In a recent exchange, Iran's Consulate General in Mumbai took aim at US President Donald Trump after he shared a video where conservative commentator Michael Savage labeled India and China as 'hell holes.' The consulate responded by posting a video that highlights Maharashtra's rich cultural and geographical heritage, suggesting that a visit to India could serve as a 'cultural detox' for Trump. The consulate's tweet included the phrase, 'Kabhi India aa ke dekho,' encouraging Trump to experience the country firsthand. This response underscores Iran's defense of India and China, which it referred to as 'the cradles of civilization.' The controversy began when Trump reposted Savage's comments, which criticized US birthright citizenship laws and suggested a national referendum on the issue. Following the backlash, India's Ministry of External Affairs condemned Trump's remarks as inappropriate and not reflective of the strong India-US relationship based on mutual respect.
