US-born Indians embracing Indian roots more strongly: Carnegie report
India Today ^ | July 15, 2025 | Staff

Posted on 07/16/2025 3:03:40 AM PDT by C19fan

Indian Americans born in the US are displaying a marked increase in cultural and identity-based affinity with their Indian heritage, with 86% taking pride in calling themselves "Indian-American", according to a new report by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

This is a significant increase from the 2020 report, when 70% of US-born Indian American respondents said that being Indian was "very" or "somewhat" important to them. At the same time, the percentage of those who considered their Indian identity unimportant was halved – from 30% to just 15%, according to the report.

About 79 per cent of Indians are college graduates

Not only "college graduates" but doctors: My PCP, cardiologist, dermatologist, kidney specialist, and vascular specialist are all Indian. Only my eye doctor and podiatrist are non-Indian.

That's why Indians have high incomes here.

The median family earnings of Indians in the US is USD 123,700, nearly double the nationwide average of USD 63,922.

I don't doubt that's true. But I look at the single-parent factor possibly diluting the American household average, especially with the high single-mom household numbers among blacks vs the almost always married Indian households. If you compare Indian household incomes only to married American households, it's $123,700 for Indian household (according to FReeper Liz) compared to $146,000 for married American households.

Why is it a surprise that 80% Indian Americans vote Democrat after reading posts such as yours on Republican sites such as this? Democrat sites have very few hateful posts. You reap what you sow still works.

The undermining of healthy assimilation in favor of balkanization and grievance group politics is just another of the fine gifts the left has given this country.

‘Odd’, as I’ve seen NOTHING from the (R)N(C) bucking that system (Pres. Trump only partially dealing w/ illegals...Not even proposing CLOSING the borders for decades ala < 1960)

“Speck of sawdust...” & all, eh??

Good question. Headline and article spelled our native born Indians to me. Finally figured this has nothing to do with them.

You’re either out of your mind, drunk, high, or a DU plant who should go back there.

***a marked increase in cultural and identity-based affinity***

I remember reading about this over 60 years ago.
The immigrants who come to America try to integrate in by learning English and forgetting old customs.
Their children are raised as Americans.
Their grand children are raised also as Americans.
The Great- grand children try to return to the old ways of the original Great-Grand parent immigrants.

This is all the invaders have done since the 1965 Caucasian Suicide Pact was signed. From assimilation to division. Every ethnicity for themselves. And in the tech world, Indian managers routinely follow this, hiring only other Indians until the place is filled with them.

Compared to the Irish or Italians, the Indians in America are trivial.

Subject is Indian American hate. Can you link one such post from a Democrat site? Of course democrats hate lots of stuff. That is why I have voted republican in every election since Nixon in 1970.
