Congress leader Shashi Tharoor expressed surprise over the Indian-American community's lack of response to recent US policies, including the $100,000 fee for H-1B visa holders. He highlighted that many US lawmakers, including Ami Bera, have raised concerns about these policies, but the diaspora's silence is puzzling. Tharoor emphasized the need for the community to engage more actively in addressing issues that affect them and their home country. The H-1B visa fee hike has been a point of contention, with critics arguing that it disproportionately impacts skilled workers from India. Tharoor linked the fee increase to domestic political agendas in the US, suggesting that it serves to appease certain voter bases. He called for a more vocal and united response from the Indian-American community to protect their interests. #ShashiTharoor #IndianAmericanDiaspora #H1BVisaFee #USPolicyCritique #CommunityEngagement #PoliticalAgenda #VisaHike #DomesticPolitics #GlobalRelations #newsone
