Biden and Harris Could Be Bad News for India’s Modi

U.S. Sen. Kamala Harris after being introduced by Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden as his running mate in Wilmington, Delaware, on Aug. 12.

Indian Americans love Kamala Harris. The daughter of an Indian biologist who moved to the United States and became one of the country’s most respected cancer researchers, Harris embodies the values of hard work, intellectual accomplishment, and political engagement. As a U.S. senator, she pushed for immigration policies favored by the Indian American community, including a lifting of country caps on H1-B temporary employment visas and the retention of employment rights for spouses of H1-B visa holders. And Indian Americans are understandably proud to see one of their own rising to the top of the U.S. political system.

But good for Indian Americans does not necessarily mean good for the current government of India. On the contrary: The Biden team’s priorities (from what we know so far) are likely to drive a wedge between the United States and continental Asia’s oldest democracy at a time when Washington is looking for new allies in its strategic rivalry with China.


Harris may be a part of that wedge herself. As senator, Harris has been diplomatically circumspect in her few public comments about India’s government but has shown no love for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Last year, she even publicly criticized Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar while he was on an official visit to the United States. Jaishankar had refused to share a platform with U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal, the Indian American sponsor of a House of Representatives resolution calling out the Indian government for its policies in Kashmir.

Not probably. It is confirmed and assured.

harris probably detest india more than white folk.

She probably faced some discrimination from her community for being half-Black. Then there is the fact that Modi is a nationalist chauvinist which draws ire from liberals which Harris is. Also, the fact that the BJP is made up of largely more Northern Hindustani chauvinists who probably are discriminatory towards South Indians, which Harris is descended from.

Tamils love Pakistan. Kamala will be no different.

Remember that the power behind Kalama is a Pakistani by the name Dr. Asif Mahmood. Without him, Kamala is nothing.

It is already happening.

Modi is a ten 10 time bad trump in many ways. She may take tougher stance but it won't matter. She's VP. What will matter is what uncle joe thinks and does.

Biden-Harris will definitely be vocal about human rights and the clampdown on free movement and Internet in Kashmir. They will also be vocal against CAA - which I personally think violates the Indian Constitution. But they are preferable than Trump who was a loose canon - the man would say something in the morning and the exact opposite in the evening.

So what you are saying is that they are "Barking dogs" and not "biting dogs".

I agree since they need to provide "hope" to their isamic voters, same as imran khan who supposedly gives "excellent speeches" on the issue too.

 

[CrazyZ]

Rubbish. I remember when they said Obama would be good for Pakistan. He was in fact one of the most hostile. Wait and see is best.

They have internal politics to contend with too. So if Modi keeps pushing his divisive agenda, they will act. He will have to rein it in. Overall, far better than having that orange idiot at the helm.

Modi is doing what the people of India has VOTED him to do.

So NO, Modi does not answer to US president , however hard you may wish for that to happen.

You can bet that they will "act", "acting" and "kadi ninda" is what they do best, especially when it comes to appeasing their minor islamic vote bank. LOL.

Reality is that they will speak because of the pressure from the Christian Evangelists in the US who is smarting under the BJP policy of restricting their activities in India and crack down on their paid Sepoy and illegal funding to such activities. That has very little to do with the islamists.

I think, he is the same guy.

Pakistan is my biggest worry - not Iran or Afghanistan, warns U.S. vice president Joe Biden

In an interview with CNN's Larry King Live program, the U.S. vice president said that Al Qaeda was moving in the direction of smaller but 'devastatingly frightening' attacks.

Lol. Modi doesn't even answer Indian citizens. The moron just keeps spewing nonsense with his Mann ki Baat and posing with peacocks and parrots.

Democrats have very little following in the Evangelical populace.

Evangelicals carry considerable clout in the Congress and Senate so they regularly use the US presidency to push their agenda.

It was the democrat Bill Clinton who signed the legislation " International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 " during the last days of his presidency that gives US right to preach "religious freedom" to India while this Act deliberately ignores acts of religious intolerence within the US itself.

It was obama who came and preached "religious freedom" which is dog wistle for christian evangelicals in India.

Ever hear Trump preach "religious freedom" in India ? or China ?

It is always the democrats who cater to the fringe religious elements in the US< islamic or xtian.

As for Modi, Bihar election result should be a slap in the face of all those who doubt Modi's conversation with the masses.

He does not need to "talk" when his Actions and deeds does the real talking.

Last days of his Presidency? More than 2 years of his term was left.

Evangelicals have clout mostly with the Republican Senators and Congress Reps, not with Democrats. Look it up.

Lol @ Modi. The fact that the moron refuses to give press conferences and ran away from the Karan Thapar interview should be a slap on his face and those of his supporters.
