After passing the bill, the Hindu American Foundation congratulated Senator Kornin and Warner. Sameer Kalra, MD of the Hindu American Foundation said, “It is very important to bring India above the status of non-NATO status.
This is the beginning of unprecedented relations between India and America. In a program organized by the Hindu America Foundation, Sherman said that it is extremely important that we have understood the importance of relations between America and India.
America had treated India as a major defense partner in 2016. This status means that India can purchase more important technology weapons. Just like the countries of America, India can purchase weapons and technology. It is expected that this bill will be introduced to pass in the House of Representatives before the commencement of one month starting July 29.
