Midas~American in "waiting" stuck in EB-GC backlog

"H1B on I-140" is a mirage!
"EB GC for Indians" is an Illusion!
Indian is NOT a South Asian.
HINDU Indian American.
#Hindutva is Hinduism that resists

[David J. Bier @David_J_Bier]

Indian H1Bs contributed an unfathomable amount to America: 100s of billions in taxes, 10s of billions more in fees, trillions in services. Among the most peaceful, intelligent, interesting people to grace our shores. And what do we give back? Demonization & discrimination...

[Sidharth @Cloudwatch199]

There is a reason why no self-respecting Hindu should ever vote Democrat. This is how the liberal media covers the brutal murder and beheading of a Hindu man:

“Man accused of beheading manager who told him not to use broken washing machine.”

It almost feels like they’re trying to provide some kind of justification or validation for this horrific crime.

What a shameless, filthy thing for an author to write.

📢 Read this before you cry about H‑1Bs…

Every year, the U.S. quietly hands out:
📌 1 million family-chain green cards
📌 50 K diversity lottery green cards
📌 100 K+ refugee & asylum green cards

All with FULL access to:
✅ Food stamps (SNAP)
✅ Medicaid & CHIP
✅ Cash welfare (TANF)
✅ Housing vouchers (Section 8)
✅ Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
✅ Pell Grants & FAFSA (college aid)
✅ Unemployment insurance
✅ Child Tax Credit & Earned Income Tax Credit
✅ WIC & school meal programs
✅ Work permits without sponsorship

Meanwhile, the 85 K high-skilled H‑1Bs who actually power the economy get NONE of these benefits but :
❌ Pay every tax dollar
❌ No welfare, no subsidies
❌ No unemployment benefits
❌ No federal aid for kids
❌ No housing or cash assistance
❌ Spouse can’t even work without rare approval

Dependency is rewarded. Contribution is punished.

And you still think H‑1Bs are the problem?

These media organizations have consistently taken anti-India positions. This is perfectly in line with the bipartisan consensus in Washington to use Pakistan as a proxy to contain India, inflict damage on the Indian state, and downplay state-sponsored terrorism. A cursory look through archives from over a half a century stands testament to this. Undermining Indian security interests is central to their agenda.

In 1971 NYT ran an ad submitted by Jagjit Chohan, an individual who received extensive support from Western governments. The ad made the “case” for Balkanizing India and creating Khalistan. The genocide of East Pakistan’s Hindu population made a mere footnote in American media, broadly in line with US government support for Pakistan’s murderous regime.

Terrorism in J&K for four decades has been labeled everything from “freedom fighting” to “militancy” orchestrated by “rebels.” Next to zero coverage of PoJK, including Occupied Gilgit Baltistan, stands as a stark reminder of their partisan journalism. Fast forward to India’s nuclear tests and compare the coverage with that of Pakistan’s. It will show which nation is perceived as a threat.

Some say let bygones be bygones, but when India freed J&K from Article 370 through parliamentary consensus, the government was labeled totalitarian, oppressive and dictatorial. Perhaps the angst of missing out on breaking J&K away from India to establish a military base persists from the time Western powers colluded with Sheikh Abdullah. More recently, Khalistani terrorists have been labeled as innocent activists. Any and all who seek to secede or harm Indian national interest are given cover fire by these outlets, if not handed journalism awards and hired as editorial staff. Just look through the social media profiles of their writers. Naturally, India’s sovereignty is treated as negotiable and its security as worthy of infringement. Nothing has changed in decades. This, apparently, is “journalism.”

Today, @narendramodi says India does not submit to nuclear blackmail. It essentially means that America’s single most powerful veto over India’s regional affairs, exercised through a nuclear armed terrorist proxy, has ended. If this does not ruffle feathers in Washington, one would be surprised.

The US is now intent on hyphenating India and Pakistan. The media is tasked with normalizing Pakistan’s unsubstantiated claims that India is the destabilizing force in the region. This involves downplaying unhinged nuclear saber rattling and salvaging parts of the diatribe that can fit a preset agenda. The process of equating India’s legitimate security concerns with Pakistan’s imagined ones is part of the new narrative.

US reports annual "human rights" report for the world. On India, raises situation in Manipur, among other things.

PS:
The annual report is for each country on the planet, except one-US itself

[Aditya Raj Kaul @AdityaRajKaul]

Pakistan and US hold counter-terrorism dialogue.

Pakistan says, “US applauded Pakistan’s continued success to contain terrorist entities that pose a threat to the peace and security of the region and the world”.

Hilarious!

DID YOU KNOW?
In 1946, during the Noakhali riots, Ghulam Sarwar allegedly offered the title of ‘Ghazi’ to anyone who raped nationalist leader Sucheta Kripalani.

Knowing the danger, she kept cyanide with her, determined to die before surrendering to such barbarity.

“Setting the record straight on Kashmir”

A refreshingly fact based and on-point summary in @StanfordDaily on the geo-political conflict roiling the world. The author highlights she felt compelled her to write to tackle “the disturbing wave of misinformation and false narratives circulating on campus and online”. Peace can never be built on misinformation.

We thank @TellurianSam – a young student at Stanford and CoHNA volunteer for this hard-hitting article.

As she points out the current narrative has come to include false equivalencies with the conflict in Gaza and attempts to frame the attack as a justified response to India’s supposed “colonization” of Kashmir. Such narratives dangerously distort reality and hinder any sincere effort at peacemaking.

Dear @SenAlexPadilla several of our members and your constituents have shared this email they received today, in response to their plea for you to condemn the recent terrorist attacks on Hindus in #Pahalgam, Kashmir. Like your constituents, we are aghast and shocked at the tone-deaf response which does not even acknowledge the murder of 26 tourists, killed merely for the crime of being Hindu.

How does the brutal killing of 26 Hindus not merit even a passing word of regret or sympathy? How does it instead become a reason to attack India on “religious liberty” - ignoring critical context, recent tragedies, and India's own fight against religious persecution?

You cite the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) as discriminatory. In fact, CAA mirrors the Lautenberg Amendment in the U.S., which began with Congress offering expedited refuge to persecuted religious minorities from the USSR and Iran. CAA does the same — with the Indian Parliament authorizing expedited processing of paperwork for Christians, Hindus, Sikhs and other religiously persecuted minorities fleeing systemic persecution in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.

CAA is not about excluding Muslims — it’s about helping non-Muslims in Muslim-majority countries who have no other homeland. The law doesn't apply to Indian Muslims at all. Comparing it to religious oppression within India is a fundamental misreading.

More surprisingly, in an email requesting help on Kashmir, you completely ignore its painful history-including the brutal ethnic cleansing of over 500,000 Kashmiri Hindus in the 1990s. Kashmir’s original indigenous Hindu residents were driven from their historic homeland by Islamist terror groups and have never been able to return. Many are your constituents living in California!

USCIRF — which you cite — has never once acknowledged their suffering. Nor did USCIRF take up the case of continuous targeted killings in Kashmir — that of teachers, migrant workers, and civil servants — like Rahul Bhat, shot at his desk in 2022. Or the tragedies in Reasi, Dhangri and so many more by Pakistan trained terrorists.

That silence speaks volumes — of a moral failure. When elected leaders ignore the suffering of minorities due to political framing, they betray the very principles of justice and human rights they claim to uphold.

India is a complex, pluralistic democracy facing genuine threats — including cross-border terrorism. Criticism is welcome, but it must be informed, not selective. Dismissing one community’s trauma while amplifying distorted one-sided narratives is not advocacy. It’s erasure.

Senator Padilla, we demand equality and better representation from you. Your statement essentially demeans and dismisses the lived experience and trauma of many of your constituents and their families.

[Dr. S. Jaishankar @DrSJaishankar]

India and Pakistan have today worked out an understanding on stoppage of firing and military action.

India has consistently maintained a firm and uncompromising stance against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. It will continue to do so.
