Fox News blames Indians on H-1B visas for everything from housing prices to America's tech workforce, while conveniently ignoring the facts.

The same narrative relied on recycled 20-year-old anecdotes, distorted visa statistics, and unrelated fraud cases to paint Indian professionals as a problem.

Reality check: H-1B visas are capped by law, heavily scrutinized, and filled largely by highly skilled professionals powering America's tech sector.

And now, a U.S. federal judge has struck down Trump's proposed $100,000 H-1B fee as unlawful.

It's easier to blame immigrants than confront the real causes of housing shortages and economic challenges. Indians didn't break the system they helped build it.

The real reason why Indians are hated in western countries👇(majorly in America)

Not because they are smelly
Not because their brown color
Not because them coming from a non Christian country
Not because they come from a poor place
Not because they come from non white country

If that was the case - South Americans would be getting the most hate - like 10x more than Indians - on social media and off the social media - As they are the biggest source of illegal immigrants, that fit in the above categories.

Source -
Center for Migration Studies (CMS, ~2024): Higher figure of ~2.317 million from South America
Compared to India - 200k estimated illegals

But that's not the case, wonder why?

REAL REASON IS 👇

Indians being successful
Indians doing better in "American dream" than most
Them being leaders in every sector
Them being educated and competitive
Them not being labor class but a strong middle class aspiring to reach even higher level
Them being innovator, initiators and winners

THIS IS WHY INDIANS ARE GETTING THE HATE!

Bottom line: Indians aren't primarily hated for failing to assimilate or for dependency — but often for outperforming expectations in a system that values merit and results. Envy of winners is an old human story. Real racism exists, but pretending success plays no role ignores the data on outcomes. The same pattern appears in Canada, UK, and Australia with Indian student/professional inflows.

What do you think drives it most?

A federal judge has voided President Donald Trump’s requirement of a $100,000 application fee for H-1B visas, ruling that he lacked authority to impose the new policy for a program used by companies to hire highly skilled foreign workers in specialized fields. https://t.co/P7mG2iCGkP

Japan blocks US apples, pears & cherries for the exact same biosecurity reasons- codling moth, fire blight, protecting their ag- just like India.

So let’s make Japan the gold standard…and in your own words, ask everyone- *checks notes*….

“Why would Americans want those disgusting things?”

God- you are an insufferable and low iq, horse teeth grifter clown.

Comparisons are futile but for me one of India's greatest engineering achievements remains the 217 feet tall shadowless Brihadisvara Temple built by Raja Raja Chola I in 1010.

Crafted with giant interlocked stones and crowned by an 81 ton kumbam, it was built within six years.

Breaking: Singapore asks social media content that is targeting Indian community of the country to be blocked.

Singapore home ministry statement says, "content likely originated from a China-based platform and was subsequently carried on other platforms and websites"

[Aravind @aravind]

Good and swift job by Singapore, as always, to prevent foreign interference creating issues between communities and creating hatred for Indians using social media.

This Modus Operandi by China and Pakistan to create hate against Indians and India in every country using social media has long been left unchallenged by India.

Even in this case, a small Singapore seems to have taken action ordering social media companies for the benefit of Indian community. We did not hear India taking action on its own.

The apathy on this by India for so long is costing India and Indians a lot. There's a requirement for a social media monitoring and rapid response cell that works with SM companies, various ministries, and embassies world wide.

#SharpBySwarajya | You Cannot Claim Mecca And Mohenjo-Daro At The Same Time

For decades, the Indian state, when it bothered to speak of its civilisational past at all, did so in the apologetic manner. Recent posts by Ministry of Culture suggest a change. Something rare. A preemptive narrative strike.

This prompted a barrage of adverse responses, especially from across the border, stemming from the usual habit of appropriation — be it wedding rituals like Haldi and Sangeet, artforms like Kathak, or ancient heritage like Indus Saraswati Civilisation.

This Mecca-MohenjoDaro contradiction cannot be more obvious. But it has become so structural that Pakistan has stopped even noticing the absurdity in it.

The art of appropriation lies in distortion and stripping the Dharmic substrate of the inheritance, because it falsifies the founding myth of the Pakistani state.

But how can the grandparents be repudiated as kafirs in one breath and resurrected as ancestors in the next? Heritage is not a buffet from which the inconvenient theological dish may be skipped.

A lot of Indian Americans believe these are winning arguments. Racists hate you precisely because of this. High income, low crime, high tax contributions, stable families, higher education, lower dependence on benefits was supposed to be their domain.
