India calls JD Vance's comments about immigrants 'deeply offensive'
India calls comments of U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance about immigrants from the country "deeply offensive."
On Friday, India strongly rebuked U.S. Vice President JD Vance for calling H-1B visa workers "indentured servants," deeming the remark deeply offensive and insensitive to the historical and colonial implications of the term. The Indian Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) stated that Vance's comments failed to acknowledge the vital contributions of Indian professionals to the U.S. economy, technological advancement, and innovation.
They emphasized that the movement of skilled workers benefits both nations by fostering research, enhancing productivity, maintaining competitiveness, and driving job creation. The MEA highlighted that Indian professionals in the U.S. are highly educated and skilled contributors to its economic and innovation landscape.
