🇮🇳 PM Modi's first remark amid #TRUMP 's H-1B visa fee hike to $1,00,000: ‘Our biggest enemy is…’💬

In response to President Trump's H-1B visa fee hike to $100,000, PM Modi made a powerful statement emphasizing India’s self-reliance. Speaking in Bhavnagar, Gujarat, he said:

“India’s biggest enemy is our dependence on other countries.”

“We must defeat this enemy together. We need to become Atmanirbhar (self-reliant) and stand strong on the world stage.”

PM Modi’s comment follows Trump’s recent immigration reforms, which include a significant rise in the H-1B visa fee, mostly impacting Indian tech workers. The H-1B visa, used by many professionals in the US tech industry, now has a $100,000 fee, up from less than $1,000.

India’s Path Forward

PM Modi urged that India must harness its potential to thrive independently. He blamed the license-quota raj era, where India was isolated from global markets, for delaying progress. He also criticized Congress for neglecting India’s capabilities post-independence.

🇺🇸 Trump’s H-1B Visa Fee Hike

The H-1B visa program, which awards 85,000 visas annually via lottery, now faces a $100,000 fee, part of Trump’s plan to protect native-born wages. With India accounting for 75% of these visas, the fee hike creates challenges for Indian tech professionals working with US companies.

PM Modi’s message of self-reliance remains more relevant than ever as India navigates these changes and seeks to become less dependent on foreign systems for economic growth. 🚀
