How many are US citizens ?
I think majority of them are on H1B visa.
I thought observant Jews abstained from idolatry.
Happy Diwali, my conservative, Indian-American friends, neighbors, co-workers -- welcome to the Republican party and let's work together to make America great again! At the 10th district convention last spring, we elected an Indian-American delegate -- the first one ever. At the RNC Convention, he spoke and give the Virginia tally. These people are family people, hard workers, and are natural allies of ours. They are welcome in my world of the dot.com Virginia that is the Dulles corridor.
A lot of them have been there from around the Y2K period, so they will be citizens. There are several thousand on temporary visas also as the major Indian outsourcing companies use loopholes to bring in people to work on various visas.

Diwali celebrates the coming of the Light of God into our lives, and the dispelling of spiritual darkness. Like ALL Hindu celebrations it is an external representation of an aspect or activity of the ONE God.
I wish that there was consistent Republican outreach to the large and growing Ethiopian community in Northern Virginia - mostly hard-working, family-oriented, church-going Christians.
Like Cubans, many experienced real communism back in the old country. Cubans have been about the most solidly Republican demographic.
Why do we need to participate in their religious ceremonies in order to get their vote? Will Don have to have sex with a man to get the gay vote?
I’d go, if not just for the food.
These @$$holes are taking our jobs. I’ve been in the software industry for 32 years now and it’s awful. My last contract position it was 90% Indian. Thankfully I’ve found non-Bangalore pastures since then. It’s not easy.
There is probably no other region that has suffered as much from invading Islamic extremists than India.
India has many religions and sects - from “Hinduism” which is really a term that was used by others from other areas of the world to describe a region (and a mispronunciation of Indus as in the river in India’s Indus Valley which had a great civilization) and not a religion, to Buddhists, and some are not aware there is a notable Jewish population, Jains (followers of a religious renunciate Mahavira or the “Great Hero” who was actually a contemporary of Siddhartha (the Buddha or “intellectual” as in Buddhi or intellect, Siddhartha was a Hindu Prince who later went into religiots life and teaching and was a reformer of Hinduism and his teachings were a mix of Hindu and Jain, later called Buddhism), and Sikhs (a mix of many religions including Christianity), Zoroastrians and Sindhis, various old localized religions, Christians who arrived very early after the foyndatiin of organized Christianity, all had their temples and churches torn down and a mosque built on top, mass murders, taxes on non-Muslims, it was very, very hordific actually.
Hindus like Trump. Also, understand - “Hinduism” is not a single “religion”. It is many, many, many sects and brliefs that range from atheism, to many Gods, to regional Mother Goddesses, to One God, to a single Primary God and all others like “Angels” or demiguds, to a totally impersonal “force” or where “everything is the manifestation” of Supreme, or where God is a Light or Jyoti, or where the Name of God is All, or on and on and on, each small area of India has it’s God or no God or force, or philosophy, thus you see thousands of Mothers (Goddess) and one area know the name but doesn’t know the name of the Goddess or Father or God I another area - some in the West put it all into one buvket and say Hindu.
But it isn’t.
But one thing for sure, it had many things like this long, long before there came Islsm invading.
Then much destruction came. They have never furgotten that. In the “many points of light” all over India.
I hope the same destruction does not come to America. If there is one thing for sure, if you want to know about the story of Islamic extremism and terror, ask a “Hindu”.
If you assimilate respect and get along you are welcome legally

70 Percent of the World’s Web Traffic Flows Through Loudoun County
Over the past two decades, server farms have devoured the farmland of Loudoun County—so much that vast portions of our online lives are now transacted via their fiber and cables.
