My family is from the region and we’ve traveled across India and Bangladesh. It’s not an easy trip but it sure is a gratifying one. The food is diverse and spectacular and the history is incredible.

If we are going to generalize countries, I’d point out how the US treats Black people and tolerates gun violence. I’m Anerican though and know that these are areas of our less perfect union and I have hope for improvement.

I bet all, your Indian relatives want to come to the US though.

DP here. My Indian relatives are all in the US. In Potomac, Bethesda, McClean, Great Falls, Arlington... and they are very rich employers too. But, I doubt they will employ what Trump calls the "talentless Americans". 0:25 on the video below...

Telling no? Your relatives are here and not in Delhi? And you are upset that we are tearing down Delhi?

What is there to be upset about? Go on and tear down Delhi even more, if that makes you happy. Does not change the reality of my life.

India is 1/5th the world population. We need to spread out and take our share of the world resources. Glad that my people are thriving everywhere.

Um no. That’s not how immigration works. But since everybody knows that Indians will try to go literally anywhere else, the Indian passport is utterly worthless.

They couldn’t wait to tell me what a good businessman they thought he was and how much they admired him. Oh, and that Don Jr. had just been in town which they thought was great.

Yes, we love what he has done to America! Just love it.

Well you probably don’t, but I assume you live in America.

Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.

Um no. That’s not how immigration works. But since everybody knows that Indians will try to go literally anywhere else, the Indian passport is utterly worthless.

Um, yes. That's exactly how immigration works? Are you native American? No. Then shut up and sit down. This is not your country.

It’s exactly this entitled immigrant mindset that led to Trump, Brexit, and so many other right wing movements. Ask all your compatriots stuck in India waiting for non existent H-1B appointments how this philosophy is working for them.

Jantar Mantar is interesting, it's an astronomical observatory, built in the early 1700s. The Gandhi Memorial is nice too, and the Red Fort is worth a visit. And if you're going to be in Delhi, you cannot skip a trip to Agra to see the Taj Mahal. You can take a train or hire a driver. I've also heard cool things about Jaipur, the next time we visit we want to go there.

India is very unique place, but definitely not for everyone. It can be overwhelming in many ways. But it is also beautiful (all of the colored saris on women - amazing) and the food can be delicious...I still dream of the homemade dishes our relatives cooked for us when there. But I will suggest hiring a guide/driver when touring attractions in Delhi (or other cities in India). We found it helpful to have someone to take over the transportation logistics, and usually guides that are found through the nice hotels are very knowledgable and are able to make the experience positive.

I've also been to Mumbai and would prefer that city to Delhi, the Elephanta Caves are cool. And the Taj is a classic hotel to experience, we were there a year before the bombing. I've spent the most time in Hyderabad, it's not a big tourist town but Golkonda Fort is really cool and there's also Film City. Being a westerner in India usually means two things: either you have someone bothering you (trying to sell you something, trying to take your picture) or the people who lead with kindness. I've always chosen to focus on the people leading with kindness and ignore the weirdos. And believe me as a white woman I've dealt with my share of weirdos in India.

Hope this helps.

Agree. As someone who is tall and blonde, and bears a passing resemblance to Heidi Klum (or insert your fave blonde celeb here), it's madness every time I go out. I've been swarmed by people in more remote areas--it's scary. Once the rumor breaks out in a crowd that you're <whoever>....yikes.

In DMV? You must be joking.

Right, no? Qatar population predominantly Indian, Saudi-ton of Indians, Tanzania? Huge Indian population, South Africa? The same, etc. yes, India must be a lovely place since people would rather be anywhere else than in India!

What a weak and asinine argument to justify yourself and your entire family. Maybe try some population control and work on what's wrong in your country of birth instead of running away to somewhere better.

I've literally never been in a country that didn't have a fairly robust Indian immigrant population.

Not really. And I said passing resemblance, not spitting image. Just trying to paint a picture of what happens when I'm in India. Kind of an odd thing to focus on though.

Wow! I am entitled as a well educated, tax paying, legal immigrant, naturalized citizen, but you are not as a waste of space, poorly educated trash looking for govt dole? You do not belong here. This is not your country. My compatriots are other educated, functional and skilled Americans. (And MS 13 can deal with the right wing bozos if the opioids don't get them first.)

Why do I care if others from India cannot come here? If there is a need for educated and skilled people in the world, they will get a job there. If China can become rich, so can India.

What foreign languages can you speak? Is your family intact? Kids doing well in Math? What is your net-worth?

Educated, skilled, intelligent, law-abiding, multi-lingual, affordable human capital for the world. And yes, we are global desis and becoming rich in each and every country. Very comfortable in being in every country and still continue to be deeply connected with India. Read and weep. Thank you, Trump.
