Indian Investment In U.S. Creates 1,00,000 Jobs: Study
During a Congressional hearing last month, several U.S. lawmakers and business and trade representatives had urged the Obama administration to impress upon India against what they alleged are protectionist measures that are discriminatory to the U.S. businesses.
