No it won't. Tech workers in call centers that are off-shore in India, are paid extremely low wages in dollars converted to rupees by American owners sitting in USA. These workers do not pay taxes to USA or tariffs to USA.

Tech workers in USA on H one B visas, are paid low wages in USA in dollars by American owners sitting in USA, and they pay taxes in USA.

India is a huge market, it can consume whatever cheap product it produces. The only economy that is tanking is USA. And the beauty of USA is that it is filled with criminals and people with guns.

For us - Indian food products at Indian grocery stores. We will still be ok because of several reasons -
- Many of our Indian products are coming from farms run by sikh entrepreneurs and farmers in Canada
- There is a thriving cottage industry of food products made locally.
- Most Indian Americans are well to do. Indian food staples usually do not cost a lot because they are minimally processed and bulk packaged. Paying an additional 2-3 hundred bucks will not harm anyone.
- We will not see an increase in prices for clothes and Indian dresses. The importers will eat the cost or most people will buy directly from Indian manufacturers. Or those who will buy won't care about the cost.
- Most of my meds are usually filled with my prescription when I travel to India.
- I buy all my retin-A cream in India for personal use. Also, I have many friends and family members who travel to India and pick up what I need.

That's a good question.

It's been a gazillion years since folks in India actually made anything compelling on a large scale.

India does not seem to be a player in anything
- except they export their smarter, more well connected people.

I'm really trying to think of the value added by India. And I'm drawing a blank.

True. I don’t feel good about supporting slavery in China or India. I prefer US, EU or even S America.

Retin A from a Dr costs $15 here. If you are Indian, you are probably a high earner and it's not that unaffordable.
