Also, the US is floundering about a war that is disrupting the world, not India. Bringing a fwe thousand pundits here to create coherence would have more effect on the world than keeping them in India since they already have plans for 20-40,000 pundits in India and are building the facilities for them. Not to mention that they've been trying to bring PUndits here for 2 years...
