Does embracing your Indian roots include shitting on the street and eating with your hand?
Indians born in the US have a marked increase in cultural and identity-based Indian heritage, with 86% taking pride in being “Indian-American”, according to the Carnegie Endowment for Intl Peace report.
A significant increase from 2020, when 70% of US-born Indian Americans said that being Indian was “very” or “somewhat” important to them; the percentage of those who considered their Indian identity unimportant halved – from 30% to just 15%.
FR posted——about 4 million Indians currently reside in the US, including 1.6 million visa holders, 1.4 million naturalized residents, and a million US-born residents.
The median family earnings of Indians in the US is USD 123,700, nearly double the nationwide average of USD 63,922. About 79 per cent of Indians are college graduates, compared to the nationwide average of 34 per cent, according to the report.
Indians are ahead of all the other ethnic groups in the US in median family earnings ranges. Taiwanese and Filipinos, with USD 97,129 and USD 95,000 of median family incomes, respectively, are in second and third place.
