Indians, once celebrated as "model immigrants" in the US, are now targets of xenophobic attacks from MAGA supporters. Their presence on H-1B visas has been criticized, with accusations of "taking American jobs" and promoting "casteist attitudes." As online attacks escalate, some fear real-life harassment. The MAGA narrative portrays Indians as job-snatchers, while overlooking their contributions to the US economy. Despite backlash, many Indian-Americans are speaking out, urging awareness of the growing hate, with concerns that digital vitriol could lead to offline violence. The shift in sentiment marks a stark contrast from the community’s previous status in the US.
