Impact Of Joe Biden's Win On India

 


After defeating Donald Trump, it has been confirmed that Joe Biden will the next President and Kamala Harris will be the next Vice President of the United States. Beginning on a positive note, PM Narendra Modi congratulated the duo for their victory.

 

Now the question arises, How will Joe Biden's win impact India? Biden may be good for India but can create problems for PM Narendra Modi. He has been disappointed by the measures that the Indian government has taken with the implementation of the NRC in Assam and the passage of the CAA into law. Biden wants India to take the necessary steps to restore the rights of Kashmiris. He stated that the restrictions on dissent, such as preventing peaceful protests or shutting or slowing down the internet, weakens democracy. 

 

But, the fact that Kamala Harris will be the first Indian American Vice President of the United States may change Indian engagement with American politics, as well as the United States’ response to issues in India. But, we cannot ignore another fact of Kamala Harris being a centrist like Joe Biden and Obama, which may create a problem. Though, it will not affect India-US relations.

 

So far, Biden may be considered better than Trump. Just look at how Trump recently insulted India by saying it has ‘filthy air’ and Biden tweeted saying that’s not how you talk about friends. Biden has also committed to strengthening the US-India ties. In an Indian-American newspaper, he wrote, "The US and India will stand together against terrorism in all its forms and work together to promote a region of peace and stability where neither China nor any other country threatens its neighbors.

 

We’ll open markets and grow the middle class in both the United States and India, and confront other international challenges together, like climate change, global health, transnational terrorism, and nuclear proliferation." He believes the India-US partnership is the defining relationship of the 21st century, and he plans to strengthen ties between the two countries.

 

Biden believes that there is a lot of scope in bilateral trade. When he traveled to India, he set the goal of taking the bilateral trade to $500 billion, which as of now is a little over U$150 billion.

 

During his presidency, Donald Trump suspended H-1B visas. The Trump administration announced that it would scrap the lottery system and replace it with a process that gives priority to the highest paying jobs. But, Joe Biden has promised to lift Trump's ban. He announced that he will definitely reform country quotas on green cards. So, Biden's win will be really beneficial for Indians trying to become permanent U.S. residents. But, his support of a wage-based allocation process for H-1Bs, may become a problem. 

 

Trump pulled India from both the Iran nuclear deal and the Paris agreement. He forced India to not buy cheaper oil from Iran and Venezuela and buy more expensive oil and gas from the US. While Biden promised to reverse both these decisions. If the US takes a U-turn on Iran, it will give India access to cheaper oil. And if the US will rejoin the Paris Agreement, climate change negotiations would happen at a commonplace and India stands to gain a lot in terms of leading the efforts.

 

US and India signed three agreements under Trump for closer military cooperation due to an increasing threat from China. In 2020, India banned 59 Chinese apps which resulted in a clash between Indian and Chinese troops. Over 20 Indian troops and 35 Chinese troops were reported killed. Biden has committed to strengthening military cooperation between the U.S. and India. But if he eases pressure on China, it could leave India high and dry.

Entrance Exam में भी GST लगाकर गरीबों को उच्च शिक्षा से दूर कर रही मोदी सरकार?

  क्या भारत बिना शिक्षा के विश्व गुरु बन सकता है? अगर ऐसा नहीं तो फिर उच्च शिक्षा को हर दिन महंगा क्यों किया जा रहा है? ये जानते हुए कि आर्थिक स्थिति कमजोर होने के कारण बड़ी संख्या में छात्र उच्च शिक्षा हासिल करने से पहले ही पढ़ाई छोड़ देते हैं। क्या इससे ये मान लिया जाए कि सरकार मान चुकी है कि हम वाट्सऐप यूनिवर्सिटी के जरिए ही लोगों को शिक्षित कर देंगे। ताजा उदाहरण नीट-पीजी की परीक्षा का है।    यह भी पढ़ें:  SSC GD - 2018 Protests - लाठीचार्ज में टूटा हाथ, अभ्यर्थी ने कहा - हाथ टूटा है, हौसला नहीं     नीट का एंट्रेंस टेस्ट नेशनल बोर्ड ऑफ एग्जामिनेशन यानी एनबीई करवाता है। पिछले साल जिन छात्रों ने इसका टेस्ट दिया उन्हें फार्म के लिए 3750 रुपए देने पड़े थे। इस बार जो छात्र इस टेस्ट में बैठना चाहते हैं उन्हें उसी परीक्षा के लिए 4250 रुपए देने पड़ेंगे। सिर्फ यही नहीं बल्कि इसबार जीएसटी लगा दिया गया है। इस टेस्ट में शामिल होने वाले छात्रों को जीएसटी भी चुकाना होगा। यानी समान्य और पिछड़े वर्ग के छात्र 5,015 रुपए एससी-एसटी के छात्र 3,835 रुपए जमा करने के बाद ...

"Shadow Pandemic": Predator and Prey

    "Shadow Pandemic": How Gender-based violence increased during Lockdown? Not safe in the womb, not safe in the house, not safe in the streets, not safe in the dark, not safe in the light, not safe in suits, not safe in shorts, not safe in burquas, not safe anywhere, or let us say 'NOT SAFE AMONG MEN'. If we talk about women, she may have realized that she is not safe in the public only until her husband, father, brother, uncle, son, or let us say "men", made her realize that her own house wasn't safe either.   Gender-based violence   is a hidden consequence. It has appeared as a harsh reality when survival becomes the question. The lockdown which was imposed in March, to curb COVID 19 infections, lead to great challenges, mainly faced by women and children. Women individuals suffering violence at home feared unsafe to live because of selfish humans. On one hand, where people were suffering to struggle for their basic needs like food and s...

Declining Indian Economy: Facing A Tough Time

The recent annual financial stability report released by the RBI on the 27th of December 2019 shows that there’s a structural slowdown in India. The report says that the situation is disturbing. The   IMF   has guided India to take immediate action to revive the economy. Dr. Arvind Subramaniam( Cheif Economic Adviser) and Mr. Josh Felman observed that the economy seems headed for an intensive care unit. How bad is the situation In 1991-92, the Indian economy was facing its worst time ever. The industry growth was -9% and the   GDP   was growing at just 1.1%. Comparing the current situation, the industry growth is -10% and the GDP growth is 4.5%. But, looking at the past data, this growth rate is also under question.  There’s a question mark on GDP figures. It can never be 4.5% as the conditions are similar to 1991-92.  The 2017-18 reports show that the consumer goods production growth rate was 5% and at present it’s -1%. India’s exports were 9% ...
