WASHINGTON – The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has significantly invested in its relationship with India over the past four years, seeing the country as a crucial partner in counterbalancing the rise of China.
Military cooperation and a personal friendship between Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India both domineering nationalists have pushed New Delhi and Washington closer.
Now, as President-elect Joe Biden is set to move into the White House, U.S. diplomats, Indian officials and security experts are resetting their expectations for relations between the world’s two largest democracies.
On one hand, experts said, Biden’s administration will most likely pay more attention to India’s contentious domestic developments, where Modi’s right-wing party has been steadily consolidating power and becoming overtly hostile toward Muslim minorities. Trump has largely turned a blind eye.

Few places better demonstrate the ongoing demographic and political transformation of Texas than Fort Bend County. Located right outside of Houston, it is one of the most diverse parts of the country, with burgeoning immigrant communities and a population that is one quarter Hispanic and one fifth Asian. Churches sit next to synagogues, and mosques next to mandirs. And if there were a prototype for the Trump-era Democrat, it would have been Sri Preston Kulkarni, who ran for Congress in 2018 and 2020 for Texasâs Twenty-second District, which includes the vast majority of Fort Bend County.
