Tax liability in the US for capital gains from property sale in India?

property sale

Hi,

I have been in the US for the last 2 yrs, first on a F-1 and now on an H-1B visa.

I recently sold a property in India and had some capital gains which I plan to invest in another residential property there. As a result I am claiming a capital gains exemption in India.

Is there any tax liability on these capital gains in the USA? I would appreciate if you could also send me the sources for your response.
