Nope. Polls show that
While I ascribe to traditional republican views I sometimes do think that some desis tend to be more loyal to the King than the King himself. Dunno why. Maybe they think it makes them 'acclimatise' more? In reality they are being used as a humor prop

There are more than 2 million Hindu's and close to 1 million Sikhs in USA. Sikhs are completely neutral when it comes to Muslims but they are totally against Hindutatva forces. Trump should have stayed away from generalization that India = Hindu, only 75% Indians are Hindu.

How comes for such a small people sikhs have the most people in foreign countries in comparison with their population?

Sikhs were the first immigrants from South Asia to Canada, just a case of being at right place at right time.
They were recruited in large numbers in British Indian Army to fight in World Wars and managed to spread all over the World.
Sikhs live like Kings in Punjab and are massively over-represented in Armed forces. They are not some miserable community like Kashmiris or Balochs or Sri Lanka Tamils or Ahmadis who are fleeing some genocide back home and hence have to relocate somewhere else.
Asylum LOLS. Sikhs have been migrating to Western Nations since the start of 20th century. Persecuted by who actually?

Sikhs want a good quality of life and don't think they can get that in Punjab even though it is one of the more affluent states in India. They are a go getter community but the way things are going they may become a minority in Punjab, currently only 57% of Punjab is Sikh. I'm sure it was 65% a couple of decades ago.
They are not fleeing persecution, it is all for a better material quality of life. I have cousins from Punjab and they have left to go to Australia simply because there are more opportunities there not because they felt they were in danger.

If Trump wins then it will be dangerous for all minorities even though he may be a better candidate than Hilary whom I don't trust at all. At least with Trump what you see is what you get.

So you think Sikhs are persecuted in India?)
That's what they say was the case 30 years ago
And that's why Khalistan movement has so much support among the Sikh diaspora

Punjab has always been rich, not because of India but in spite of India. You will hardly find any baluch outside Pakistan yet you'll meet millions of Sikhs outside India. You can believe what you want but the truth is for all to see.

My belief was that Modi supporters are going for Trump...similar appeals...tough no nonsense guy, against bureaucracy and establishment politics. Plus the anti-Pakistan element.
If he comes in to power he'll forget everything he told them to win votes. If he's the next President will have a zillion other things to do then pick a fight with Pakistan just to please India. Indian thinking is immature as always, they think way to highly about themselves and their country.

India in it's attempts to rule the entire sub continent is obsessed with Pakistan. America is involved in enough war's, it doesn't want to pick a fight with a nuclear power. China will never sit idly if this happens not because they love us but have their own interests that are aligned with ours. USA attacking Pakistan on behest of India will turn the entire sub continent and China in to a massive war zone. Even Trump knows this.

Well noisy ones always attract the most attention. Most American Indians are nice, quite intelligent and different from the crowd you see on the Media. The ones that hosted Trump were Modi loving nationalists.
I have met a good few Indian American's. Interestingly many off them want nothing to do with India. Those in particular born in America don't consider anything Indian about themselves, They can't remotely relate to Bollywood or anything else considered Indian. They are decent because all off them are kept away from Indian propaganda and war mongering. Through impartial eyes they know and fully acknowledge that India is a poor third world country.

This reminds me of how some jews supported Hitler. They believed they would be untouchable and Hitler was just saying things. After Hitler won, he put them in gas chambers

What he says (at the start of his post) is true. There are quite a few Indians (heck desis) in USA who want nothing to do with their homeland...they don't even eat the same food. But at the end of his post, he simply links up a fact (about a certain segment) with the narrative inside his head. Confirmation bias. This is the same fella who calls Dhoni a tailender in ODIs no less. Hehe.
...similarly many Indian's believe Pakistan is better then India as well.
But Jews never had a country at the time. Hitler did not have to fight against 200 million Jews armed to teeth with nukes like Trump will have to do if he wants to take us on. Pak is not supporting Trump by the way, by and large we couldn't care less who wins the American elections.

If there ever was a more concise answer. It's kinda sad and petty that full grown adults have such a Jingoistic view but I guess after the imaginary strikes going bust Modi and his mates have completely lost the plot
It's for everyone to see where India is headed with immature thinking and where Pak is headed with mature thinking!!! Kuchh bhi?
So you think Sikhs are persecuted in India?
I believe Prime Minister Manmohan Singh really disliked Sikhs, but not as much as President Zail Singh

Havan for Hillary in Kashi
VARANASI: Hillary Clinton, the Democratic Party nominee for the 2016 Presidential election of the United States, would have no idea that some of his well-wishers in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Kashi have performed religious rituals to propitiate the God for her victory over her rival and Republican nominee Donald Trump. Putting a poster of Clinton with 'tilak' on her forehead a group of Modi fans performed havan and abhishek of Siddheshwar Mahadev with milk and panchamrit in Sidheshwari Gali on Monday after an 11-day 'Rudri' path.
"We performed 'Dugdhabhishek' (milk offering) of the deity at Siddheswarnath Temple for the victory of Hillary Clinton. We believe that her victory will unfold a new chapter of Indo-US relationship," said Gulshan Kapoor, a BJP leader and one of the organisers of the event. The Dugdhabhishek was followed by a havan.
"It was the 'purnahuti' (completion of rituals) after 'Ekadash Rudri Paath' (recital of mantras for 11 days)," said the priest Pandit Rakesh Mishra adding that such rituals are believed to be helpful for Clinton in her win. The rituals were performed by a group of five Brahmins. Kapoor said that Hillary Clinton as well as her husband and former US President Bill Clinton had good relation with India. "Her victory in presidential election will be the victory of 'Nari Shakti' (women power) to counter the terrorism," he said. However, the members of Hindu Sena had already performed havan for the victory of Donald Trump at Jantar Mantar in New Delhi in May this year.

Where are they heading? I'm not sure that a public which elects a party based on Hindu revivalism reflects mature thinking as such. If anything it seems to suggest regression and idiotic assertions that cosmetic surgery was invented in India.

Cosmetic nope,but surgery is well documented in ancient Indus Valley civilization and obviously everyone will claim to their own version of things but there is enough proof of scripts on the same.

And how do you know how many people subscribe to that theory in India?
Infact not offending any religion and I have great respect for Islam...by that logic how many people blindly follow a book written 2000 years ago despite of their age,social status etc.?...Isn't that a huge basis of getting power in a lot of countries and by that I dont mean monarchies like the middle east but countries that are backward and getting torn apart by poverty and terrorism?

I think you mean not "everyone" but where the Indian media thinks they are heading. I didn't say Pak was laying golden eggs under Nawaz Sharif. We live in the real world where as you do in the fantasy one. That is the difference between us.

It seems more folks are angry at Indians supporting Trump than Trump winning the US elections. Perplexing.
It won't matter. Most promises made by Trump will be flushed down the toilet once he enters the White House. He's the President of America not the Prime Minister of India. Due to the Zionist lobby America's only unconditional friend is Israel.

Congratulations to the Hindu community for proving their worth as game changer in global politics by sending Hindu supporter Trump to the White House for a second term.
It is worth noting that Hindu vote bank has been consolidated in Canada and is expected to have a major impact on Canadian elections next year.
Kudos to the Sanatanis.

Very true, past year has taught us well how useless and pathetic all this electoral drama is in US when entire Congress is leached like a pet to the Zionist Israeli regime. They invade countries, go to wars and still play dirty politics abroad based on their Lords pulling the strings regardless of who represent Americans at White House

How do you know that they were 'majority'? What happens on a few news outlets hardly represents the opinion of the 'majority '.
Most Indians in the US are traditional Republican voters. The fact that a woman of half-Indian origin was the presidential candidate for the Democrats would not have made much difference.

I live in a liberal state so most of my Indian friends hate trump. I understand that dynamic changes in red states for some reason.
I would say about 60-40 among my friends here.
The ones that support Trump are business owners and heavily invested in stock market.
The ones that oppose Trump think he is racist and a clown. Too many funny clips of Trump appear on social media that influence their decision.
One thing is clear. The support for republicans is growing each election and this is my 3rd time voting.

Agreed. Anecdotal evidence from my family suggests young Indian Americans strongly support the Dems - there was a lot of volunteering, attending rallies etc. among my nieces and nephews.
Older folks - basically first gen Indian Americans seem to have moved rightwards. There's strong biases against affirmative action, LGBT protections, high taxes etc.
60-40 sounds about right though I can't find any recent studies. The Carnegie poll of Indian Americans in 2020 seems to suggest a 70-30 Democratic tilt.
Interestingly the fact that Kamala was half Indian seems to have played no significant part in voting preferences as far as I can see.

Vivek would had gotten more Indian Hindu Americans to the right, no way is Kamala seen as Indian among Indians here, she is lucky she got black vote only coz Trump was in opposition, if not there was lot of anti-Kamala sentiment from Male Black voters too.
Latin overall seem to have rejected Kamala in majority.

I think open embrace of the trans agenda has turned off a lot of traditional family minded cultures of Latinos and South Asians. Democrats went full on extra-feminist and trans where normal common sense was lost, hence loss of male votes and family votes.

Yeah seems so, the swing states swung Democrats out of the picture.
Democrats are right now indulged in infighting between Kamala and Biden campaign, probably the worst time to be in Democrats right now, lowest point since Peace boy Jimmy Carter.

Went through a lot of Liberal and democratic podcasts.
The analysis is so superficial and reeks of arrogance. The basic gist "We had the right message and the right solution, we couldn't communicate. The revolution word has been hijacked by the conservative, traditionalists". A complete disconnect from reality.

My family members and friends who were dem voters many have switched to Trump this time. Its a mixed age group. Older generation have become majority Trump supporters. Younger generation self employed or business owners are also voting Trump.
Indian origin people who were labour voters in UK and dem voters in USA are shifting towards Tories and GOP. This is a marked shift.

I don't think she really identified as Indian or Black prior to the elections, she probably only brought it up because she was looking for ethnic votes. Not surprised she didn't really connect with those people. Her liberal mindset certainly wouldn't align with Indians, and not sure they would with blacks either.

There are only around 3-million Indians in Canada. Out of that number, a lot are what you may label as "Khalistanis". So, not a major impact. LOL.
Anyway, Trudeau is likely to lose because he is unpopular with many different groups (particularly with white Canadians who are the majority).
Its more of a vote against Biden than a vote for Trump. Muslims are angry at USA's support for Israel clearly. Trump might actually work towards a solution for all the wars around the world.Muslim Americans voted for Trump too
This guy managed to convince all religions he is their messiah.
Trump thanked Arab Americans for their support in his speech after he won the elections.
As of 2021, Sikhs are 0.72 Million in Canada while Hindus are 0.83 Million. Pretty even stevens in terms of numbers. Total Indian population is less than 2 Million.
Considering how small of a minority are Sikhs in India, this is some industrial scale immigration from one particular community(Sikhs) to Canada. Once they reach Canada, they become Khalistanis.

I think the number is now close to 3-million. Last census was in 2021.
Anyway, point is Indian vote is not a big factor in Canada yet. Indian population in Canada is not that big.
Trudeau is very likely to lose but that's because he is unpopular with white Canadians (majority) and many different minority groups. It is due to issues like job crisis, housing crisis, worsening healthcare, law and order, Israel-Gaza issue etc.
