A group called "Indian-Americans for Trump 2016" registered with the Federal Election Commission as a political action committee on Jan. 21. The group hopes to garner the support of Indian Americans to elect Donald Trump as the next president of the United States.
The group's president, A.D. Amar, a business professor at Seton Hall University, told NBC News that discussions about the PAC first started in December. "I was surprised at the strength Trump had among the Indian professionals and Indian community," he said. "I have never seen Indians so united behind a candidate."

Amar cited Trump's stances on illegal immigration and the economy as key factors for the group's support of him. He also said that the group's members were drawn to the fact that Trump has said he will not be taking money from PACs or special-interest groups.
"Trump is going to keep the lobbies out, and he is going to focus on the general population," Amar said.

Populism is about to run amok, the ride will be fun but also very, very dangerous.
