印度-美国领导人拒绝脱离接触的主张,强调公民关注,并警告反对反印度立法。 Indian-American leader rejects claim of disengagement, stresses civic focus and warns against anti-India legislation.

印度裔美国人基金会执行主任苏哈格·舒克拉(Suhag Shukla)反对国会议员沙希·塔鲁尔(Shashi Tharoor)关于印度裔美国人脱离印度-美国关系的说法,称这种说法是歪曲事实。 Suhag Shukla, executive director of the Hindu American Foundation, pushed back against Congress MP Shashi Tharoor’s claim that Indian-Americans are disengaged on India-U.S. relations, calling the assertion a misrepresentation. 她强调,印裔美国人作为美国公民,优先考虑美国的利益,不应期望他们充当印度的代理人。 She emphasized that Indian-Americans, as U.S. citizens, prioritize American interests and should not be expected to serve as proxies for India. Shukla强调他们的不同观点和积极的公民参与,警告一些以美国为基地、由国际基金会资助、对印度有负面形象的团体所推动的叙事。 Shukla highlighted their diverse perspectives and active civic engagement, warning against narratives pushed by some U.S.-based groups funded by international foundations that portray India negatively. 她还告诫不要像加利福尼亚州SB509这样的立法,因为她说,这种立法可以使种族貌相和武器化,破坏公民自由。 She also cautioned against legislation like California’s SB509, which she said could enable ethnic profiling and weaponize the “dual loyalty” trope, undermining civil liberties.
