Crossette has written extensively on
India, and has been accused of prejudice against the country.
Vamsee Juluri, author and Professor of
Media Studies at the
University of San Francisco, identified
Indophobic bias and prejudice in Crossette's writings. Specifically, he accuses Crossette of
libelling a secularist, pluralistic,
liberal democracy and an ally of the United States as a "
rogue nation" and describing India as "
pious," "craving," "
petulant," "
intransigent," and "believes that the world's rules don't apply to it". Juluri identifies these attacks as part of a
racist postcolonial/
neocolonial discourse used by Crosette to attack and defame India and encourage racial prejudice against
Indian Americans. A 2010 article by Crossette in
Foreign Policy magazine described India as a country "that often gives global governance the biggest headache." An Indian journalist Nitin Pai, in his rebuttal, described the piece as a newsroom-cliche, utterly biased and factually incorrect. Crossette's opposition to India's support of
Bangladeshi independence has been especially widely discredited for its lack of understanding of the history and international politics of the subcontinent. ==Bibliography==
