Excerpt:

As soon as the media confirmed Trump's victory over his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, scores of Hindu Sena supporters took to the streets, dancing and distributing sweets. "He (Trump) is the savior. He will save the world from Islamic terror," Vishnu Gupta, president of the Hindu Sena, told DW. "Now that he will be the president of the United States, we hope he will act against Islamists. India has long suffered the Islamic terror. We have organized celebratory rallies in Mumbai and the capital New Delhi to honor the president-elect," Gupta added.
...
(Trump) has repeatedly said he would boost his country's economic and defense relations with India. He also has personal business ties with the South Asian nation. His Trump Organization is involved in two major luxury real estate projects in the cities of Mumbai and Pune, both in the western state of Mahrashtra. In 2013, the Trump Organization tied up with the Lodha Group, real-estate developers in Mumbai, and in 2014 with the Panchshil Group in Pune for the residential projects that are being marketed as "Trump Towers."
