There is some tension going on in the relations between India and America these days. Reason? US President Donald Trump’s imposition of heavy taxes (tariffs) on Indian goods. But now amidst this tension, a good news has come, which Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has openly welcomed.
In fact, 19 Democrat MPs of America have written a letter to President Trump, in which they have clearly said that the deteriorating relations with India “Reset and Repair” The time has come to do it. That is, correct what has gone wrong.
Shashi Tharoor happy, but also reminded of a painful thing
Shashi Tharoor praised this initiative and said that he was happy to see it. But on this occasion he also showed a mirror to the Indian-American community. Tharoor said that he was worried for a long time that when India is in need, why do Indian-Americans settled in America not put pressure on their leaders?
He clearly said, “When I questioned the silence of the expatriate community, my aim was to put pressure on their political representatives (MPs) to stand up for India.”
Tharoor said that it is good that American leaders are speaking for India, but if Indians living in America also raise their voice for their rights, then its impact will be much greater.
Why did American lawmakers warn Trump?
This letter is also signed by big Indian-American leaders like Ro Khanna, Raja Krishnamurthy and Pramila Jaipal. He issued a direct warning to Trump:
- Imposing heavy taxes on India will harm trade between the two countries.
- This will make it difficult for American companies to source goods from India.
- And the biggest thing is that if you continue to seek confrontation with India like this, then it will close to russia and china May go. If this happens, America will be left alone to stop China’s growing arrogance.
Tharoor’s direct appeal to Indian-Americans
Tharoor has been raising this issue strongly in the past also. Reiterating his old point, he said, “Many American lawmakers tell me that they do not get even a single call from Indian-American voters in their area asking them to support India. shocking silence Is.”
He made a direct appeal to the Indian-American community:
“If you care about your connection with your motherland, you have to fight for it, raise your voice and put pressure on your political representatives to stand up for India. It is not enough to just feel, you have to take action.”
