India is not the enemy of American jobs
US President Donald Trump has always championed a bold, “America First” agenda, driven by an admirable instinct to safeguard American jobs and ensure equitable global partnerships.
Yet, a persistent, often misleading narrative suggests India is somehow complicit in the “loss” of American jobs. This perception, respectfully, demands a closer, clearer look.
This article offers President Trump a perspective rooted in clarity, friendship, and the immense potential for long-term mutual gain.
India isn’t taking American jobs; it’s helping create them
Let’s unequivocally set the record straight: India did not lobby to shift American jobs overseas.
American corporations, driven by the imperative to remain competitive, made strategic decisions to outsource certain functions. And in some cases, it was India.
Had these companies not done it, many of them might not have survived, or certainly wouldn’t have achieved their current scale, which has actually led to a lot more job creation within the US than outsourced to India.
India, with its vast talent pool and cost advantages, became a crucial partner in maintaining the efficiency and global competitiveness of American businesses.
Consider American enterprise as a powerful, complex machine.
India provided the vital lubricant, a seemingly small element that, though not a primary structural part, was absolutely essential for smooth operation, preventing friction, and ensuring the machine could run at peak performance globally.
What India provided was a lubricant that helped many American enterprises compete and thrive globally.
Consider the profound contributions of Indians in the US: doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, and researchers.
Many are first-generation immigrants, among the most law-abiding, hardworking, and productive communities in America.
They fill critical skill gaps, serve underserved rural communities, and run businesses that directly employ Americans.
Just look at the facts:
- Indian-American CEOs lead some of the most admired American companies: Google, Microsoft, Adobe, IBM, and many more.
- Indian-origin doctors comprise nearly 8% of all US physicians, saving American lives every single day.
- Thousands of Indian engineers are indispensable to America’s digital and physical infrastructure, from banks and airports to hospitals and vital utilities.
This isn’t job theft. This is a partnership in progress.
India: A steadfast, transparent partner
India has consistently played fair on the global stage. It has never manipulated currencies or engaged in geo-strategic maneuvering behind America’s back.
India is not a scheming rival like China, nor has it harbored terrorists who have attacked Americans, like Pakistan.
India’s harmonious rise has been a testament to peaceful, transparent, and democratic principles, built on sheer effort and self-belief, not subversion.
Indian immigrants embody this ethos wherever they go, seamlessly integrating, contributing wholeheartedly, and earning widespread respect.
This integrity is mirrored in Prime Minister Modi’s global standing, a respect earned not through spin or posturing, but by his disciplined, dignified, and purposeful leadership of India, navigating its complex political landscape.
Trump & Modi: A natural, historic alliance
Trump’s “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) philosophy rightly recognizes true strength and loyalty.
In Prime Minister Modi, who is singularly focused on making India a developed nation, Trump will:
- Discover more than just a strong nationalist leader with global respect.
- Find a steadfast friend of America, a leader who instinctively understands and respects Trump’s convictions and priorities.
With a per capita GDP that is less thanone-thirtieth of the US, India posesno threat of any kind.
Also, India, by its very nature, seeks progress for its own people without trampling on others.
Modi’s oft-quoted principle of India, viz, Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, is testament to this.
Trump and Modi have already demonstrated remarkable personal chemistry at events like ‘Howdy Modi’ and ‘Namaste Trump’.
But the opportunity before them transcends these moments: it is to co-create a future where the world’s most powerful democracy and the world’s largest democracy work in resolute unison.
It can be lonely at the top, and Trump knows this well.
Many voices, not all sincere, offer counsel. Agenda-driven advisors and vested interests may seek to sow mistrust.
This is precisely why discernment is paramount for Trump.
In Modi and India, Trump will find one of the few leaders and nations who respect strength without exploiting it, and who consistently play fair.
India offers a superior deal, transactionally and strategically
Trump is a pragmatist, a dealmaker.
When it comes to pure transactional benefits, India offers far more rewarding options across defence, energy, technology, and trade than most other nations.
India possesses a massive, young, and aspiring market.
Modi respects contracts, champions innovation, and seeks peaceful growth, not dominance.
Trump may maintain tactical lines open with Pakistan, and India will understand such realities.
Similarly, India’s historical and strategic ties with Russia are a reality that Trump can similarly comprehend.
Relationships among sovereign nations thrive not on rigid alignments but on mutual respect, reciprocal benefit, and strategic accommodation.
A call to right-thinking influencers
Those with Trump’s ear, political advisors, Indian-American leaders, and strategic thinkers, must gently but firmly convey this truth: India is not a problem, but could be a solution. It is an indispensable partner.
This isn’t about sentiment; it’s about strength, stability, and smart geopolitics.
Let us not allow misguided narratives to derail a natural and vital alliance. Let us build the next chapter of US-India ties on a foundation of truth, trust, and transformative collaboration.
A historic decision for America’s future
A sound trade deal with India, forged not with suspicion but with mutual confidence, accommodating of each other’s compulsions, will send an undeniable message to the world: America and India are unequivocally in this together.
Not just as governments, not just as economies, but as civilizations deeply committed to freedom, fairness, and a brighter future.
President Trump, if you choose India as your trusted partner, history will surely remember it as one of your finest decisions in Making America Great Again.
Indeed, such an alliance would naturally foster global stability and shared democratic values, actively working to reduce conflicts, stop ongoing wars, and prevent future wars, while driving widespread growth and prosperity.
This profound impact would naturally lead to a truly deserved Nobel Peace Prize for you.
