.. “The US and India have a very good relationship, and it’s deepening by the day,” says Sujan Chinoy, director-general of Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses in New Delhi. “The Chinese think that is not normal, but our logic is that this is none of China’s business.” .... “We are allies in all but name,” says Menon, the former Indian official. “The US is not going to come and fight for every inch of Indian territory, but we can do everything allies do short of defending each other.”

India should beware of Biden and Obama. They seem to be joined at the hip with China.

IMO, it is India that is a bigger threat to the US than say, Russia or China, in the long run. India has 10% of the world’s Muslims.

Neither Russia nor China presently has anything to offer India.
America and others offer trade. India needs trade.

"End H-1B first then we can talk our “relationship”." Too true. India is infiltrating the United States with the help of monolithic, multinational corporations.

America and others offer trade. India needs trade.America doesn't need anymore trade. Make it here, do it now. Or kiss America good-bye.

I think India’s just patiently waiting for Trump to return.
They know they’re going to be used as a proxy in a war against China.

As a neo isolationist, you have no authority to make such a statement. There is a world beyond the perimeter of your rock and American business and industry thrive on the trade with that world.
Americans have been world traders since before they were Americans

India may have 10% of the world’s muslims, but it is a majority Hindu country.
And Hindus really, really dislike Muslims - I mean the Jewish dislike for Muslims is super mild compared to the Hindu hatred for Islam

Yes,I think that H-1B visas stink to high heavens. But they’re not India’s fault. They’re the fault of Rats who are looking for new voters and RINOs who are looking for cheap labor. A lot like our southern border.
To: central_va
H1B is a US visa type. India can’t end it - it is the US who can do that

I hear you. But that 10% is over 100,000,000 of the World’s Muslims. India has either outpaced China in population or is slated to do so very soon.

It’s already there.
Current India population: 1,430,734,323
Current China population: 1,425,594,417
I remember a story posted here a month or two ago when it happened.

There are 2,000 million Muslims globally
India has 197 million Muslims - so approx 10% as you stated.
That is 14.23% of the Indian population is Muslim
