of men and women generally create a better work environment than 100% men or 100% women.
So I'm not saying that the French are better, just that the fact that there are 2 groups, may help prevent exceptionalism by either group to get out of hand. Like it has done in USA and UK. But of course Canada doesn't have the megalomaniac mindset of UK from being the former mightiest colonial power, or USA from being the global leading military power and economy for nearly a century.

I think such things may not be good for the national mentality. Too bad that USA didn't focus on promoting human rights and democracy instead of military power and trying to benefit from it.
