India calls Vance’s ‘indentured servants’ remark deeply offensive

India’s foreign ministry has called US Vice President JD Vance’s description of foreign workers hired by Microsoft as “indentured servants” deeply offensive. Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal read out the ministry’s statement at its briefing in New Delhi on Friday. “Resorting to terminology that carries painful historical and colonial legacy connotations is deeply offensive,” Jaiswal said.
