On the same day Srinivas Kuchibhotla was shot and killed in a racial crime in Kansas, a woman of Indian origin, Ekta Desai, was verbally abused on a New York train and was asked to “Go back to your country.” Ekta Desai jotted down the following on her Facebook account along with a video of the man who verbally abused her:
P.S: not sure the cops found him or even took any action, though they showed up 15 mins after all this drama and he walked away with his friends! And people need to grow some balls

As it happens, Ekta Desai is also a fan of PM Modi based on this public post on her Facebook account on May 16, 2014.
While it is extremely sad that Indians in the US are facing racial attacks ever since Donald Trump won his Presidential election based on a campaign filled with hate and bigotry, it is also time for many NRIs who extended their support to PM Modi to reflect upon their choice as to how they endorsed a man who won the elections in India the same way that Mr Donald Trump did – from riots in Muzzafarnagar to campaigns of ‘Love Jihad’ and ‘Ghar Wapsi’. In UP elections, BJP continues to pursue a communal agenda even today.
