At some point during the 1990s the size of the Asian Indian
population in the United States surpassed the one million mark.
Today's Indians in America are a diverse group. They come from
every state in India as well as from around the globe: England,
Canada, South Africa, Tanzania, Fiji, Guyana, and Trinidad. They
also belong to many religious faiths, including Hinduism, Islam,
Sikhism, Jainism, Christianity, and Zoroastrianism. Many have high
professional skills and are fluent in English and familiar with
Western culture. They have settled throughout the United States,
largely in metropolitan areas. Namaste America tells this story of
Indian immigrants in America, focusing on one of the largest
communities, Chicago.Padma Rangaswamy is Project Coordinator for
the Neighborhood History Project at the Chicago Historical Society.
She is also a Visiting Assistant Professor of History at Loyola
University and the University of Illinois at Chicago.
