Over 5 lakh Indians currently work in the US under H1B visas. They are the backbone of India’s IT remittance economy and a major source of middle-class dreams. But with Donald trump tightening his immigration screws, at least 2 lakh indians could be forced to return jobless. Back home, the reality is even harsher—IT companies are cutting jobs, AI is replacing roles, and freshers are being ghosted after campus offers. Meanwhile, Modi—who once boasted of his “friendship” with Trump—has no policy, no plan, no roadmap. Just birthday wishes and photo-ops.

If even a fraction of this crisis unfolds, it will devastate families, choke India’s IT sector further, and trigger a massive middle-class unemployment wave. And yet, delhi is silent.

1. 2 Lakh Jobs at Risk—And No indian Company Waiting Back Home

Trump’s protectionist policies could push 2 lakh indians back to India. But with Infosys, TCS, Wipro, and HCL already on a hiring freeze, the returnees will walk into a job market in ICU.

2. AI Is Eating Jobs Before H1B Returns, Even Land

Chatbots, automation, and generative AI have already killed thousands of coding and testing roles. The jobs these returnees once did abroad no longer exist at scale in India.

3. Freshers Are Already Sitting Idle With Offer letters in Hand

Campus recruits from 2022 and 2023 are still waiting for their joining dates. If returnees flood the market, freshers will have no chance.

4. Dollar Remittances Will Collapse

India receives over $100 billion annually in remittances, a chunk from H1B families. That flow keeps many middle-class households afloat. A sharp decline will hit consumption, housing, and even bank loan repayments.

5. The IT Sector Is Already Bleeding

Attrition is falling not because people are happy, but because there’s nowhere else to go. Layoffs have become routine, and new US/EU projects are shrinking due to weak global demand.

6. Trump Sneezes, Modi Catches Cold

Trump’s America-First moves directly cripple India’s IT exports. Yet Modi—who flaunts his “chemistry” with Trump—is reduced to smiling for cameras while India’s economy trembles.

7. Middle-Class Meltdown Incoming

Every H1B job supports an indian middle-class family—EMIs, education fees, dependent parents. If 2 lakh jobs vanish, 2 lakh families sink into chaos overnight.

8. Modi’s Response? Selfies, Slogans, and Silence

From “Digital India” to “Startup India,” Modi’s government promised tech-led growth. But when the tech sector is collapsing, there’s no bailout, no reskilling policy, no safety net. Only PR.

👉 Bottom Line:
This isn’t just about H1Bs. It’s about India’s complete lack of preparation for a global tech reset. While trump is bulldozing indian jobs, Modi is still busy collecting birthday wishes. The question is simple: Who will rescue 2 lakh families when their dreams crash-land back in India?
