Former diplomat and Indian politician Shashi Tharoor has stated that Donald Trump's victory in the US presidential election will benefit India, as the two leaders share a close rapport. Speaking at a session titled 'Shifting Perspectives: The State of the World in 2024' organised by the Australia India Institute on 13 November, Tharoor told SBS Hindi that India's primary concern lies in Trump's immigration policies, which could impose restrictions on legal immigrants.
