Jaipur: A business leader of the Indo-American Chamber of Commerce (IACC) said on Tuesday that India is "not a hole" but a "whole" in all respects, including upholding the rule of law and advancing economic prosperity, in response to a social media post shared by US President Donald Trump that made disparaging remarks about the country.
"We've improved significantly. Lalit Bhasin, the previous national president of IACC, stated, "We are not a hole, but whole in all respects, adhering to democratic principles, upholding the rule of law, and moving towards economic prosperity."

The comments were made in reaction to a social media post made by American radio presenter Michael Savage, which Trump shared last week, calling India and a few other nations "hellholes" in relation to immigration.
"India is a great country with a very good friend of mine at the top" was the statement released by a US embassy official in New Delhi hours after the post in an attempt to contain the fallout. The post was described as "uninformed" and "inappropriate" by the Indian government on April 23.Speaking at the opening of the IACC's Rajasthan chapter in front of Jonathan Heimer, the US Embassy's Minister Counsellor for Commercial Affairs, Bhasin went on to say that Heimer should convey to the US government that India and China are not comparable.
"I want Jonathan Heimer to understand that India is not a "hell hole," and this should be communicated to the US administration. Don't compare it to China, please," Bhasin added.
Bhasin added that Rajasthan is an obvious candidate for increasing India-US cooperation due to its industrial growth and investor-friendly laws.Heimer also discussed the US-India alliance, stating that it would be crucial in determining the future."Your friendship, warmth, and shared commitment to strengthening US-India business ties have been extraordinary over the four years I have spent in India," he said. "The future of the world will depend significantly on this partnership," he added, adding that connections and investments made now would benefit future generations in the long run.

Diya Kumari, the deputy chief minister of Rajasthan, was also present at the event.
According to Kumari, the program will boost trade, investment, and strategic alliances at the state level while also strengthening economic ties between Rajasthan and the US.Rajasthan is in a good position to grow quickly and form international alliances. According to her, the project would promote sustainable development, innovation, and the creation of jobs.
