Racial crime in the west has become a reason for anxiety among the Indian students, after a navy veteran was charged with murder for shooting two Indian software engineers at a crowded bar in Olathe, Kansas. The crime triggered anger and concern that the Trump-era US is no longer secure for the Indian masses. The assailant, Adam Purinton is accused of killing Srinivas Kuchibhotla, and wounding Alok Madasani, both who were admitted to work for a global tech company on H-1B visas after completing graduate studies in the United States.
Anupam Singh, a master’s student at the Indian Institute of Technology in India stated that, “I would be scared to study in the US after watching the news about hate crimes”, reaffirming that US isn’t a hospitable place for foreign students. Dhriti Ahluwalia, also a master’s student, used to believe that there was greater racial equality in the US compared to India, but now there is racism and people are afraid. Graduate students said they were changing their postgraduate plans from the United States to universities in Canada or Australia. This situation emerges as a sad change, especially since the number of international students at U.S. universities topped 1 million last year, according to the Institute of International Education, with the number of Indians up 14 percent.
Tension over the U.S. political climate bagan with the rhetoric-charged presidential campaign, and the under-current is being in India as well. Many students want to apply to elite schools on the coasts, but they don’t want to look at schools in the middle of the country, in the red states. A study by two international-student recruiting companies before the election found that 60 percent of 40,000 students surveyed in 118 countries would be less inclined to come to the United States if Trump won, compared with 3.8 percent who would be less inclined if Hillary Clinton won. Indians are also uneasy about possible future limitations on both student permissions as well as H-1B visas, the foreign visas for highly skilled workers.
Meanwhile, Srinivas’ wife, Sunayana Dumala wonders what the US government will do to stop hate crimes and the father of Alok Madasani, the Indian injured in the attack, appealed from the Indian city of Hyderabad to “all parents in India” not to send their children to the United States under present circumstances.
They SHOULD feel threatened!! It’s dangerous over here guys!!!
Stay in India!!! Dont take H1Bs. They’re not worth your life!!
Well India is much safer if you stay in your own Caste ,stray out and your life expectancy is about 5 minutes
Other articles report that the killer, Purinton, was a drunk who bounced from job to job after his father died and had no history of racism. I think we’re in for at least 4 years of Libs turning any killing by a white man of a minority into a national news hate crime.
I had not heard of this and that area is not all that far from me. Shocking. Glad they caught him.
That being said, I’ve worked with many of these types of guys. However, it has become fashionable the U.S. to not hire and train American workers for such jobs. Especially since 2008 or so.
But that in no way justifies this type of deadly assault.
Pres. Trump should announce, We are opening our Embassy and Consulates in India for 12 hours for anyone to get VISA for USA” . I can bet riots will start in India around US Embassies and Consulates.
After end of the day , we may see numbers in thousands died in stampede in Indian cities.
I think this is another caste of a reporter creating a story.
I don’t believe they fear anything except sending them back home.
Indians are also uneasy about possible future limitations on both student permissions as well as H-1B visas, the foreign visas for highly skilled workers.
CNN is at work with their agenda.
Regarding the murder, our judicial system should take care of that. What is the story on that?
India probably loses 100,000 a year just due to disease from raw sewage in the streets.
Utter nonsense.
Back it up with data. Have applications to Universities gone down since last week?
Where is the data?
FAKE NEWS
Hindu Indians and Sikhs are mostly very good, law abiding people. But honestly, we have way too many foreigners (legal and illegal) in this country.
We should halt ALL immigration into the USA for at least twenty years. We also need to make sure that VISA holders do not over extend their stay when it expires. No other country on earth puts up with this VISA abuse.
Just go to India with a bible or talk about Christ and feel the love!
Yeah, that Mother Teresa sure learned her lesson!
Nevermind that India is the rape capital of the entire world.
Little girls are kept in cages all day long waiting for the highest paying bidder by the hour.
What hypocrites!
4 years?
We’ve been experiencing it for over 8 so far.
I agree. This news is not news at all. It is a story that fits the agenda. Agenda driven news is fake news.
“We should halt ALL immigration into the USA for at least twenty years. “
I’ve been saying that very thing for a long time. Americans have been brainwashed into thinking that immigration is a good thing and it’s virtuous to allow your country to be overrun by hordes of third world immigrants who offer nothing but parasitism. Too much white peoples guilt of which I have none.
Would they feel safer in India? lol
I forget that there are still many backwards areas there.
We are spoiled here, which is the source of many of our problems.
Not that we don’t work hard, too many groups think they have it hard when they have NO IDEA!
