Trump has kicked off his second term with a deportation blitz, and India’s caught in the crosshairs. Over 100 undocumented Indian migrants were shackled and shipped back on a military flight just weeks ago, sparking outrage in India—especially in Punjab and Gujarat, where many hail from. Modi government has agreed to repatriate nearly 18,000 more, a move framed as a sop to Trump to keep broader ties intact. To be highlighted, Trump’s tariff threats are a battering ram. He’s called India a “tariff king” and “big abuser,” slamming its high duties on U.S. goods. Trump’s in the driver’s seat. Deportations flex his immigration muscle, H1-Bs give him leverage over tech, and tariffs force India to open its wallet. Trump’s got the upper hand, and Modi’s banking on long-term goodwill—tech ties, defense deals, maybe nuclear energy perks—to balance the scales.
So the question remains, is America’s winning today & India’s betting on tomorrow?
