Since BJP controls the GoI, all GoI has to do is not recognize Eric Garcetti and declare him persona non grata and that'll be the end of it. It will send a strong message to the US that it will brook no foreign interference with the domestic and political affairs of India.
Fortunately or unfortunately diplomacy doesn't work that way and is a game of politics and handling delicate issues with tact and finesse. Garcetti will make noises not just because of his master's ideology but also because he has ambitions of becoming the President someday, so he will take the opportunity to crack the whip harder. That said, i am surprised the Biden administration took nearly two and a half years to name a ambassador, i was expecting someone like Garcetti in early 2021, so who knows maybe GoI did convey its displeasure to the US administration in private.

Garcetti’s behaviour and modus operandi after he comes here will let us know how much of appetite sections of US establishment still has for China.

if the pro-china section is still in control in US, he will pursue sub-nationalism agenda.

if not, his behaviour will be in line with other ambassadors these days.

US ambassadors are not necessarily relevant when it comes to US foreign policy. The ambassadorship position is given as a reward for doners and political allies. Garcetti's appointment is of little relevance and whatever his personal views may be will take a backseat to greater strategic backdrop of the US fighting to retain its influence from a rising China.

With the China-brokered agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran showing cracks in the US regional coalition, the US will be under greater pressure to accommodate Indian interests in order to limit Chinese influence.
or And what if recent rapprochement between Iran and Saudi Arabia facilitated by China - is seen by deep state and demos as part of agreed upon China maneuver under G2?

I strongly doubt it. The whole concept of G2 is that the US and China will work in harmony to resolve global issues. What the US meant by that is for China to adopt the same viewpoints as the US and use its economic power to help enforce the US order that places US interests first. It's in the same line of delusional thinking that a prosperous China will inevitably become a liberal Western-aligned democracy.

The Chinese perspective was that the US will cede to China its "rightful" sphere of influence i.e. the US cedes global hegemony without a fight. The most important part of the sphere is the rest of East Asia, namely the first island chain, that China views as non-negotiable.

When China began increasing the power of its navy and made aggressive moves in the East and South China Sea, the G2 view began to fall apart in the US as they realized what a rising China truly entails. For the US, what is essential to national security is control over the Atlantic, Pacific, and Latin America. By controlling the first island chain, the US restricts China's ability to contest control of the Pacific. Should China gain control, their greater economy will allow them to control the Pacific and project power into Latin America, forcing the US to focus on its own hemisphere and be unable to be hegemon over the rest of the world. So I believe a US-China conflict is inevitable.

That the US does not take the Chinese threat as seriously as it should and has alienated allies over human rights, giving China opportunity to expand its influence, is due to arrogance and foreign policy failure, not any G2 agreement.

I think the worry about this guy is oversold. Regardless of what he says in answers to questions usually , this is pretty much the most difficult government to try that stunt with. Robin Raphel learnt that lesson in the 1990's with a much weaker country and government. Unless he wants to become another Abdul Basit, he will stick to doing his job and not do any kite flying.

What can the US do against the Chinese and Muslims?
US is now run (into the ground) by Catholics. Catholics are not top dog amongst their black and white Nazi Tao/chi/ki/yin/yang religion.

Look how the Muslims were able to run off the Catholic people from the ME and Central Asia. Catholics just hide amongst others.

US/UK down, Islam and Chi/Ki up.

Chutiya sh!trican bhosad & their typical interference in other countries.

One of the reason why I hate this American randihole & their harami deep state especially these brown "wannabe white" maggots along with their larpers in India to the core even more than chinks & paki roaches.

I really hope their piglet Ukraine lose big in the war & entire sh!trican banking sector along with petrodollar economy go down the drain

Katora leke bheekh maange ye r@ndi ke pille aur phir bhi koi inhe bheekh naa de.

Then he should know that this whole thing was initiated by a private citizen not by GoI and done by an independent branch, the judiciary, aided by the fact that Rahul Gandhi refused to apologize or defend himself in court. He was rather contemptuous of the whole affair which is why the court threw the book at him.

Current american regime of Biden has indicted a popular opposition figure & former president via a soros trained district attorney. While this is happening three state assemblies have been occupied by fringe left pro transvestite groups aided & abetted by the regime. This is happening in the backdrop of the murder of 6 theist people including three children by a transvestite terrorist.

Biden's attempt to imprison the highly popular opposition figure is a major threat to democracy. Several intellectuals have said that this is a step in the wrong direction. The voices of opposition figures are being stifled & various agencies are harassing anti Biden political figures.

I hope the MEA takes "note" & "stock" of the situation.

Some of us have friends or relatives in USA & we hope that freedom/democracy are restored soon by freeing all political prisoners.
