Before 1947, India and Indians used to occupy lot of mindspace in America and American strategic thought. Thanks to Nehruvian mess, that place was taken over by Pakistanis and that alone is one reason that Pakistan has always managed to punch above its weight!
One most recent example is this- Zed Tarar - perhaps an American of Pakistani ancestry - based in London as State Deptt Urdu spokesperson…. Note his comments yesterday - we are most critical partners but interests aligned with Pak on CT and Afg. This is what Dems Admin is abt 
Zed Tarar or for that matter many others serving US in jobs even lower down the hierarchy- they don’t shy of bidding for Pak. Compare it to Hindus in USA - in influential positions or elsewhere in academia- they r at the forefront of every movement for damaging India. It is REAL!
Take for instance the example of Dismantling Golbal Hindutva Confernce - u all go after that Rutgers lady but how many of us know that those supporting her are majorly Hindus- Purnima Dhavan, Gyanendra Pandey, Nandani Sundar, Sunita Vishwanath, Nikhil Mandalapatti etc etc!
Such was the clout of Indians then that they played the biggest role in 25 years long fight for naturalisation act - be it Bhagat Singh Thind or Akhoy Majumdar or Bhicaji Balsara or Sorabjee Eduljee……all played huge role in fight for naturalisation
It is laughable when an American lectures us on CAA -everytime one argues on CAA, we need to tell them about their own Naturalisation Act of 1790; Thind case of 1923 or Luce-Celler Act of 1946 - that finally granted citizenship rights to all aliens and not just whites/ Africans
