On the other hand, India's lines of trade with Japan and the Americas traverse a couple of straits in Indonesia. Any intelligent Indian (here or in India) knows that Indonesia is a potential threat against peaceful commerce.
And you can't say the Indonesians aren't dangerous ~ the Dutch would tell you otherwise, and the hundreds of thousands of Dutch-Indonesians in America can provide you details.
But last time I checked American Indians have no say in dictating the foreign or domestic policy of India. If us ex-IITians, who migrated to US in larger number, had our way, we’d definitely do away with affirmative action in higher ed schools.
