AI Summary:
The Indian Tech-Bro has long leveraged economic mobility while navigating – if not entirely circumventing – the racial hierarchies embedded within the structures of a vast, interconnected global market. Yet the rise of ethnonationalist right-wing populism – fuelling and feeding on the discontent of furious majorities who feel left behind amid a widening abyss of race, class, and education – has thrust this uneasy alliance into sharp focus. Indian Tech-Bro, heralded as the “model minority,” became a symbol of the neoliberal dream. Here was a diaspora that had aligned itself with the system. The liberalisation of India’s economy in the 1990s and the rise of the dot-com era coincided to create an extraordinary moment of opportunity. These individuals set their sights on Silicon Valley, seduced by the promise of a modern-day “Gold Rush” and the boundless potential The “model minority” myth granted Indian professionals visibility and privilege. Yet figures like Sundar Pichai and Satya Nadella mask the systemic inequities of the H-1B system. For Indian professionals, success in the US also came with a hidden cost. Trumpism melded grievances of white nationalists with broader coalition of disaffected men. Figures like Vivek Ramaswamy and Kash Patel became symbols of the Indian diaspora’s entanglement in the MAGA movement. At the same time, Trump’s admiration for leaders like Narendra Modi underscored the growing synergy among right-wing figures globally. The limits of this coalition were always apparent, and the tenuous alignment between Indian professionals hedge their futures on programmes like H-1B, lured by the promise of the American dream. This dream often comes with a pantheon of gods: Steve Jobs, the visionary, and Elon Musk, the maverick figures revered as much for their myth-making as for their achievements. But this same dream is inaccessible to much of Trump’s electoral base – disaffected white Americans who see themselves as casualties of liberal America’s misadventures. Indian tech workers, many groomed as the managerial elite through US universities, leveraged their positions to accumulate wealth and influence. However, as these contradictions sharpen, this alignment of privilege and silence may no longer hold.

Even that imbecile Vivek Ramaswamy realized he was no longer needed as the token brown magat.
