Bobby Jindal: India Is Desperate for American Leadership

Bobby Jindal, the Indian-American candidate for the 2016 presidential election in the U.S., has said that India is “desperate and hungry for American leadership” and an administration run by him would work closely with it and other non-aligned countries.
Mr. Jindal, the Republican governor of Louisiana who announced his candidacy late last month, said in an interview with Fox News on Friday that his foreign policy would be based on a belief that the U.S. is unique in the world.
“We’re unabashed to say so. It’s not arrogance to say that we are a special country and that we are going to protect our interests and our allies,” he added.
“In China, we would work not only with our allies, like Japan and South Korea and Taiwan. We’d work with non-aligned countries like India and Vietnam that are desperate and hungry for American leadership,” he said.
India’s relationship with the U.S. has been warming in recent months after bilateral visits by both leaders in the past year.
A recent survey of Indian attitudes to the U.S. found that almost 75% of Indian respondents said they had confidence in President Barack Obama, compared with 48% a year ago, the biggest change of heart from any country surveyed, according to the Washington-based Pew Research Center.
Mr. Jindal, whose parents moved to the U.S. from India four decades ago, is presenting himself as a strongly conservative candidate who is tough on spending, pro-life and in favor of relaxations on gun laws across the country.
He points to his record in Louisiana, where he has cut the state budget and government jobs, as the template for what he would do as president.
If he were elected, Mr. Jindal would be the first Indian-American president, but he is keen to avoid the label.
“I’m tired of hyphenated Americans. We’re not Irish-Americans or Indian-Americans or African-Americans or rich Americans or poor Americans. We’re all Americans,” Mr. Jindal said.
