The attacks have prompted some in India seeking to visit, study or work in the United States to cancel or change their plans. About 1 million people from India visit the United States annually, a number forecast to grow, according to the U.S. Travel Association. On social media on Sunday, some Indians urged External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj to issue a travel warning against the United States. Madasani's father also implored parents not to send their children to the United States. Several countries — including France, Germany and the United Arab Emirates — have issued advisories in recent months urging caution for travelers to the United States over gun violence, police shootings and anti-Muslim attitudes.
