Indian diaspora has a decisive role to play in the politics and economy of America and European Countries'. Comment with examples.
The Indian diaspora indeed plays a decisive role in the politics and economy of America and European countries, leveraging their growing numbers, educational attainment, and economic success.
In Politics: In the US, the Indian-American community is highly engaged, contributing significantly to political campaigns and holding influential positions. Examples include Vice President Kamala Harris, Congressmen like Ro Khanna and Ami Bera, demonstrating their increasing electoral and policy influence. They advocate for issues affecting both India and the diaspora, shaping foreign policy and trade relations. In Europe, while less numerous than in the US, Indian-origin individuals are increasingly visible in politics, influencing local and national policies.
In Economy: Economically, the Indian diaspora is highly skilled, particularly in IT, medicine, and engineering. In Silicon Valley, Indian-Americans are prominent founders and CEOs (e.g., Satya Nadella at Microsoft, Sundar Pichai at Google), driving innovation and creating jobs. Their remittances back to India significantly boost the Indian economy. In the UK, professionals and entrepreneurs of Indian origin contribute immensely to various sectors. Their success fosters economic ties and bilateral trade, making them crucial economic bridges between India and their adopted nations.
