Despite the growing strategic and trade relations between India and America, a very shocking and worrying news is emerging from the corridors of power in Washington. Anti-India lobbying within the US Parliament (Capitol Hill) has not weakened even after the withdrawal of pro-India and influential US Senator Lindsey Graham from the active scene. According to intelligence and diplomatic sources, there are currently about 60 such senators and representatives in both houses of the US Parliament, who are continuously running a planned agenda against India’s global policies, defense deals and sovereignty. This anti-India group is preparing a secret blueprint of laws and sanctions to seriously threaten New Delhi’s strategic interests in the coming days.

Know who these 60 American lawmakers are and what is their agenda

This anti-India faction active within the US Parliament includes some radical and left-leaning leaders from both major political parties—Democrats and Republicans. According to diplomatic analysts, the main agenda of this group is to target India’s independent foreign policy. These lawmakers are continuously pressurizing the US administration to take strict steps against India due to India’s deep defense and energy relations with Russia, India’s tough stance on the China border and internal issues like Kashmir and human rights. These leaders are trying to present such reports and proposals in the US Parliament, which can harm India’s image on the international stage.

Big conspiracy to stop India’s defense and trade agreements

Under this secret strategy, this 60-member group is trying to stop or delay the receipt of modern American military technology (such as Predator drone and jet engine deals) to India. Apart from this, backdoor lobbying is also being done in the US Parliament for India’s growing IT sector, pharmaceutical exports and making visa rules (H-1B Visa) more stringent. If this group succeeds in its plans, it could have a direct impact on Indian tech companies and crores of Indian professionals dependent on the American market, who handle their work from cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Hyderabad.

How will New Delhi dismantle the active anti-India lobbying in Washington?

International affairs experts believe that India’s old and experienced friends like Lindsey Graham will definitely be missed, but India’s diplomatic team is fully prepared to meet this challenge. The Indian Embassy in the US and the strong Indian-American community (Indian Diaspora) have increased their activism to counter this anti-India narrative in Capitol Hill. Think-tanks in Lucknow and Delhi say that India has now become an indispensable partner for America in the field of defense and trade, hence even the wishes of a handful of leaders sitting in the US Parliament will be very difficult to shake the foundation of strong and historical relations between the two countries.
