The Indian diaspora in the US and other countries has been actively engaging with issues back home, with protests and support for various causes. For example, the CJP protest has spread to the UK, USA, and Europe, gaining support from the Indian diaspora. Additionally, Indian diplomats in the US are facing a rise in impersonation scams targeting the diaspora.
The community has also been affected by incidents such as a skydiving plane crash that killed an Indian-origin techie. On a more positive note, Indian-origin individuals like Sunita Chandrasekaran are making a mark in the US, and philanthropists like Brij and Sunita Agrawal are donating to healthcare infrastructure in Texas. Furthermore, the Indian diaspora has been welcoming court rulings on issues like H1B visa fees, with many hailing the cancellation of a $100,000 fee.
