WASHINGTON (The Thursday Times) — Mangal ko governor, attorney general aur Congress ke liye paanch Bharti nazhad Republican umeedwar maidan mein thay. Paanchon haar gaye. Vivek Ramaswamy Ohio ke governor ka intikhab haar gaye, woh riyasat jise Donald Trump ne do saal pehle 11 points se jeeta tha. Saritha Komatireddy New York ki attorney general ki daud haar gayin. Ritesh Tandon, Nirav Sheth aur Mahesh Ganorkar California, Washington aur North Carolina mein Aiwan-e-Numainda ki nashistein haar gaye.
Usi raat Bharti nazhad Democrats taqreeban har us jagah jeete jahan woh maidan mein thay, Florida ki nayi banayi gayi nashist se le kar Arizona mein Republicans ki nashist tak. Voteron ne Bharti nazhad umeedwaron ko mustarad nahin kiya. Unhon ne in makhsoos umeedwaron ko mustarad kiya, aur us jamaat ko bhi jis ki taraf se woh lar rahe thay: aik aisi jamaat jis ke hami saara saal Bharti nazhad Amreekiyon ko yeh ehsas dilate rahe ke woh yahan ke nahin, aur jis ke sab se maroof Bharti nazhad umeedwar ne is intikhabi daur ki sab se ghatiya muhimmat mein se aik chalayi.
Raat chaar adad mein
Ohio: woh daud jis ne lehja tay kiya
41 saala biotech arab pati Ramaswamy, jinhein Trump ki himayat hasil thi, ki jeet yaqeeni samjhi ja rahi thi. Ohio ne 2006 ke baad koi Democrat governor muntakhib nahin kiya tha. Unhon ne is daud mein apni jeb se 3 crore 60 lakh dollar se zyada lagaye aur unhein Trump aur Elon Musk ki himayat hasil thi. Woh riyasat mein Covid ke dauran sehat ke radd-e-amal ki qayadat karne wali moalij Amy Acton se taqreeban 51 ke muqable 46 feesad se haar gaye, aur Acton Ohio ki pehli khatoon governor ban gayi hain.
Faisla kun mor aik ishtihar tha. October ke aakhir mein un ki muhim ne aik ishtihar chalaya jis mein Acton ki barson se alag rehne wali walida ne apni beti par bachpan ke baare mein jhoot bolne ka ilzam lagaya. Yeh wohi walida thin jo Acton ki sarparasti se us waqt mehroom ho gayi thin jab bachchi ke sautele walid par us ke jinsi istehsal ka muqadma bana tha. Ohio ke Republican governor Mike DeWine ne ishtihar ko “intehai pareshan kun” qarar diya aur use hatane ka mutalba kiya. Trump ne use “taqatwar” kaha. Muhim ne aakhirkar ishtihar chalana band kar diya, lekin tab tak yeh aitedal pasand aur azad voteron mein nuqsan kar chuka tha.
Shikast tasleem karte hue Ramaswamy ne kaha: “Yeh mulk bhar mein Republicans ke liye aik mushkil aur kathin raat hai, aur yahan Ohio mein hamare liye bhi mushkil raat hai.” Unhon ne yeh nahin bataya ke ghalati kahan hui. Riyasat ke mubassireen ne is ishtihar ki taraf, aik aisi muhim ki taraf jo tajaweez se kahin zyada hamlon par mabni thi, aur aik aise sadr se un ki qurbat ki taraf ishara kiya jo Iran ke saath aik ghair maqbool jang aur barhti qeematon ke saath apni jamaat ko neeche ghaseet raha hai. Ramaswamy ne apna siyasi mustaqbil Trump par daao par lagaya tha. Mangal ko us ki qeemat chukani pari.
Mazeed chaar shikastein
New York mein sabiq wafaqi prosecutor Komatireddy, jo kabhi Brett Kavanaugh ki law clerk reh chuki hain, Trump ki himayat ke saath attorney general Letitia James ke muqable mein utrin, jo barson se Trump intezamiya ko adalaton mein ghaseetti aa rahi hain. James ne taqreeban 60 ke muqable 40 feesad se teesri muddat jeet li. Shikast tasleem karte hue Komatireddy ne kaha ke unhein apni is muhim par fakhr hai jis ne dikhaya ke siyasat ko “taqseem aur nafrat” se mutayyan hona zaroori nahin.
Aiwan-e-Numainda ki teenon dauron mein muqabla kabhi sakht nahin raha. Silicon Valley mein do Bharti nazhad Amreekiyon ke muqable mein Tandon Ro Khanna se 42 hazar se zyada voton se haar gaye. Seattle mein sabiq Marine Sheth ne Pramila Jayapal ke 87.5 feesad ke muqable mein 12.1 feesad vote liye. North Carolina ke chauthe zila mein Ganorkar Democrat rukn Valerie Foushee se haar gaye.
Woh kitne peechhe rahe
Voton ka tanasub, feesad mein. Ohio nateeje ke elan ke waqt; New York aur Washington mein zyada tar voton ki ginti ke baad. Ro Khanna ne Ritesh Tandon ko 42 hazar se zyada voton se haraya, aur Valerie Foushee ne Mahesh Ganorkar ko shikast di.
Wohi voter, doosri jamaat
Agar yeh Bharti nazhad umeedwaron ke khilaf faisla hota to Democrats bhi haar jate. Hua is ke bar-aks. Sabiq school principal Pia Dandiya ne Florida ka naya banaya gaya 22wan zila taqreeban 52 feesad voton se jeeta. Moalij Amish Shah ne Arizona mein Republicans ki aik nashist 52.5 feesad voton se chheen li. Suhas Subramanyam ne Virginia mein apni nashist barqarar rakhi, Ami Bera ne California mein aathwein muddat jeeti, aur Khanna aur Jayapal dobara muntakhib hue. Maryland mein Aruna Miller 62.6 feesad voton ke saath dobara lieutenant governor muntakhib huin. Los Angeles mein Nithya Raman ne Karen Bass ko hara kar shehar ki pehli Bharti nazhad Amreeki mayor banne ka aizaz hasil kiya.
Bharti nazhad Amreeki qanoon sazon ka ghair rasmi group, jise Samosa CaucusAmreeki Aiwan-e-Numainda ke Bharti nazhad arkaan ka ghair rasmi naam, jo Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi ne diya tha. Is ke tamam arkaan Democrat hain. kaha jata hai, primary mein Shri Thanedar ki shikast ke bawajood is intikhab se do naye arkaan, Dandiya aur Shah, ke saath nikla hai. In mein se har aik Democrat hai.
“Is aham voter tabqe mein Republicans ko 2024 mein jo kamyabiyan mili thin, woh barqarar nahin rahin.”
Carnegie Endowment for International Peace ke October mein kiye gaye Bharti nazhad Amreekiyon ke survey ne yeh pehle hi bhanp liya tha. Is ke mutabiq 62 feesad Bharti nazhad Amreeki shehri Aiwan-e-Numainda ki daud mein Democrat aur 19 feesad Republican ki himayat ka irada rakhte thay, yani 43 points ka farq, jo 2024 mein is biradari mein Kamala Harris ki Trump par 32 points ki bartari se zyada hai. Sab se bari tabdeeli un voteron mein aayi jinhein jeetne ke liye Republicans ne sab se zyada mehnat ki thi: 40 saal se zyada umar ke mard, jin mein Republican umeedwar ki himayat January mein Trump ke liye 32 feesad se gir kar 16 feesad reh gayi.
Republican ki himayat karne wale Bharti nazhad Amreeki shehri
Feesad mein. Pichhle surveys mein sadarti vote ke baare mein poochha gaya, October 2026 mein Aiwan-e-Numainda ki daud ke baare mein. Carnegie Endowment for International Peace aur YouGov, Indian American Attitudes Survey; aik hazar baligh afraad, ghalati ki gunjaish ±3.87 points.
Aik jamaat jis ne unhein bataya ke woh yahan ke nahin
In adad-o-shumar ke peechhe aik kahani hai. September mein Texas Railroad CommissionNaam ke bar-aks yeh teen rukni muntakhib idara Texas ki tail aur gas ki sanat ko regulate karta hai, railway ko nahin. ke liye Republican umeedwar Bo French ne University of Texas ki football jeet ka jashn manate Junoobi Asiai talaba ki tasveer post ki aur likha: “Main ne suna tha ke is saal UT ki graduation aisi dikhayi deti thi. Mujhe yaqeen nahin aaya tha.” Aik aur post mein unhon ne kaha ke social media be-naqab kar raha hai ke “kitne Amreekiyon ki jagah ghair mulkiyon ne le li hai.” Riyasat ke Republican senator John Cornyn ne ise “adam bardasht aur nasl parasti” qarar diya. Jamaat ke tajurba kaar hikmat-e-amli saaz Karl Rove ne French ko mutassib kaha. French ne maafi maangne se inkar kar diya. Mangal ko woh Democrat Jon Rosenthal se 52.8 ke muqable 45.5 feesad se haar gaye, jis se commission par Republicans ka teen dahaiyon se zyada ka control khatam ho gaya.
Yeh muamla sab se oopar tak gaya. April mein Trump ne Truth Social par aik tehreer dobara post ki jis mein daawa kiya gaya tha ke tarkeen-e-watan “Cheen ya Bharat ya kura-e-arz ke kisi aur jahannam” se aate hain. Bharti Wazarat-e-Kharja ne ise “laaelmi par mabni, namunasib aur badzauqi” qarar diya, jo kisi Amreeki sadr ke liye ghair mamooli taur par sakht radd-e-amal tha. Hindu American Foundation ne kaha ke woh is par “shadeed pareshan” hai.
Yeh sab aik aisi biradari par hua jo pehle hi be-chain thi. Stop AAPI Hate ki September ki aik report ke mutabiq zer-e-nigrani online platforms par Junoobi Asiai mukhalif toheen aamez alfaz mein January 2023 se December 2025 ke darmiyan 109 feesad izafa hua, aur 48 feesad Junoobi Asiai balighon ne kaha ke 2025 mein unhein nafrat par mabni kisi waqiye ka samna karna para. Is sab ke saath Amreeki dayen bazu mein H-1B visasHunarmand ghair mulki mahireen ke liye Amreeki work visa. In ki bari aksariyat Bhartiyon ko milti hai, jis ki wajah se yeh programme immigration par Republican larai ka nishana ban gaya hai. par larai jari rahi, jis ne Bharti pesha war afraad ko jamaat ke maqamiyat parast dharay ka pasandeeda nishana bana diya hai.
Jamaat ke apne kuch log bhi chhor gaye. University of Houston ke 21 saala talib-e-ilm Vasant Bhatt, jo Ted Cruz samet Republicans ki muhim chala chuke thay, Senate ki daud mein Democrat James Talarico ke hami ban gaye, aur Talarico jeet gaye.
“Main is mulk mein, jise main apna ghar kehta hoon, hamesha ke ghair mulki jaisa sulook bardasht nahin karunga.”
Nayi Dehli ke liye is ka kya matlab hai
Bharat ke liye is raat ka paigham tarkeen-e-watan se aage jata hai. Narendra Modi ne apni Amreeki hikmat-e-amli Trump ke saath zati taluq ke gird banayi thi, 2019 mein Houston ki “Howdy, Modi!” rally se le kar 2020 mein Ahmedabad ki “Namaste Trump” tak, aur Hindus for Trump jaise groups ke gird jinhon ne yeh taluq Bharti nazhad Amreeki voteron ke samne pesh kiya.
Is model ko ab aik saal mein do dhachke lag chuke hain. Trump ki “jahannam” wali post par Nayi Dehli ko ghair mamooli taur par khul kar radd-e-amal dena para, aur woh Bharti nazhad Republican jo is taluq ko Congress tak le ja sakte thay, sab haar chuke hain. Nayi Democrat aksariyat mein shamil Bharti nazhad Amreekiyon mein Jayapal bhi hain, jinhon ne 2019 mein Aiwan-e-Numainda mein aik qarardad pesh ki thi jis mein Bharat se maqbooza Kashmir mein muwasalati bandish aur bare paimane par giraftariyan khatam karne ka mutalba kiya gaya tha.
Is ka matlab yeh nahin ke Washington Bharat ke khilaf ho jayega. Donon hukoomatein is shirakat dari ki jo strategic wujoohat batati hain, Cheen se le kar supply chains tak, woh nahin badlin. Lekin is ke gird ki siyasat badal gayi hai. Bharti nazhad Amreeki biradari ab Republican Party tak pahunchne ka qabil-e-aitmaad zariya nahin rahi, aur yeh jamaat ab is biradari ke liye aaram deh ghar nahin rahi.
Sabiq Amreeki safeer baraye Aqwam-e-Muttahida Nikki Haley ke bete Nalin Haley ne apni jamaat ke liye is raat ka khulasa yun kiya: “Democrats jeete nahin, Republicans haare hain.” Ballot par maujood paanch Bharti nazhad Republicans ke liye yeh baat lafzi maanon mein sach sabit hui.
