[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This might be more for the Politics forum = but do you think there's any backlash against guests to this dinner? It feels like a difficult thing, deciding whether to go celebrate Modi.

Like if Trump came to India and Indian-Americans had to decide if they were going to go to the state dinner.[/quote]

Yea.  Indian American here and I wasn’t super thrilled about this visit.  I have a few Indian American friends who hate Trump, but were  super excited about this visit.

My only consolation is that this felt like pandering to Indian Americans, and hey - we’re now an important enough demographic to pander to? So yay?

[b]Also, Old Indian Men (like my father and his friends) adore(d) Trump[/b].  [/quote]

I think this is a generational thing. My father came here in the 60s and his peer group is FAR more educated and liberal than a lot of the people who came over from India in the 70s and 80s. [/quote]

NP. No. I don’t think that’s it. I think people just have different opinions and politics. My in-laws came in the late 60s and voted for Trump. Ugh. Many in our family did. They wanted boarder security and were angry people were sneaking into the US, when they themselves went through the proper channels. Also they talk about how nice this country was, and now there is so much crime. [/quote]
