Thank you for the analysis. Indian brilliance has been enormously important for US tech companies. Will they react by moving more work overseas or by developing more US talent. Overall the most interesting question to me is why Modi is so addicted to taking Russian oil. His cozing up to a Russia at war with the west is the key reason for the 50% tariff rate. Surely the damage to the rest of Indias economy is greater than the oil discount. As long as he continues to buy Russin oil there isn’t going to be a lot of sympathy.

What a useless article by a self hating "secular" Hindu, doesn't even qualify as a propaganda piece. All this hue and cry is being created by a small class of mainly South Indians who's only goal in life was fleeing to the West. The vast majority of Indians are least bothered by this H1B decision by the fool Trump, who by the time his term ends will anyway take America down several levels.

America does not owe Indians a living. It is for America - and only America - to decide how many or how few immigrants it wants, and where those people will come from. No one else has any say in the matter. Why was an article moaning and whining about America's decision to reduce the number of Indian migrants it accepts posted on this site?

Yup, it's up to 'Murica whether it wants to destroy its own economy and relevance in the world, and personally I'm glad it's doing a great job of doing so.

This is just the beginning. Mass deportations and de-naturalisations of foreigners will be coming all across the west. They are rightly seen as both unwanted and as a threat by the native populations. Globalisation is on the decline. Nationalism is the future.

Yes, the West will cause its own destruction by turning inwards,, just as it starts to need an increasing number of workers for jobs its own citizens are too lazy and/or unqualified to do. Incestuous autarky has worked so well for North Korea, no wonder dumb yanks want to copy it 🐷🀣

Uncivilized 3rd worlders can’t create 1st world societies due to low IQ, Low trust, and low impulse control. You cant even keep yourself or your environment clean. No we dont need you, quite the opposite.
