Thanks for sharing this information with us. It is a proud time for Asian Indians as we are making strides in many areas within the US.
From Bobby Jindal (who doesn't really want to admit his Asian Indian heritage), the 1st Asian Indian to be Governor, to Amul Thapar, the 1st Indian American Federal Judge, and many, many others who I'm not naming here, we Indian Americans are finally becoming "mainstream" in the USA.
Thanks to Amul and other individuals who by creating history as the 1st Asian Indian in their field, will open doors to many future leaders who will (we hope) be proud to claim their Asian Indian heritage.
Thanks Nipa,
I done know if it is feasible, but you should try to interview Mr. Amul Thapar for your round table India podcast
