Yes, you could file suit in that state against them and perhaps their employer if they work for one employer, but you would have to hire an attorney admitted to practice in that state and be able to prove what damages you suffer, which would be hard to do because at least some of the damage occurs in India so how are you going to get Indian witnesses to travel to America for any trial [even though most cases settle without a trial, the other side takes into account what you can prove at trial, so if they assume you can not produce any witnesses they would offer much less]. You need to speak to some attorneys in that state to see what they think about filing a suit or what you can do to prevent the defamation.
