This comes after several Democrat lawmakers criticised New Delhi’s decision to dilute Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir

At a time when its legislative changes to Jammu and Kashmir’s status have been criticised by U.S. lawmakers, especially Democrats, the Government of India has hired lobbying firm Cornerstone Government Affairs, which has strong ties to the Democrat side, to represent its interests in Washington.

Cornerstone will provide “strategic counsel, tactical planning and government relations assistance on policy matters before the U.S. Government, the U.S. Congress, and select State governments, as well as academic institutions and think-tanks,” the letter of engagement attached to the FARA (Foreign Agent Registration Act) form said.

That's how access is bought in America. There are two facets to lobbying: (a) access; (b) process. Access-type lobbyists know politicians in person, since they were ex-congressmen, senators. Process-type lobbyists come from the legislative staff of senior leaders of both parties, committees.
