The Indian Immigration Kerfuffle—Part One 

Over the course of the Christmas holidays, while reading posts from immigration proponents zealously defending the right (and imperative!) for Indians to be hired in the American tech sector, I have seen confirmed from Indians themselves many of the observations I make on a daily basis in the much humbler labor sector of manufacturing. I’d already encountered a rather accurate description of the Indian character as I experience it in Jayant Bhandari’s essay “IIndia: It’s Worse Than You Think, by Jayant Bhandari – The Unz Review,” posted on American Renaissance December 19th. I am a daily witness to some of Bhandari’s most damning conclusions about the nature of the Indian character and personality, most especially the precedence they accord their own over all others whenever possible. Add to this their disdain for their White co-workers, and you have an idea what the work atmosphere is like for blue-collar Americans.   

One wonders, of course, as many have over the past week, what supports this arrogance. I mean, it’s not like they’re French or anything, with a long history of creating a many-faceted culture the entire world has envied—and attempted to copy—for centuries. It’s India—hot, stinking, over-populated, feces-strewn India.  

Many participants in this social media kerfuffle have nailed the problems inherent in a liberal policy of Indian migration with deadly accuracy, even as ignorant detractors label them racists and xenophobes. The crux of the problem is that Indians don’t know where they are and do not have the capacity to understand the value of this place called America beyond what can be materially extracted from it. That’s a matter of values and sensibility, which many Americans, expressing themselves energetically on X, see clearly.  

It’s also worth reminding ourselves at this point of what Milo Yiannopoulos and Allum Bokhari had to say in their now famous essay on the alt-right, published in 2019. They wrote, 

For natural conservatives, culture, not economic efficiency, is the paramount value. More specifically, they value the greatest cultural expressions of their tribe. Their perfect society does not necessarily produce a soaring GDP, but it does produce symphonies, basilicas and Old Masters. The natural conservative tendency within the alt-right points to these apotheoses of western European culture and declares them valuable and worth preserving and protecting.

That was one of the clearest and most important descriptions of conservative values I’ve ever read, and those on social media decrying Indian immigration to the US have precisely those values in mind. The coarse, shallow, soulless interests of a people focused exclusively on their material prosperity, but who are at the same time incapable of reaching cultural heights themselves, will not allow the characteristics that underpinned Western cultural triumphs to flourish where their people have settled en masse. Americans instinctually know this, and are rising to the defense of these uniquely Western attributes, lest in time we find them buried under piles of putrid refuse.
