The Indian diaspora has been actively engaged in various issues, including a protest that spread to the UK, USA, and Europe, as reported by The Federal. Additionally, Indian-American lawmakers have urged the diaspora to enter politics due to a rise in anti-Hindu and anti-desi hate.
The community has also been affected by incidents such as a skydiving plane crash in the US that killed an Indian-origin techie, according to connectedtoindia.com. Furthermore, Indian diaspora groups have welcomed a court ruling on the H1B visa fee issue, with some hailing the verdict as a significant development.
The Indian government has also taken steps to support the diaspora, with India's External Affairs Minister describing the Indian diaspora as a "living bridge" between India and the US, as reported by Firstpost. Moreover, India has announced the opening of eight new consular application centers in the US, as per The Indian Panorama.
