THAT was a sweet 47 seconds!
Being very close to the American South Asian community for a long time, I would say they have supported dems by and large for the past three decades.
President Trump appearing with PM Modi is huge. This kind of crowd, with this kind of response? Amazing. So good to see.
I’ve always thought South Asian people, on the whole, have principles much more attuned to conservatives rather than liberals. YMMV.
My firm has offices in Mumbai- literally everyone in that office is a Modi supporter. They are not American style conservatives, but they are in tune. (Don’t get the 2A for example.)
Traditional Hindu values are similar to what we think of, especially in regards to personal responsibility, all the basic moral principles, and the like.
One of the problems is that the Congress Party which ruled India for decades was basically very socialist and of course very corrupt. They actually prevented traditional moral values as expressed in Hindu teachings, from being taught is schools, as they had been done before. Modi re-instituted that with his education minister.
