Below are Manjeet’s comments:

Manjeet Kripalani, executive director of the Mumbai-based foreign policy think tank Gateway House, said there were “no surprises.”

“Both candidates were authentically who they are. She, the sophisticated, career politician. Donald Trump, the brash entrepreneur who people relate to,” she said.

Kripalani views Trump as a greater potential force for change in Washington’s relationship with India and its rival Pakistan.

“Hillary Clinton is a status quoist. Where America’s relationship with Pakistan is concerned or in other ways she won’t change the status quo,” she said. “Donald Trump may have some surprises in terms of how America views Pakistan.

“He’s created an opening for countries like India to step in and negotiate a new world order.”
