An online debate erupted in the US after a social media post revealed that an Indian doctor’s medical education in India had cost $800. Some users questioned the legitimacy of such qualifications, with a few making unfounded claims about fraud and inadequate training. The discussion shifted to racial remarks targeting Indian doctors in the US. Indians hit back at the criticism and highlighted that medical education in India is heavily subsidised, highly competitive, and globally recognised. Reports show around 59,000 Indian doctors work in the US, comprising about 22% of immigrant physicians (as of 2024). The controversy comes amid ongoing debates over immigration and work visas in the US under President Trump. Watch this video for details.
