Welcome aboard!
And he might have added ... “Finally, since hundreds of millions (accurate figure) of my fellow Hindus have over the centuries been murdered by Muslims who else can I support?”
Hindus and Muslims don’t really get along do they?
Thank you for that article! I really enjoyed reading it.
God bless you.
Hinduism metaphysically is the opposite of monotheism, but much of its ethics, with the three stages of life (student, householder, elderhood) and personal family orientation, is very compatible with the traditional American lifestyle. The types of Indians who are willing to move from there to America are similar to all those in previous generations who came to America as a land of opportunity, and they have generally made very good use of that opportunity. It is amazing to me that they are not all Republicans, but identity politics have kept them from understanding who their true friends in American politics are.
Good karma.
Modern Hindu belief has seen a lot of Christian influence through the colonial days of Britain, even though we still sometimes see tragic conflicts between Hindu and Christian believers in India itself. This influence has helped focus this belief on more progressive and western-friendly ideas.
I know there are fears in the Indian business community that Donald will reduce the incidence of H1B contracting in America. Maybe he will try to do that or maybe he won’t. But larger trade with India itself does not need to be imperiled. The kind of trade that makes sense is where two countries share their blessings with one another in roughly equal measure, leaving neither chronically beholden to the other in an asymmetrical relationship. The idea of procuring “cheap junk” while producing nothing to trade back in return, has turned America more and more idle, and this cannot be a trend that Donald would encourage.
