Indian migrants face tough times in America. Authorities deport one illegal Indian immigrant after another. Estimates suggest over 750,000 undocumented Indians live in U.S. Analysts wonder: how did so many reach there?
Meanwhile, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi paints dreams of a land attracting foreign job-seekers. Reality tells a different story—crippling income inequality, scarce good jobs, and market slowdowns push citizens into hardship. Desperate, many leave their homeland.
Yet, Modi’s BJP government masks failures with tales of Bangladeshi infiltrators. Critics ask: how long can promises of progress and bright futures sustain Modi?
One February morning, Indian TV screens flashed grim scenes—shackled Indian migrants boarded military planes, sent back from U.S. Chasing American dreams, these people landed in despair.
