I would say Sikh activists would be well advised to form a private militia to protect themselves if there is concern. This is their right under the 2nd amendment.

The government is having trouble protecting the president, what to say of ordinary citizens.

I think the Khalistan Taliban and their wanna-be Bin Ladens should be investigated for their sectarian attacks on other communities within the United States. I also think that President Trump should work to reform US asylum laws to reject these bogus refugee claims.

Indian-Americans will have to politically organize to get authorities to act against the hate crimes which are being perepetrated on them by the Khalistanis. Authorities should name and shame the Khalistan movement in particular.

indeed Vayutuvan ji

the very same hoary chestnuts (full and veto carrying membership of the security council) that the goras drag out and dust off every time, especially when they really don't have anything new to say

What these goras really want, for starters, are firm commitments of unlimited Indian boots on the ground (and Indian body bags) in any war with the cheen on taiwan

They really think that Modi ji is another zelensky and Indians will be pleased to replace ukrainians in any other fight that the goras may trigger at some later date

These jackasses have multiple game boards going on:

In A First, White House Engages With Pro-Khalistan Groups, Gives Assurance
This development comes amid concerns that Canada and the US are giving shelter and asylum to Khalistani separatists. What comes as a surprise is that the meeting was initiated by the White House.
...
Earlier this week, US Congressman Adam Schiff introduced the 'Transnational Repression Reporting Act 2024' which requires the Attorney General, in coordination with other relevant federal agencies, to report cases of transnational repression against people in the United States.




Why is the White House Meeting Khalistanis?

Again, are they hoping the Khalistan Navy will help them patrol the South China Sea?

Every one of the permanent five (sans China) say this in bilateral meetings. But never say a thing at the UN. What India gets is USCIRF opprobrium, pure and empty (paki and khaali respectively) promises, Harris dictating terms to Dr. S. Jaishankar on meeting Pramila Jayapal or not, on and on.

I am sure PM Modi shows bon-homie in the public. In private, there might be some tough talk.

Where is Kamala Harris? I would have thought, she being the VP & current regime candidate, would at least seek a photo opportunity to display her steady foreign policy leadership.

Also, when is NaMo going to meet Dónald?

Perhaps that’s an indicator in itself of her thinking and policy. She doesn’t want to be associated with Modi and alienate the likes of Ilhan Omar….

Why would they give away instruments of power just because India wants it. Moreover, our FP babus sometimes are more interested in the letter than the spirit and the other countries figured out, just by making that statement they can keep our babus happy. We have given away more and now we are running out of cards. I am not sure Modi's visit has any purpose other some optics about quad. Basically keep the FP engine running for now should be the priority for India. In few more months things will fall in place and then we can opt for more play.

There are more indian democrats who oppose Modi and she probably made the calculation that it is going to turn them off if she shows any closeness. For all the craziness of Trump, it looks like he is better for Indian Interests.

By now it should be crystal Clear: Mylapore Mami Kamala is a puppet of गहरा राज्य Gehra Rajya and she has very little regard for Bharat. Her upstairs is totally empty and she is just an airhead cackler and useful idiot filler of an emty throne position. She is consumed by her phony blackness and pretense that she is African American when she is neither. Those supporting the Dumbocrats are themselves living in a bubble which is going to burst like any other bubble. The fact that Dumbocrats have the Jihadi faction like Ilhan Omar is enough to abandon such a grouping. What is the point for the grouping which wants to impose Sharia as its ultimate goal?

The US foreign policy is now completely dictated by गहरा राज्य Gehra Rajya, when Bidenwa was there, there was some semblance of moderation, but now that he is sidelined, it is onward charlie with गहरा राज्य Gehra Rajya. No interference is possible since they call the shots. The गहरा राज्य Gehra Rajya is in two camps - one that wants to ditch China and embrace India as its new found labor arbitrage center and the other which is opposed to such cozying up. The later faction is so virulently hateful of just about anybody, they even hate their mothers and fathers. This group is psycho and know no bounds. They on purpose would cozy up to China to piss of their own kind. But the reality of China is that the nation is in a deep plunge downwards and the outlook for them is rather bleak.

Modiji and Bharat are caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. Requires expert navigation and not to lose sight of Bharat's ultimate goal - being #1 economically like it used to be in olden times for centuries on end.

Senile moron said this about Modiji ... He comes from a small country with small population like ours. He has become a decent man.

Any doubt on what the senile old fellow and scums like Blinken think about India or Modi? Senile man just spilled the beans. They don't say it loud and use Garcetti kind of underlings to run BIF/regime change

The Senate Foreign Affairs Committee Democrats release a letter that for the first time specifically recognizes that Bangladeshi Hindus are being subjected to violent attacks after the
Yunus_Centre govt took control.

We welcome this letter while awaiting formal hearings on this critical matter as the upcoming DurgaPuja festival is already behind an upsurge in violent temple attacks.

Is this "He has become a decent man" a joke?

Is meeting Khalistanis before Modi's visit also a joke?

Hindutva groups in the US are making false claims of widespread Hinduphobia, in an attempt to ‘compete’ with Islamophobia and antisemitism.

Did Biden say that? I missed that part. I take back what I said then. Biden was indeed malicious then.

The Senate Foreign Affairs Committee Dems and your bae G@r$hitty can show this letter to the dead Hindus FWIW or shove it in where the sun does not shine*

* between their ears

You are the biggest fanboi of the senile prez, who lost control of his senses two years back and even bigger fanboi of corrupt G@r$hitty.

Talking sweet nothings here and gaslighting while covering for the anti-India show that has been going on. Again you gaslighted each and every one who pointed out the senility of Biden, the chicanery of G@r$hitty and the extreme anti-India anti-Hindu element of US SD

Now you have the gall to come and show a meaningless piece of toilet paper FWIW on B'Deshi Hindus. I urge you to go and wave that piece of crap paper in front of the dead Hindus. It will do them some good. Maybe.

Coming to insane Biden, here is a clip. Please watch it from ~15s almost towards the end, and focus on the person at the bottom right of the frame. The official practically *shoos* the prime minister of India, the 3rd largest economy, 3 time CM of Gujarat and 3rd term PM of India.

PM Modi took it sportingly. But if you or anyone have an iota of shame, the way the person shoos the PM publicly should be fired.

The United States and India Continue to Expand Comprehensive and Global Strategic Partnership

From White House


Much show about nothing. Modi visited US and met Zelensky again for a reason.

World is at the brink of 3rd world war and a total nuclear war. Biden lost track of all his senses, it was evident two 2 years back. Now it is plain wide in open.

You are waving a crap of paper here just so that you can claim how great the partnership is currently.

US India relations are at its nadir.

November elections will tell how low it can go.

Here is how to read the crap posted above:

These are empty words. As good as taller than the mountains and as deep as trench, and has to be written out diplomatically on why the quad and the bilateral meet happened.

Empty Words:
The Leaders reflected on a historic period that has seen the United States and India reach unprecedented levels of trust and collaboration. The Leaders affirmed that the U.S.-India partnership must be anchored in upholding democracy, freedom, the rule of law, human rights, pluralism, and equal opportunities for all as our countries strive to become more perfect unions and meet our shared destiny.
Words to the effect that US is conceding that India is a leader, only within the IOR.
... President Biden commended Prime Minister Modi for his historic visits to Poland and Ukraine, the first by an Indian Prime Minister in decades, and for his message of peace and ongoing humanitarian support for Ukraine, including its energy sector, and on the importance of international law, including the UN charter...


This charade has been going on since IK Gujral days.
... United States supports initiatives ... including permanent membership for India in a reformed U.N. Security Council.
The following are my words. They are meaningless without action from US side
The Leaders voiced their view that a closer U.S.-India partnership is vital to the success of efforts to build a cleaner, inclusive, more secure, and more prosperous future for the planet.
Here is the part, while this was going on, Sri Doval was in France discussing nuclear SSK, jet engines and other advanced defence deals.
... The fab, which will be established with the objective of manufacturing infrared, gallium nitride and silicon carbide semiconductors, will be enabled by support from the India Semiconductor Mission as well as a strategic technology partnership between Bharat Semi, 3rdiTech, and the U.S. Space Force.
^Global Foundries needs to diversify their facilities and they got US export license waiver. Not a big deal. Let the foundry come up first. Why Kolkata? So that US SD/CIA can keep tabs on it via MaoMata.

The rest is just fluff to fill the page. Just like US SD Babooze do when they land in India. Like all the private industry partnership showing up in the joint declaration ...
They welcomed new private sector cooperation on emerging technologies, such as through IBM’s recent conclusion of memoranda of understanding with the Government of India, which will enable IBM’s watsonx platform on India’s Airawat supercomputer and drive new AI innovation
Curiously, the following was omitted:

1. US Chicanery in BD
2. US Chicanery propping up the regimes in Bakistan
3. US Chicanery on withholding GE Jet engines

Even a trial balloon of that meeting got the Dems' chaddies in twist. Modi, Shah, JaiShankar and Doval can play the game very well and all the US SD can do is twist its titties in exasperation.

US BD Perfidy was in retaliation of Modi trying to stave of 3rd world war. Problem is that, US BD perfidy was already gamed.

US White House meeting with Khalistanis was the knee jerk by the idiots running US SD. Zero finesse. They just exposed themselves. Naked.

And what India gets, some more agreements to push the Chips forward. There are wheels within wheels within wheels, each side has some leverages. Problem is that without a sane head in WH and no one in control, US-India relations is hitting its nadir and we are on brink of 3rd world war. A nuclear war.

Note: Its easy to say that deep state elements exist in both parties of US. Its not the existence of the deep state, it is how they react. The deep state in Dem is pro-china and anti-Hindu anti-India. The deep state in republicans is anti-China.

Now you can figure out how to do the deal.

* US SD is the front of the deep state. The other front is a master Culinary chef.

I sense a lot of tension behind the scenes.
