Anil K Monga, CEO, Victory International; trustee, American Indian Foundation; and chairman of Board Dream and Beauty Trust (Ludhiana) in Edison, New Jersey, posted his pic with the message saying, "We are blessed to have a leader like Trump as our president, who will work unconditionally with India as a true friend in White House. Congratulations to all!"

Amita Singh

, a college teacher from

South Carolina

, said they were happy with Trump becoming the president. "He has already praised the Indian Prime Minister. Indians had worked for his election campaign and they all have great expectations from him."

Tejinder Singh Sekhon, a businessman from Gerrard Cross in the UK, also termed Trump's victory as a good thing for India and Indian diaspora. "He is a straight forward person who does not mince words and calls spade a spade. He has spoken only against those who are running drugs cartel and are in anti-social activities. I think that the Indian diaspora is happy and it would be a beginning of a new era in the Indo-American relations."

Srinivas Rao, an IT professional from Dallas City, said the Indian community hopes for positive outcome.
