- The Anglosphere is still the largest free-market group in the world, a prominent, highly educated research pool for education cooperation, and quite possibly the strongest (and most willing) military axis to balance the rise of China, bound by a shared threat perception.
- Conservatives should realize the value of a future British-Indian-American-Australian axis, the largest free-market group in the world, a highly educated research pool, and the strongest military axis to balance the rise of China.
- For the short-sighted, ahistoric liberals writing about Modi and Trump being authoritarian, nothing will suffice until India allows transgenders in the military, lets Pakistani-backed Islamists take control of the mountains, and until New Delhi voluntarily gives up control of Kashmir.
- But to call Modi or Trump authoritarian, without any media pushback, after Modi won an election with the largest mandate in human history and Trump lost an entire branch of government after the midterm elections, is of course laughable.
- But India is nevertheless a democracy and the only other natural great power in the Asia Pacific region that can, on its own, balance China due to the sheer size of its economy, navy, nuclear deterrence, space program, and most importantly a massive workforce focused on science and tech.
- Conservatives have probably finally correctly surmised that Indian Americans, much like most other Asian Americans, are a conservative bloc who are essentially politically homeless and despised by the left, as the left hates any successful and hard-working socially conservative minority group.
- The left despises Modi for the same reason it despises Trump, Boris Johnson, Scott Morrison, and Bibi Netanyahu — because these leaders believe in sovereignty, nationalism, and balance of power, instead of a global rule by technocratic institutionalists.
