Why would you assume that Indians who emigrated are nationalists at all?
And "hating Muslims" is surely something Hindu nationalists and Christian nationalists agree on.
Finally "American Nationalists" doesn't even make sense, it's a tautology since 1789 or the War of 1812. The US right wing is (partly) Christian Nationalisy. Nationalism means excluding someone from a nation based on religious, ethnic, or other basis. It's trying to make the nation for Hindus or Christians or the local population or whatever. "Indian nationalism" mean separating from the British. Muslims and Hindus are both Indians.

I know that many of them are, because that's what opinion polling reveals. American nationalists and Indian nationalists may have some commonalities, like hating Muslims, but American nationalists have no love for Hindus either so it would be weird for Indian nationalists living in America to cozy up with American nationalists.
