Indian-origin scholar and author Amitav Acharya busted the MAGA H-1B narrative and said it is a misconception that H-1B visa holders from India are stealing jobs from Trump supporters. Both groups have completely different levels of skill, Acharya said on the NYT podcast 'Interesting Times with Ross Douthat' as he spoke about India as the next global leader in waiting. Acharya said India is winning the standoff between America and China, as India, unlike China, does not want to become a superpower in the same senseas China.
"I have lived in China, actually, much longer in the last 20 years than I have lived in India, and in China, there’s an obsession with being No. 1. They won’t say it, they won’t admit it, but they compete with the United States to overtake the United States. They have all sorts of studies looking at the relative power of nations," Acharya said as he also touched upon the issues of tariff, Russia and Pakistan.
