They are indeed American first and serve America's interests first. That is precisely why they have been nominated and the fact that they happen to be competent at their jobs. It is however a mistake to assume therefore that it does not benefit India and Indians generally.
Links of language, history, ancestral antecedents, and that undefinable longing that exists in the hearts of all the diaspora is not a bad start.
Biden has including many other "Indians" in his administration, at least 10 to my knowledge including some that will be driving the Federal Covid-19 vaccination project that Trump has frittered away so spectacularly.
Oh I have no doubt that they maintain ancestral links, but all this "they will vanquish or help against our enemies" is very far fetched.
Also people are taking it as a certainty that this will immensely benefit India and Indians, and as I said before we've heard it before, and so much was expected and yet nothing happened.
Does not mean anything, it’s like saying sadiq khan who’s mayor of London will favour Pakistanis or will now hand over London to Pakistan, background does not mean anything in these situation, they are just a puppet.
Yep good point, we even had Sajid as chancellor and Warsi as chairman nothing happened.
Currently Rishi and Preti are in cabinet they don't even say a peep about India.
You get it with many people that they tend to distance themselves from the politics of their ancestral lands, because it draws attention to themselves i.e. people begin to think where their allegiance lies.
Agreed , all this bullshit hype around Indian Americans is just to get Indian votes & secure their support , they are Americans period & will do what suits its interest
Yep and I would say the same about any Pakistani American serving in the cabinet. They serve their nation first and foremost, everything else takes a back seat. In actual fact you find them being more diplomatic and politically correct when it comes to affairs relating to their ancestral lands.
