  Obama presidency is good for India
Share this debate
 
As America votes, speculation runs rife in India whether Obama presidency would be good for India or not. He does not take kindly to the American jobs being shipped overseas and may resort to tough measures against it, which could hurt the booming outsourcing industry in India. The US position on Kashmir under Obama administration is expected to remain unchanged with emphasis on dialogue and plebiscite. So, the million dollar question is whether Obama presidency is going to change anything so far as India is concerned or not, or the change, if at all, would be nothing for the Indians to be happy about?

yes India needs a president like obama who is friendly 2 citizens
atul : Jun 04, 2009
according to the Obama Policies he is strictly against the Outsourcing of the Job, Becoz of The Job-losses In america, Just Think Logically is it really Possible To Stop the Out-sourcing, he can reduce it To only small extent only becoz he had made Promise to Americans, If he Stopped the out sourcing means The US MNC is now doing The same Work which they used to Out-sourced By Investing More Money, Does This Really Helpful In Boosting their economy i don't think so. even In these Time Of Crisis.

ABID : Nov 29, 2008
Definately his presidency will be helpul to India as his thoughts are clear and he is concious of his path of actions ..he would not take any measure which would unnessarily harm india and reduce its earnings..Obama thinks in the terms of benifits for all
Jyoti Luharuka : Nov 24, 2008
it will be helpful for India in future
rashid : Nov 23, 2008

hello people instead of seeing what obama is going to do u see what u r going to do, stop asking crazy question.
keerthana : Nov 20, 2008
The problem of job for locals will occur to everywhere. Even in our country where were New Indstries are coming up jobs for locals is a prolem.These happens because generally local take matter lightly and do not work hard.While people from outside alaways work hard as thery have to sustain to new place.
DHIREN : Nov 19, 2008
He will do something for india. but doubt is it that he will follow the footsetps of bush.
Ashok Gupta : Nov 19, 2008
I think that anyone but Bush has to be better.
Roberto Carlos Alvarez-galloso : Nov 18, 2008
Actually, it is too early to comment whether Obama's Presidency will be good for India or not. India is a very strong and a friendly country and respect the dignity of all the other countries. America is also very strong and the policies related to India have more or less been remained the same by the country's Presidents in the last few decades. So it's always good to be positive rather than negative hence I hope that Obama's presidency will be good for India.
Shilpi Tandon : Nov 18, 2008
I agree. Obama is constrained to follow party diktats. India conditionally bonds with USA.

Niharika Ghorpade : Nov 16, 2008
undoubtedlly, obama has make the history in not only in america but also all over world. it has good news for all country that one black president who become strongest power of the world and also all that he have not any high attitude which show that he become the president of america and he can do any thing. after all he is making a communication with every countries and promising that he will change the world. OBAMA has also talk to the prime minister of india dr. manmohan singh that he can emerged alot attention on india's projects and also N'deal. [in future there will a close relation between 'INDIA AND AMERICA' ------ ------OBAMA SAID TO MAMOHAN SINGH] so it will sure that there will be a great and relation between both country. obama will become the fortune for india.

Seems to be, but as per current situation (economical, political & other problems are concerned for) of the world the McCain John will be better as far. But as far as Empowering the coloured people is concerned for the BARECK HUSSEIN OBAMA II will be the Best for the world as well as for INDIA.

What you see on media and what really happens on ground level, on daily basis is different. Remember, for India the Democrats have been very favorable in more than one way. This hype of about Indians loosing job is unfounded. They don't have the talent and hence they need to ship these jobs to us. We are not snatching from deserving American. I think Obama regime could be of consolidating Indian influence on world scene.
Hemant : Nov 18, 2008
MeritTrac Services Pvt. Ltd. : Nov 18, 2008
Well America and not India is need of a strong ally in South East Asia. We also donot have the resources like China to open the Fourth Dimension as a regional superpower after USA and Russia constituting the two main dimensions. I do not think a country like USA would overlook us now and bring about changes which can effect our relations. Pre electoral promises are one thing but post elections they have to swing as per the countries momentum.
Manu : Nov 18, 2008
Dear Yogi, India is source of Yogisa9enlightened ones)We will never bother on any restrictions as our potential if not used they will only be loosers.Indians are so strong that we will never bend to any impositions .We will survive and they will suffer
narayana : Nov 18, 2008
I disagree with the proposition on account of the fact that Obama's views about India are very premature and his notions of India's relations with U.S. and other countries need more clarification in the current scenario
krishnan unni.p : Nov 18, 2008
No, Obama's policies are not in favour of India... Because he is favour to decrease the outsourcing in india....This may affect our ITs industry and ITES industry...
Pawan Chand : Nov 17, 2008
Obama is think of redusing the outsourcing jobs. That means lot of call centers closing down, more job opportunity in US and more unemployment in India i dont wheather that would be good for India.
Abhijit Sawant : Nov 17, 2008
His policies of levying more tax on the companies that outsource would be a disaster for India. On Kashmir, the plebiscite wouldn't be in India's favor. Above everything, Obama wants a strong relation with China, which could be a cause of concern for India. Bush's policies with regard to India were very liberal.

shankar : Nov 11, 2008
if we look 50 to 60 back america all the time wanted to dominate the world and also intrefered in indo pak relationship and nuclear test. obama also son of that land.
pradeeppradhan : Nov 09, 2008
he will die hard to prove more american than any body else
SHM : Nov 08, 2008
Obama has always maintained policy of job preference for the Americans. With the global recession and job cuts huanting american citizens, his first probable step would be cut the foriegn manpowerr in America which will directly affect a large section of NRIs and other Indians
