All administrations will see the world through the prism of US national security interests and India’s importance – with or without Modi – will weigh heavily.
US Presidential candidate Joe Biden said he would prohibit US companies from abetting repression and supporting the Chinese Communist Party’s 'surveillance state'.
While a slim majority believe Trump can handle the economy better, Biden is viewed by more Americans as a good role model, honest and someone who cares.
The alleged Russian bounties have swiftly emerged as another political crisis for the President already struggling with the Covid outbreak and Black Lives Matter protests.
Trump's approach of deriding his predecessor offers an escape from issues such as his handling of Covid and also drags down his 2020 Democratic opponent, Joe Biden.
Trump is staking his re-election hopes on the claim that he’s ably handled the pandemic & that voters secretly prefer his 'law and order' approach to countering the BLM protests.
Powell joins a number of prominent retired military officials and current and former lawmakers to criticise Trump, although not all have said they’ll vote Biden.
Sidekicks are quintessential in Bollywood, and every few years, when a star or lead shines, a filmmaker reminds us that the person next to the hero is a key ingredient in the recipe.
SEBI probe concluded that purported loans and fund transfers were paid back in full and did not amount to deceptive market practices or unreported related party transactions.
While the IAF remains committed to the Tejas programme and has placed orders for 180 Tejas Mk1A, the force is eagerly waiting for the Tejas Mk 2 version.
Many really smart people now share the position that playing cricket with Pakistan is politically, strategically and morally wrong. It is just a poor appreciation of competitive sport.
like Trump has an eye on Indian American votes, so does Joe Biden has an eye on Indian American voters. Even then “Joe Biden wants New Delhi to take necessary steps to restore rights of all Kashmiris and has expressed disappointment over the Citizenship (Amendment) Act as well as the implementation of the National Register of Citizens in Assam.” The same issue is also flagged by the UN Human Right Commission. To say that they, or Pramila Jayapal, or Ro Khanna lack “an understanding of the ground situation in Kashmir” wouldn’t do. They all believe they have a good understanding of what is going on in Kashmir. Jayapal and Khanna has as their constituents Kashmiri immigrants and citizens, with whom they talk. To this group you can also add Senator Kamala Harris. At one point she had suggested “intervention” in Kashmir! Why foreign minister and Indian ambassador Jaishankar have failed to convince even the Indian American legislators? Jaishankar objected to the presence of Jayapal on the Hill when he was scheduled to address some other reps. Senator Kamala Harris had at once said that he couldn’t object to the presence opf any rep anywhere on the Hill. They have also failed to convince publications like New York Times (NYT) and Washington Post (WP) about India’s policies in Kashmir, and toward the minorities. Harsh Vardhan Shringla had tried to talk to NYT, but didn’t succeed. He gave up just saying they are biased! Why? Democratic Senator Chris Van Buren was not allowed to visit Kashmir. Why? He was very critical of India for this kind of treatment. And powerful Republican Senator Lindsey Graham is out an out pro-Pakistan!
Biden may have sad, “he would lift the temporary suspension of H-1B visas imposed by Trump”, but powerful Democratic Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois is DEAD SET AGAINST foreigners taking away American jobs.. Biden would have to work with him, and others like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, who have been critical of India. Just saying they lack “an understanding of the ground situation in Kashmir” wouldn’t do. Somebody has to convince them what is “the ground situation in Kashmir”.
Yes, Biden would be looking at America’s national interest, and wouldn’t ignore India, the world’s largest democracy. It may not be enough to say, “A good example is harking back to Pakistan’s demand for “plebiscite” in Kashmir, something, which a cursory reading of history would explain as to why it wasn’t held.” For whatever reason the “plebiscite” wasn’t held has nothing to do with the people’s right for self-determination. Nor would “whataboutery” do.
Biden may not want to see the Democratic Party turn into Britain’s Labour, but it is happening. Notice Biden has attacked India on Kashmir, CAA, NCP, and increased defense spending. Biden’s family takes money from China. Biden wants to return to US-China status quo, which is bad for India. So, his campaign makes a shallow and insulting giveaway to Indians on H1Bs. Crumbs for the kingdom, is Biden’s direction for Indo-US relations. Whoever, his VP is more likely to hold anti-India policies.
You’re a liar. I am an American. And that is pure lies.
You are an American and you read The Print……..I don’t have words for you……
Trump was only friendly to Modi because of all the ego boost he was getting through massive crowds in India. Otherwise Trump properly arm twisted Modi regarding trade concessions.
It is better for two democracies to be friends rather than two strong men.
Is Joe Biden is a pro Chinese??
Biden will love the Indian people. Trump is a horrible conman and is corrupt. Most Americans hate Trump. Trump wants to use Indians for cheap labor.

In the whole article the poor author tries to defend the indefensible and ends up with the classic hope and prayer
BIDEN IS TOO CONFUSED AND IS A PRO CHINA MAN

I won’t be surprised if Trump gets more than 40% of Hindu American vote come Nov. There is considerable Hindu consolidation in the many cities.
