Around 2000, where there were only 16 lakh Indians in America, today their number has increased to about 50 lakhs. India is the biggest beneficiary of this H-1B visa. Due to this, there has been a wide development in technology and other sectors in both countries. However, close to Trump is making it an issue. However, American society itself is divided into this issue. In such a situation, it will not be easy for the Donalt Trump administration to take any decision.
