According to the Global Network, after the British Conservative Party official Sunak entered the final election of the prime minister, he was excited by Indian netizens, who not only paid attention to the election process, but also cheered for Sunak on social networking sites, hoping that he could defeat Tesla and become the pride of India.
Indian praise for Sunak began in April, when Johnson was in danger of stepping down and was widely condemned for not having his wife, Murtti, for not becoming a British citizen.
Previously, during Sunak's tenure as Finance Minister, he levied high taxes on British nationals to ease inflation, but Multi took advantage of the loophole in the law to evade taxes because he was not a British citizen. You know, Multi is the daughter of India's IT giant, and the fees to be paid are much higher than ordinary people.
In response, Sunak said That Murty was not naturalized because she loved India and would one day return to her hometown. The Indian netizens who heard this directly had a spiritual climax, and the Indian media also forwarded it one after another, describing the Sunak family as "in cao ying's heart in Han".
Don't you think this scene is a bit familiar? Yes, during the 2020 US election, Indian netizens also cheered Harris. After the biden team won the election, the Indian media affectionately called Harris "India's daughter", from beginning to end, Harris has not responded positively, but this does not affect the Indians' self-congratulation.
After Biden was diagnosed with the new crown, although the White House spokesman repeatedly stressed that the president has mild symptoms and ability to handle government affairs, Indian netizens still hyped up "Harris will replace Biden to perform the presidency." In the end, if Harris and Sunak get what they want, the Indians will not be able to come out of the whole "double male meeting"?
But what about the facts? Both Harris and Sunak belong to the second and third generations of immigrants from European and American countries, that is, they were born Americans and British, and in addition to skin color and appearance, they retained the characteristics of Indians, and had no half-cent relationship with India.
Even if they say something that is favorable to India, it is only to get the vote of their own Indian voters, not to want to contribute to India. Even when there is a conflict of interest between their own country and India, they will beat a rake and try to smear India and gain the favor of the locals.
Indians tout these Immigrants of Indian descent who have made a difference in all walks of life are nothing more than to satisfy their own pitiful self-esteem and vanity, creating the illusion that "Indians are good".
Realistically speaking, India does have a lot of outstanding talents, but most of them have emigrated overseas, and they are not Indians at all. Indians are one of the fastest-growing immigrant groups in the United States, doubling their population on average every decade, the data shows. By 2018, the population of Indian descent in the United States had reached 4.8 million, while in 2000, the figure was only 1 million.
Compared with African-Americans and Latinos, Indians are generally regarded as top students among American immigrants, mostly in senior jobs such as management, IT, and business. In 2019, 79 percent of Indians had a bachelor's degree or above, and the median household income of Indian descent was as high as $132,000, far higher than the $66,000 of local U.S. households.
More well known is the place of the Indian community in the U.S. tech industry. While Indians make up less than 1 percent of the U.S. population, they make up 8 percent of executive positions at U.S. tech companies. Among the Silicon Valley technology giants, the proportion of Founders of Indian descent is as high as 1/3.
Behind the bright report card is the reality of India's high brain drain rate. Since independence, in order to achieve the goal of rejuvenating the country through science and education, India has spent a lot of money to train a number of high-level technical talents, but due to social environment, welfare benefits, scientific research conditions and other reasons, nearly 600,000 outstanding students have been selected to stay overseas, and 4,000 industry experts have immigrated to Europe and the United States.
Among them, it is the IT brain drain that is the most serious. Between 1996 and 1998 alone, 80% of IT graduate students studied abroad or immigrated to Europe and the United States. According to the United Nations Talent Development Report, India loses up to $2 billion in talent training every year.
In response to this situation, the Indian media specially invented a word called "cow phenomenon": cows eat grass in India, milking foreigners, the Indian government spent a lot of money to cultivate talents, but finally ran to contribute to foreigners, compared with Sunak, Harris, what is the level of officials who stay in India, these two days there is a chief minister of Punjab who drank the water of the Ganges, because of stomach infection and was admitted to the hospital.
For developed countries in Europe and the United States, Indian immigrant talents are just the icing on the cake; For India, these talents may be the hope of rejuvenating the country. As the "light of Asian democracy" in the eyes of the Western media and the world's most populous country, India has not yet fully industrialized, and it has not been able to turn the population burden into a demographic dividend.
Law and order are chaotic, the streets are dirty, the infrastructure is fragile, the corruption is serious, the class is solidified... Step by step, the enthusiasm and hope of the Indian people were extinguished, lying flat all day long, praying that they could reincarnate into high-caste families in the next life. For them, occasionally looking up to the sunaks and Harris who are born together is probably the heroic dream of a tired life.
