Given the outrage over some of my recent posts, I'd like to take the time to clarify certain things. I don't hate India but I am honest about what India is in relation to the world and to our nation.
For example, Indians love to point out their moral superiority because they didn't colonize like the West or conquer like Islam, except they're doing both right now.
India's model of colonization is comparable to strip mining. They displace native workers, my neighbors, break employment and civil rights laws in order to take over companies and ship their value back to India. Everything they accuse the West of doing to them, they are currently doing all the while claiming to be victims. It’s not painting a nice picture for y’all.
India is an aggressive, dishonest, exploitative, bad faith actor on the global stage. That is what created the "hate" against India. It isn't racism or Hinduphobia (bravo on using leftist whiny language) but y’all’s own actions that tarnished your reputation. No one hated Indians when I was in high school. Y’all did this to yourselves but blame everyone else.
But what about India's contributions to my life? The only reason I'm in America is because of what India took from my family: opportunity... and America gave it to them, no questions asked.
When I upset Democrats or Republicans in my home country, one thing I rarely receive are death and rape threats, but when I upset India, I get them by the hundreds, which is… interesting…
Even my faith, which comes from the Vedic traditions, was founded in the United States in 1966. America even gave me my relationship with God.
India has the right to be an aggressor, and it is, but America has the right to respond in kind.
And then there's the distinctly abusive style of manipulation that Indians looooove to use against me. They constantly tell me how I'll never be accepted and that "they'll" come for me next. This is a lie. Americans has always been welcoming to my ancestors. The only people who ever attack my place in America are Indians because they don't know what it is to be a good neighbor.
For example, America is a Protestant nation, which has extended their principles of religious liberty even to non-Christians. The right way to respond to that is to be gracious. It's not to build hundred foot tall statutes.
Indians will often point to their colonial experience to suggest equivalency but I will remind them that their problem is with the British, not America. We don't owe y’all a damn thing, least of all appeasements for your grievances.
The shocker to y’all is I am loyal to America and she is loyal to me in return.
Americans cherish the natural beauty of their great land. They don't treat it like a garbage dump. American people look to make the world better, not greedily snatch whatever they can. Americans sacrificed their own demographic power out of the environmental belief that it would help make the world better, but Indians don't see nobility in that. They just see it as an opportunity for them to take advantage.
This is why I am safe on the streets of America but not on India's. This is why I'm a welcome guest on podcasts, in country clubs, political organizations, churches, and on stage with the President himself, but I'm warned that India's government watches me (lol) and that I would be in danger if I went to India. America loves me and I love her in return, which is why I dedicate my professional work to helping care for its patients. It's the least I can do to thank America for giving me a great life.
I'm not Indian and you don't get to claim me. I don't hate you. In fact, like most Americans, I don't think about you unless I have to. I wish India all the best but I don't want it come at the expense of my countrymen, and they ARE my countrymen and you're not.
