Re: First Hindu poised for election to United States Congress
My humble opinion on the topic of this thread:
The White clan has been, in history, subjugators of other civilizations. There was a Civil War needed for abolishing slavery. The modern day inhabitants of the continent of America are descendants of the same White clan. But in USA today, we find a large mix of all nationals who are vastly settled peacefully. From where it has evolved, to where it is now, it has been a great change to USA, and the election of a lady even remotely connected to India, shows that population of USA has a rather welcoming attitude. This may not show that everything is 100% alright and that Indians are respected to hold high positions if they cling to their Indian ancestry, but this can be stated as a beginning step towards that direction. In prestigious institutions such as Harvard, Indians are held as Deans. This shows a very promising future for Indians in the USA.
To quote from my own personal experience, my White American boss of 13 yrs ago in the IT field one day asked me upon giving the paycheck, "If my family and relatives thought of me as a 'rich American' thus by my American employment!". He all through my employment with the company, though approving of any good work done, nevertheless had different scales for Indians and Whites. It is a pity this still happens, however, my husband is in the same IT field and never had to face any such intimidation from his superiors!
I thus believe that if it is one's prarabhdha/destiny to get something of merit, even if he/she be of a different origin, can still make it, and USA seems to be a positive atmosphere for Indians to achieve great things here.
