I suppose India is next on the list to be labeled, along with Russia, as suspect and subversive meddlers in the election because they are ‘celebrants’ of the Trump’s victory.

Field report from Tampa Florida - The Hindu Community, spontaneously, and at its own expense campaigned for Trump and turned out its own vote, independent of the Hillsborough County Republican Party. For example, they printed and distributed 5,000 full color yard signs, a $40,000.00 expense in itself.

The Chinese American group also paid a lot around the country for the airplanes with banners for Trump...those with half a brain understand economics.

India also plans to benefit big time from a Trump Administration. It is one of the logical places to move overseas production in China.

Labor costs are not all that different. China has benefited from MFN trading status and a superior infrastructure. India is closing the gap on infrastructure and China shouldn't have MFN trading status as long as it continues its military saber rattling.

They both can be interpreted to mean the same thing though when you think about it :-).

Rejoicing and dancing is the Bollywood tradition. And many thanks for the Ravi Shankar video.

I've maybe only seen 10 Bollywood movies in my life, but I know Trump would appreciate the wedding dance from Kal Ho Naa Ho.
