Indian Americans Express Optimism For Global Peace, Economy

NEW YORK, NY (ANI) – Indian Americans are celebrating Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election, expressing optimism about the potential benefits for the economy, border security, and global peace.

Avinash Gupta, President of the Foreign Indian Association, believes Trump’s good rapport with Prime Minister Narendra Modi will strengthen India-US relations.

Gupta cited local factors like inflation, open borders, and ongoing wars as key concerns that influenced Indian American voters.

“They voted what was best for India -America friendship. President Trump has a good rapport with PM Modi. Local factors such as inflation, open borders and ongoing wars also came into play. We are looking forward to course correction and having a better economy, secured borders and global peace,” he said.

Alok Kumar who is active in the NJ community said, “The strong personal rapport between past leaders–evidenced by landmark visits like President Trump’s visit to Gujarat and Prime Minister Modi’s ‘Howdy Modi’ event in Texas–has solidified this relationship, making it more resilient.”

Shalabh “Shalli” Kumar, founder of the Republican Hindu Coalition, attributed Trump’s success in part to a focused last-minute campaign targeting Hindu American voters, specifically in key battleground states. “It was our goal to at least switch over 200,000 Hindu votes from Kamala to Trump in the battleground states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin, and that’s what happened,” he said.
Kumar credited the momentum to a critical tweet on Diwali, which, he noted, “changed everything” and enabled a targeted media push. “We were successful in educating the Hindu Americans about who Kamala really is. She is only half Hindu… and she’s friendly towards [leftist ideologies],” he added, stressing his belief that Harris’s political philosophy was “very much to the left.”

Anil Bansal a businessperson and former chairperson of Indus American Bank, acknowledged the election results and expressed hope that Trump’s administration will serve all Americans.

Despite disagreements with Trump’s policies, Bansal, a supporter of Kamala Harris committed to staying engaged and working toward positive change, striving for a future guided by unity and respect

“I want to acknowledge the results of this election and accept Donald Trump as the next President. This election season has been intense, and very divisive. While I do not agree with many of President Trump’s policies and his actions, I sincerely hope that his administration will serve all Americans and address the challenges that we all face. Moving forward, I’m committed to staying engaged and working toward positive change. I hope we can all strive for a future where unity and respect guide us, no matter what our differences. I pray for a brighter future for everyone,” he said.

  • Democratic Failures and Trump’s Return
    Ralph Nader, renowned consumer advocate and former presidential candidate, aptly critiques the Democratic Party’s collapse following Donald Trump’s reelection. Despite progressive efforts to steer the party toward anti-corporate, populist policies, Democratic leaders failed to connect with voters. Nader highlights the party’s reliance on attacking Trump while neglecting crucial issues like healthcare, fair wages, and corporate power. Instead of embracing grassroots concerns, Democrats invested heavily in negative ads and ineffective messaging.
    Nader underscores how the party’s long-standing ties to corporate interests, dating back to 1979, have weakened its identity. By outsourcing campaigns to profit-driven consultants and abandoning public media, Democrats have ceded ground to conservative voices. Their failure to learn from past mistakes, like Hillary Clinton’s 2016 defeat, further illustrates this crisis. Rather than addressing real economic and social grievances, Democrats presented vague arguments against Republicans, failing to inspire change.
    For the progressive movement, Nader emphasizes the need to focus on Congress as the key constitutional lever to counter Trumpism. He warns of the threats posed by right-wing institutions and calls for strategic resistance. Democrats should mobilize non-voters, especially low-wage workers. Rev. William Barber’s insight—that engaging even a fraction of these disenfranchised voters could shift elections—was ignored.
    Nader also criticizes Kamala Harris for shunning progressive allies like Bernie Sanders while puzzlingly aligning with figures such as Liz Cheney. The Democratic leadership’s refusal to support policies favored by a majority of Americans—such as taxing the wealthy, breaking up monopolies, and expanding social benefits—remains a glaring misstep. Until Democrats genuinely commit to serving the people, their future will be fraught with turmoil and lost opportunities.
    Finally, Harris exposed her timidity by failing to respond to Muslim and Arab Americans who have lost loved ones under Israel’s relentless siege, bombings, and starvation campaign in Gaza. Ignoring Israel’s repeated violations of U.S. laws, she feigns remorse over attacks on civilians in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon, while continuing to supply weapons to Prime Minister Netanyahu. This highlights the Democratic leadership’s hypocrisy on human rights.
