Indians living in the United States feel that Joe Biden has always been a leader with a positive attitude towards India.
If Biden's plans, Indian-Americans would have a significant role to play, which was estimated only when he elected Kamala Harris as the Vice Presidential candidate. So far, more than 20 Indian Americans have found a place in Biden's administration. We talked to some members of his team about what influence Indians could have during Biden's tenure.
Shekhar Narasimhan, founder of AAPI, a group set up to help Biden, said most Indians living in the US believed that only Biden could unite the United States. The group organized a rally for Biden and Harris on 15 August 2020. At the rally, Biden spoke about how Indian Americans are important to his party and country.

Nisha Biswal, Chairperson, US-India Business Council, said, “India-US relations have been strong since the time of Barack Obama. This will be further strengthened during Biden's tenure. Nisha served as Assistant Secretary of State for South Asian Affairs from 2013 to 2017 during the Obama administration.

On the prospects of Indians in Biden's team, Shekhar says, Biden has always been a positive leader for India. Biden knows that India is a very important partner. This is not only because of India's importance globally, but also because Indian Americans have made a significant contribution to America's development.
Biden to strengthen ties with India to counter China
Former Foreign Secretary Kanwal Sibal said relations between India and the United States have progressed so much in the last two decades that a change of government has become futile. In the meantime, both the United States and India have seen different Prime Ministers, Presidents and parties with different ideologies coming and going. Yet instead of changing policies, relations have grown stronger. The Biden administration will strengthen ties with India to deal with China.
