Partially a good analysis. All what Indian communities has to do is to walk out of Democratic Party. Until then, they won’t listen.This isnt just Indians, even the Chinese punch below their weight in USA (though they punch a lot harder than Indians do because they are not as much liberandu as indians are). The reason being, we are mostly businessmen and STEM job workers, where we cannot threaten much, given that the blowback directly affects our jobs.
The muslim population has far bigger leeway, as they usually run corner stores, drive cabs and work construction- these jobs you don't have to worry about getting fired from if you engage in wrongthink.
The Indian community is fractured in the west, because you can basically draw two neat lines, around 2000 and 2014 to divide the community in three discrete categories.
Those who came pre-2000 ( my cohort) are complete simps for USA and they have swallowed the entire koolaid of western liberal order's supremacy and are the true house negroes of the west. Most of the ' mudi must rejine, Indian democracy is backsliding' and such anti-India western cooligiri is done by people of this cohort. This cohort is the real danger for India, as these guys will back US and western world order to the hilt and make any number of excuses for them and will also throw india under the bus.
Those that came pre 2014 are the middle ground ones - ones who do not hold 'western supremacy' as a given and aren't particularly trustful of murrican narratives but they are not interested in sticking their necks out very much but they act like 'silent majority' voters, who will make their presence felt in the polling booth.
Then you have the group that is post 2014 arrivals, who are the true patriots of India and will actually stick their necks out the most to defend India and criticise the west.
And sure enough, this three groups also have descending order of how much they stand to lose by challenging the western narrative, as the first cohort are now mostly 50+ and well established with a LOT to lose ( and also afraid of change as they are getting old), the middle cohort are young professionals who are not that powerful but also have less to lose and the last cohort has the least to lose.
