Deductions & credits

@punjun2019  the "double taxation " clause  and indeed the tax treaties are between US federal tax authority and the  "other contracting " country.  US States do not recognize  these  treaties -- some have specific agreements   with foreign countries  ( e.g.  NYS and MI having tax agreements with Canada ).  Thus California will indeed  give you no credit for taxes paid to India  and will tax you on world income ( as a resident of CA ).
