3 min read

Just a few weeks into the Biden Presidency, it’s turning into more and more clear that the Democrats wooed the Indian American neighborhood only for the political donations and have little interest in encouraging the pursuits of India or the Indian American neighborhood. In what reveals the manifestly pro-Pakistan tilt of the USA beneath the Biden-Harris administration, New York State Assembly handed a decision to declare February 5 as Kashmir American Day. It is pertinent to notice that fifth February can also be noticed in Pakistan as Kashmir Solidarity Day.It looks like ages in the past when Vice President Kamala Harris had idlis as she flaunted her Indian heritage sending the Indian liberals right into a tizzy. Turns out, it was all a facade as a decision petitioning New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo to declare February 5 as Kashmir American Day has been handed by the state meeting.Cuomo is the blue-eyed boy of the Democrats and it stays to be seen whether or not he goes forward with recognition of the day or not, and in case he does, there’s no likelihood he would go forward with a transfer with such large geopolitical ramifications with out the consent of the Biden-Harris administration.Unsurprisingly, the decision was sponsored by two Democratic Assemblymen, Nader Sayegh and Nick Perry and states that, “The Kashmiri community has overcome adversity, shown perseverance, and established themselves as one of the pillars of the New York immigrant communities.”It provides, “Kashmiri people living around the world speak the Koshur language and practice their distinct and ancient rites of Islam, Hinduism, and Sikhism; and in the recognition of their unique cultural identity and storied history, which has its roots in the Himalayan foothills and the Pir Panjal Range, helps to keep the Kashmiri identity alive.”The decision additional reads, “The State of New York endeavours to champion human rights including the freedom of religion, movement, and expression for all Kashmiri people, which are embedded within the United States Constitution, through the recognition of diverse cultural, ethnic, and religious identities.”There are indications that the Pakistan Consulate in New York had a task to play within the passing of the decision because it posted a congratulatory message to the New York Assembly, Mr. Sayegh and the American Pakistani Advocacy Group on its Facebook web page.The Hindu quoted a spokesperson on the Indian Embassy in Washington as saying, “We have seen the New York Assembly Resolution regarding Kashmir American Day. Like the U.S., India is a vibrant democracy and the pluralistic ethos of 1.35 billion people are a matter of pride. India celebrates its diversity and rich cultural mosaic including in Jammu and Kashmir, which is an integral and inalienable part of India.”The spokesperson added, “We note with concern the attempt by vested interests to misrepresent the rich cultural and social mosaic of Jammu & Kashmir to divide the people. We will engage with the elected representatives in the New York State on all matters concerning India-U.S. partnership and the diverse Indian diaspora.”One should not overlook that when American forces beneath the Obama administration killed Osama Bin Laden, the then Vice President Biden criticised the operation which was carried out by the US forces in Pakistan. Biden has additionally been awarded the second-highest civilian honour in Pakistan of ‘Hilal-e-Pakistan’.While it’s actually a setback for India, the Americans are additionally being taken for a journey by the Biden-Harris administration particularly when you think about the truth that Pakistan willfully launched the killer of American journalist Daniel Pearl with Democrats seemingly nonetheless having a tender spot for Pakistan.
