Clothes, lots of clothes. Quilts and textiles. Silver jewelry. But they are brought in by my brother or cousins who frequently travel to India.

Call enters, obviously. And lots of tech employees. I wonder if those things will be affected. If so, their economy will completely tank.

But India seems to look at the alliance between Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran - and they want in. India seems keen to align with the baddies, so I would expect Indian exports - such as they are - to be pretty much non-existent in western markets going forward.


Why should India align with a bully? If you give in to Trump, he just demands more. I applaud any country that defends its sovereignty and stands up to bullies.


By the way, India agreed to give up Russian oil and buy it from the US if the US offered the same price as Russia. If buying from Russia is so bad, why didn't the US agree to sell them oil at the Russian price?


Trump shut down USAID> Our official policy is not to be subsidizing other countries.

India hasn't figured out how to thrive economically yet, and it's a country that goes back over 5000 years -- one of the o oldest continuous civilizations in the world. Selling cheaper oil right now for a few years isn't going to fix it, if 5000 years hasn't.


So why should India give in to America's bullying? If America's policy is America first, shouldn't India's policy be India first?


PS: were you meaning to suggest that it wasn't already this? That India was some kind of self-sacrificing noble martyr to further the interests of other countries at the expense of their own? Please.


Why should India trade cheap Russian oil for expensive American oil? It is a poor country.


IDK, maybe because that money is killing innocent women and children in Ukraine? Oh wait, India doesn’t care. I forgot.


America is supplying weapons to Israel and killing innocent women and children in Palestine. See how that works? American is not on the moral high ground here.


You need to go back and study how each country's current conflict got started (how Israel was attacked and how Russia attacked Ukraine). As much as I am sadden by the deaths of innocent people, they are apples-and-oranges. Educate yourself.


They aren't apple and oranges at all. Both countries have innocent children that are being killed by people like you who make up bullshit "apples and oranges" reasoning. A child is a child, and they are being killed, period.


That is a simpleton’s perspective. Nothing in life is that simple.

You are confusing the country, versus the people living here. SMH We don’t travel to India to have bunions removed.

Yeah, no.

1 in 5 U.S. physicians was born and educated abroad
https://www.aamc.org/news/1-5-us-physicians-was-born-and-educated-abroad-who-are-they-and-what-do-they-contribute

That's not even a majority. Don't get me wrong -- the US population has benefited greatly from physicians born and/or trained from outside its borders. But your claim is flat out wrong, although the arrogance is palpable.


You do not want a baljeet doctor. They get fake medical degrees.


Are IMG (International medical graduates') degrees verified before they are matched for residency in U.S.?


Yes, but there was a big USMLE cheating scandal involving India, Nepal, Jordan, Pakistan, and Japan "cheating rings" in 2023-2024. USMLE investigated and invalidated a lot of scores. Appeals were denied.

I'd like to know any of those with labels on the container. I'd definitely avoid those items from India!


Perhaps they are talking about prescription ones, not OTC ??


Prescription ones will show where it’s manufactured


You all it's the API and the compounds. You don't get a full label of where everything comes form.

You know about the last stitch rule right?

70% of your meds OTC or RX come from India.
