Emotions are running high understandably.
I will wait sometime, maybe a month or so to see how things settle w.r.t relations with US.
I will say this, Trump said the quiet part out aloud. It wasn't what he was saying, it was the fact he said out aloud that upset "the establishment"....because he wasn't from "the establishment" (or rather the defined process the establishment sets out for its internal structure).
They (and the Biden admin is just a subset of it) prefer to do the "not say" and let the deep state worms do the cold calculations (economic and political) for what ought to and ought not to be done w.r.t allies, intermediaries and adversaries alike in whatever situation of note.
Then it boils down to the coin flip of hit/miss on what kind of messaging you get put out (if you know how these spoiled harvard/yale types work in the end, which many do not)...and when it misses, it generally misses by a wide mark.
This is a long feature seen in US, I suppose it comes with the territory of being a superpower and also feeling enshrined in it. This plays out in the toxified, liberal-bubble media and the rest of the state's organs (both elites and elitists that grow a certain way while the church and earlier cultural grounding recedes, leaving fissures in the wake that they think the "plebs" can merely step over)
There will be some payback (from Biden admin) for the earlier relationship made with the Trump administration too (given the utter polarisation it wrought and brought so clearly to the forefront)...though I feel if that is the case, they have overreached here and misjudged what Indians feel w.r.t US versus their internal politics and leaders when it comes to pressure scenarios.
Essentially, many foreigners (and maybe especially Indians given our particular cultural norms/heritage/thought patterns) do not understand how big and broad the US is (esp its political factions within its main parties and how they intersect with the "establishment"), and its impact when it chooses an extreme autarky on certain things (against its narrative it puts out mostly from inertia by roughly a century soft cultural influence. emboldened and exacerbated by WW2 victory and cold war victory).
Now there is enough long term memory in India too w.r.t USS enterprise and such things of that nature (really the cold war was quite an experience we saw enough of "other side" of US behind the usual nominal platitudes)....again fairly particular to the Indian experience.
So frankly I find it quite stupid if people have invested some extra bonhomie or extra "globalism" (if you will) than is due when it comes to such matters as this one, where countries will always put themselves first at an extreme level if need be.
On certain things India must shelve the emotionalism all together, pull its socks up, and have those things as robustly organised in the interior workings as possible, should the need arise. The worst kind of health crisis is one such thing, it should be put in same warfooting that was done for our nuclear weapons capability.....we cannot rely on anyone else for it.....no one owes us basic living and security.
For the rest of (non-autarkic) dealings with the west, that generally means where possible focus with the best of their lot (w.r.t what we need) that are more suitably population-sized and organised appropriately if you ask me (France, UK, Germany come to mind).
They are more easily understandable and more concrete for the 95% of people in any typical country. US needs protracted study (and they will still find a way to upset it) that is not easily available (time and interest wise) for most to get into the inner workings for quick results etc. It is best to just treat certain things as worst case scenarios if they are of paramount importance to your own lives. It is only reasonable, we have to be cold there....not warm and hot headed.
