President Biden has nominated Mayor Eric Garcetti to be the next Ambassador to India. Mayor Garcetti has demonstrated poor understanding of India and Indian sub-continent.
During the confirmation hearings, Mayor Garcetti has asserted that as Ambassador he will bring up India's CAA, which grants expedited asylum to persecuted Hindu minority as "core" piece of engagement. He has also claimed human rights violations and discrimination in India.
At a time when the Quad member democracies like US and India must unite to counter the expansionist China, Mayor Garcetti's untruthful, sanctimonious, and undiplomatic attitude and interference in India's internal affair will alienate majority of Indians and cause severe harm to US-India relations.
