US-India relationship at its lowest in 30 years: Indian-American Democrat leader

An Indian-American leader in the Democratic Party has described the current state of the US-India relationship as the worst in 30 years. The assessment came from a prominent figure within the Indian-American political community, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The leader cited recent diplomatic tensions and policy disagreements as contributing factors to the deterioration. Specific incidents or policy shifts were not detailed in the statement.

The relationship between the two countries has historically been strong, with cooperation on defense, trade, and technology. The leader's remarks highlight growing concerns among some Indian-American stakeholders about the trajectory of bilateral ties.

The Biden administration has not yet responded to the characterization. The Indian government has also not issued a formal comment on the matter.
