‘If America Wants To Protect The Dollar, It Needs Indian Data’: Rahul Gandhi In Lok Sabha

In the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi argued that in the strategic contest between the United States and China, Indian data is the most valuable asset. He said China’s strength lies in its massive data pool of 1.4 billion people, and that even combined Western data cannot match it. According to him, India’s population – once considered a burden – is now its greatest strength in the 21st century because of the value of data. He claimed that if India were negotiating with the US, it should put “Indian data” on the table as leverage, especially in discussions involving protection of the US dollar and global economic power.
