What will be the policy of india on one side we are seeing free fall in relationship with China and on the other side potentially New US Government can really turn the screws against india by supporting Pakistan to some level and by making ill actions against india on kashmir and all.
Which was the last US government that turned the screws on India? I guess in Pokharan era.
Bush administration has made sure that US can't lose hard earned goodwill with India. That being said they'll continue to balance the relationship with both India & Pak.

Nothing to do with bush or tree. It's simply related to economic and geopolitical goals.
When india was sanctioned for doing nuclear tests. Meanwhile Pakistan was gaining free weapons from USA it was the same bush administration which made Pakistan major non nato ally.

Heck this is how you protect goodwill? Americans don't care about goodwill and democracy bs. They have only their own agenda in the region and in economic sector if you can promote that then you will get all the love which you need.
US justified F-16 sale to Pakistan in 2008 as deterrence against India

Taking extreme measure against india on kashmir will not be a free ride for Americans too.

Pakistan would have been much more dangerous today if wouldn't have supported them lamo ? Looks like this guy is high the most dangerous asset which porks have is free F-16 the money which USA provided was used to kill thousands of Indian's through jihad which was started in 90s. Pakistan wouldn't be a capable nuclear country if Americans were not having blind eyes towards them in past. and the statement that US patience is wearing of is also wrong. The reality is Americans can't really match Chinese influence on Pakistan with China pouring billions of dollar in that area and india's economic factor also comes into play they don't wanna hurt relationship with india not because of some kind of sweet love or bush or tree loves the curry it's simply because it will hurt interest of Americans.

I don't have any love lost for Americans, I know they don't like India but at the moment they do need us when their influence is fading in Asia. They are most selfish bunch in the world & they know how to play the long game.
Indian policy is always right regarding Americans we never have & never will trust Americans.
At the current juncture both somehow have got their ambitions allied. We always know who is next after China.

I think we are steering on a course of conflict and war. Prima facie Biden Harris ticket looks really bad. All we hope now is that she does not win.

A statement on Joe Biden's website:
Biden will support family-based immigration and preserve family unification as a core principle of our immigration system, which includes reducing the family visa backlog. He will increase the number of visas offered for permanent, work-based immigration based on macroeconomic conditions and exempt from any cap recent graduates of PhD programs in STEM fields. And, he will support first reforming the temporary visa system for high-skill, specialty jobs to protect wages and workers, then expanding the number of visas offered and eliminating the limits on employment-based green cards by country, which have kept so many Indian families in waiting for too long.
Biden played a lead role, both as Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and as Vice President, in systematically deepening our strategic engagement, people-to-people ties, and collaboration with India on global challenges. In 2006, Biden announced his vision for the future of U.S.-India relations: “My dream is that in 2020, the two closest nations in the world will be India and the United States.” He has also worked to make that vision a reality, including leading the charge in Congress, working with Democrats and Republicans, to approve the U.S.-India Civil Nuclear Agreement in 2008.
Recognizing India’s growing role on the world stage, the Obama-Biden Administration formally declared U.S. support for India’s membership in a reformed and expanded United Nations Security Council. The Obama-Biden Administration also named India a “Major Defense Partner” – a status approved by the Congress – to ensure that when it comes to the advanced and sensitive technology that India needs to strengthen its military, India is treated on par with our closest partners.
As the world’s oldest and largest democracies, the United States and India are bound together by our shared democratic values: fair and free elections, equality under the law, and the freedom of expression and religion. These core principles have endured throughout each of our nations’ histories and will continue to be the source of our strength in the future.

A liberalized, meritocratic immigration system would be of great benefit to India. It would enhance knowledge transfer and partnerships between the United States and India, expand opportunities for Indians, and increase remittances to India. The prevalence of Indian immigrants in technology, medicine, and corporate leadership has created incredible soft power for India. Trump and Biden are trying to out-do each in their support of India because of that soft power and the sizable Indian-American electorate.

No, all it does is more efficient brain drain. With the kind of total assimilation Indians tend to do in foreign countries, there will be no benefit for Indians in India, just constant pillaging of talent.

Indians turn American within one generation and then work in shafting India or at least put their adopted country's interest above their native one. The leadership don't need to cater to India if the immigrants themselves are not interested.

Sleepy Joe had 30 odd years to change American policies. Heck he had the Obummer era to change immigration policy. Yet he did zilch to help immigrants like Indians. Instead he put much effort on helping illegal wetback Mexican hombres to get US citizenship. Illegal immigration or immigration in general tends to lower wages. It is better that US takes care of its own homeless rather than caring about immigrants.

On a more serious note immigration has always had a deleterious effect on the native populace. It helps the top 1% and the ultra rich as it provides them with a cheap source of labour. The ultra rich can then suppress wages and worker's rights. Demon rats claim to help the working class but actually work for the top 1% and use subterfuge and Machiavellian tactics to keep the working class in check.

Immigrants are enormously beneficial to American society. People who voluntarily immigrate to the United States are disproportionately ambitious, healthiest, energetic. They must be in order to make in the U.S. Many borrow money from family in order to finance a U.S. education or pay the bills until they get a steady job, at which point they can send remittances back home so there is a strong incentive to work hard and stay out of trouble. Immigrants create international connections that open new trade routes. They bring language and cultural skills which benefit American businesses.

Diplo talk which adds no real world value to India-US relationships beyond what already exists.

Not his team’s fault, they already know that most of the Indian Americans vote is in their pocket, so why bother.

Pakistani Americans are doing a much better job at getting what they want done, they are even influencing american foreign policy.

What are Paki Americans doing? We are told in Indian media that Indian lobby is far more influential than Paki one. Are we being taken for a ride?

Paki Americans are well networked with their foreign policy lobby groups, when needed they work their phones to their senators & congress members, and give them hundreds of calls each.

Attend rallies, promote Pakistan’s foreign policy narratives on social media, influence committee hearings In WDC. etc etc. this is how “Muslims under threat in India” and “Kashmiris under threat in India” narratives get built in Washington.

Indians on the other hand stick to one primary issue I.e economy relationship with India.

These are the kind of people U.S and especially democratic party take their inputs on India from.
almost all india experts fall in the same category.

So @AmyKazmin has spent 20 years in India and has not once seen the most standard oath-taking stance in India. But.. she actually CROPPED the part of the caption that said they were taking an oath.

Never attribute to ignorance what you can to malice.
