India-US ties: Up, close and personal
Six months ago, at the White House, President Donald Trump and Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi were describing each other as 'great' and 'dear' friends, recalling the reverberating echoes of Howdy Modi in Houston (2019) and Namaste Trump in Ahmedabad (2020), and outlined an ambitious vision of India-US relations in an over 3,000-word-long joint statement. Even as Canada rubbished Trump's call for it to become the 51st state, Nato, Japan, and South Korea wondered about the credibility of the US nuclear umbrella, and Europeans did their best to reassure a beleaguered Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv, the February visit reassured India that the Modi-Trump relationship was intact and India-US ties were on a positive trajectory. Opinion polls across the world noted that Indians were the most optimistic about Trump's second term. Bilateral trade talks began soon after. Five rounds have taken place but trade deals take long, years at times. But Trump's qualities do not include patience and subtlety. To push the Indians, he added a 25% tariff with a deadline of July 31. Also, his second term was promising to be very different from his first. In his inaugural speech, he had talked of ending wars, of leaving behind a legacy as a 'unifier and peacemaker'. It soon became clear that in addition to deploying his favourite policy tool, tariffs, to get his trade deals, his goal was the Nobel Peace Prize, preferably in the first year itself. His tactics seemed to be working. The US has announced new trade deals with the EU, UK, Japan, and South Korea, covering more than 25% of US foreign trade, though details haven't been worked out. In addition, negotiations are underway with over a dozen countries. China is playing hardball, and using its leverage to restrict exports of rare earth magnets. Canada and Mexico have their own leverage. China's tactics may be working as the US has already relaxed its export controls on H20 chips to China. On Trump's peace-President agenda, progress has been slow. The two big conflicts that Trump had promised to sort out quickly, Ukraine and Gaza, have proved difficult. Both Russian president Vladimir Putin and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu have their own ideas about their objectives and have been stringing Trump along. However, Trump has been nominated for the peace Nobel jointly by the presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia and by PM Hun Manet of Cambodia for brokering the ceasefire between Thailand and Cambodia. The White House has also highlighted his role in ending the conflicts between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Serbia and Kosovo, and Egypt and Ethiopia. And somewhat cheekily, for the ceasefire between Israel and Iran especially after Trump came to Israel's help by firing Tomahawk missiles and deploying B2 bombers to deliver the GBU 57 bombs on Iranian targets. Netanyahu has mollified Trump by nominating him for his role in the 2020 Abraham Accords that enabled Israel to normalise relations with the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan. Putin is now scheduled to have a bilateral meeting with Trump in Alaska on August 15 but Ukraine and the Europeans are not invited. Meanwhile, secondary sanctions on Russia's oil exports have been introduced and India (collateral damage) will attract a 25% penalty, an incremental tariff on exports to the US, effective August 27. However, the India-Pakistan crisis is perhaps where Trump feels let down by his 'great friend Modi'. India was upset at Trump pre-empting the ceasefire announcement on May 10 and claiming credit that it was a 'US-brokered ceasefire'. Since then, he has repeated the claim more than 25 times adding how he prevented a nuclear war, and he employed the threat of cutting trade if they continued. Each time, it was denied by Indian foreign office and military officials, and most recently by the external affairs minister S Jaishankar and defence minister Rajnath Singh, in Parliament. Meanwhile, Pakistan was quick to thank Trump for his positive role and expressed the hope that he could remain engaged and mediate on Kashmir, while nominating him for the Nobel Peace prize. Encouraged by Pakistan, Trump invited Modi to the White House on June 18 on his way back from the G-7 meeting in Canada but was turned down. Trump was presumably trying to set up a meeting with Pakistan army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir, who was invited to lunch the same day. With so much happening, it's easy to lose sight of the big picture. Relations between States are governed by national interests and patient negotiations. Good ties between leaders can help but cannot be the principal driver. That's why neither Modi nor Trump is going to pick up the phone to resolve their misunderstanding. The end of the Cold War provided the impetus for the shift in India-US relations when President George H W Bush (41) and PM PV Narasimha Rao took the initiative in 1992 to initiate a dialogue on nuclear issues and the first baby steps for defence cooperation were taken. Gradually, despite ups and downs, and changes in governments in both countries, the positive trajectory continued and a bipartisan consensus based on mutual trust and converging interests evolved. If the nuclear tests in 1998 marked a low point, the Strobe Talbott-Jaswant Singh dialogue, and the positive US intervention in 1999 during the Kargil conflict restored trust. The story was repeated after the attack on Indian Parliament in 2001 and during Balakot, when the US facilitated the quick release of Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman from Pakistani custody. There is a difference between backchannel diplomacy and public diplomacy. While Trump has a fondness for TruthSocial, India's geography dictates prudence. The US is larger than Trump just as India is larger than Modi, and there is life after Trump and there is life after Modi. This becomes clearer if interests are given primacy as foreign policy drivers. It also helps avoid the trap of believing one's own propaganda. The simple question is: Is it in India's national interest to sustain relations with the US. The answer should be obvious. Rakesh Sood was ambassador to Afghanistan, Nepal, and France, and served as PM's Special Envoy on Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament. The views expressed are personal.

Indian H-1B visa holder shares quick, smooth renewal experience in Jamaica
As visa appointment backlogs continue at US consulates in India, some H-1B visa holders are choosing other countries for faster processing. One Indian national recently detailed the experience of renewing his H-1B visa in Jamaica, describing the process as quick, efficient, and much less stressful than in India. One Indian national recently shared his detailed experience of renewing his H-1B visa in Jamaica(Pexel) The user, who goes by 'noobvorld' on Reddit, shared his experience on the platform's H-1B community in a post titled, 'My H-1B visa stamping experience in Jamaica.' 'I recently completed H1B visa stamping in Jamaica and wanted to share my experience to help others considering this option. My H-1B was expiring in September, and I needed to get it renewed without the hassle of booking appointments in India,' he wrote. Why choose Jamaica? He explored several third-country national options before picking Jamaica. Canada was fully booked through 2026, but Jamaica had 'plenty of availability.' He used to compare wait times, calling it 'incredibly helpful.' Immigration in Jamaica Indians do not need a visa to enter Jamaica, but must complete a C5 immigration form online before arrival. About his entry experience, he wrote, 'When asked by the officer about the purpose of my visit, I mentioned the visa appointment and was quickly allowed entry. The entire process took about 10 minutes.' Also Read: Setback for Indians? Trump's WH approves major H-1B visa overhaul, set to prioritize higher wages over lottery system US visa: DS-160 must match appointment location He began by filling out and submitting the DS-160 form, then booked an appointment for early July. He advised, 'Your DS-160 must match your appointment location. You can only update your DS-160 in your application for appointment ONCE, so be careful. If you initially filled it for a different location, you can change it to Jamaica later, but you only get one update.' The documents he prepared included: Current passport Old visa DS-160 confirmation page Appointment confirmation and instructions Photo Job offer letter Original I-797 LCA copy Employment verification letter Travel and stay He flew from New York's JFK to Kingston on July 27 and returned from Montego Bay on August 2. US Embassy interview His embassy interview was on July 28. He reported smooth entry, quick biometrics, and a short wait time. The interview questions focused on his employment and education history. The visa was approved on the spot. He said, 'There were about 40 people ahead of me in line for the interview, but the line moved relatively quickly. I was out of the consulate about an hour after entering. If you've experienced US Embassy interviews in Mumbai or Delhi, this will feel much smoother and better organized.' The passport was issued the next day, July 29, and he picked it up on July 30 after requesting expedited processing. Embassy staff accommodated his request, allowing the collection a day earlier than scheduled. He said Jamaica proved to be an excellent third-country option for H1B stamping. The process was efficient, the people were welcoming, and he even got to enjoy some beautiful beaches.

Indians sent abroad enough money in a decade to build 62 IITs, says RBI data
Indians have sent an eye-watering Rs 1.76 lakh crore abroad over the last decade to fund the education of students studying overseas, new data from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has revealed. The amount is so huge that it could have paid for the construction of over 60 new 2023–24 alone, students remitted about Rs 29,000 crore abroad for their studies, almost the same as the previous year. A decade ago, this figure was just Rs 2,429 crore. That means education remittances have shot up by nearly 1,200% in ten RBI shared this information in response to a Right to Information (RTI) request, with the figures originally in US dollars and later converted into rupees using the current exchange rate.A DECLINE IN STUDENT TRAVEL, BUT SPENDING STILL HIGH Interestingly, the number of Indians going abroad for education actually fell by 15% in 2024 compared with 2023, as several countries tightened their visa data shows that 7,59,064 students travelled overseas for studies in 2024, down from 8,92,989 in 2023. But the number is still much higher than before the pandemic. In 2019, just under 5.9 lakh students went SPENDING VS INDIA'S EDUCATION BUDGETThe scale of spending abroad becomes clearer when compared with India's higher education budget. The Union government has allocated about Rs 50,078 crore to the Department of Higher Education for 2025–26. Over the last year alone, Indians spent more than half this amount just on overseas education. Over the last ten years, the total outflow is more than three times the government's entire annual higher education put it another way, if the cost of setting up an IIT today is about Rs 2,823 crore, the amount remitted abroad in the last year alone could have funded over 10 IITs. The total 10-year outflow could have built around 62 of CLARITY ON BANK CHARGESWhile the RBI has detailed how much money is leaving India for education, it has no information on the bank charges or currency exchange mark-ups that students and their families pay when transferring money abroad. The central bank also did not have data on how much of these remittances are processed by banks compared to non-bank entities such as fintech 2018 to 19 onwards, RBI figures show the number of education remittance transactions has risen sharply — from 3.63 lakh in 2018–19 to nearly 10 lakh in 2022–23, before slightly easing to 9.43 lakh in 2023– data paints a clear picture: Indian families are spending more than ever to send their children overseas for higher education. And while the numbers show a boom in foreign education spending, they also raise tough questions about the quality, capacity, and affordability of higher education at home.(Disclaimer: The views, opinions, recommendations, and suggestions expressed by experts/brokerages in this article are their own and do not reflect the views of the India Today Group.
