As the US Presidential election is reaching to a decisive phase, many in India debate as to which party will be good for the country, once the final results are declared.
The issue interests me as well. All the more because I am an Indian living in the US. NDTV 24×7 is doing a commendable job of covering the current elections in context to India.
While most Indians are supporting the Democrats in their battle against Republicans for the White House, ironically, analysts say Republicans are probably better for India on issues ranging from outsourcing to the nuclear deal.
Democrat Presidential hopefuls Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are known for their opposition to the nuclear deal. In fact, Obama was one of several Democrat senators who tabled what were called ”killer amendments” to kill the deal.Obama also rubbed Indians the wrong way when his campaign staff called Hillary the Senator from Punjab because of her close ties with the community.
Republican John McCain, on the other hand, has suggested that India should replace Russia in the G-8.
The election is a complicated issue with lot of variables but NDTV 24×7 makes it crisp & extremely simple for me to understand. The incisive India-centric news channel is available in the US only through DirecTV. For more information visit the Squidoo Lens.
