Trump’s policies should not affect Indo-US relations
The problems being faced by the IT industry have been raised by India
with the US government from time to time at various levels. India has also
taken up the matter on US visa fee hike. The US has not made any comprehensive
changes to the work visa programmes including H-1B visas so far. But whatever
will be the changes in the US
visa regime they should not result in higher operational
costs and shortage of skilled workers for the $110 billion Indian outsourcing
industry.
US has own agenda and do not base their policy decision on Indian request
for change of visa rule. But remember that JFK, Jimmy Carter and Clinton were
the US Presidents who
were friends to India and so also Obama. Will Trump too carry forward their
friendly policy towards India?
Trump has made the visa issue really serious. Our government should take some strong
steps. People in USA do not care about H1B visa cut which is adversely
affecting Indian IT. Indian IT industries should be blamed for this. They are
the reason why the H1B visa issues became hot potatoes during last election as
the Indian company exploited H1B visas at home as well as abroad for profit.
These companies sent so called IT experts from India for profit and replaced
American IT workers.
We can only request the USA for easier Visa rules. But at the end of the
day it is purely the internal decision of the US people and government.
