India's Ministry of External Affairs formally criticized remarks by U.S. Vice President JD Vance, who described H-1B visa holders as 'indentured servants' during a press conference about program abuses. Vance announced an investigation into Microsoft and other IT firms, alleging they were replacing American workers with foreign labor. India responded by calling the terminology 'unwarranted' and 'offensive' due to its colonial and historical connotations, emphasizing the contributions of skilled Indian professionals to the U.S. economy.
