US President Donald Trump will be joining PM Narendra Modi at a mega event in Houston named "Howdy, Modi!". The September 22 event will be the first time a US president and Indian Prime Minister will be addressing a joint rally.
Amid speculation if Trump would join PM Modi at the Houston event, White House issued a statement to confirm that he would attend the rally. This is the third successive meeting between Trump and PM Modi within the span of a few weeks after the G20 and G7 summits.
More than 50,000 Indian-Americans from across the US have registered for the September 22 mega "Howdy, Modi! Shared Dreams, Bright Futures" event to be held at the sprawling NRG Stadium in Houston.
"Howdy", short for 'How do you do?', is a friendly greeting commonly used in southwestern United States and the event has been designed as a greeting to PM Modi.

They voted 80% for the Bitch
That’s higher than Jews btw
Machira you are mistaken
Sorry
Look it up from exit polls
Canard and bordering on ad absurdism comparison
There is no inherent virtue in being an immigrant regardless
Every human in the planet is or came from immigrant
On further thought...
You’re canard pimping and borderline virtue signaling
We’ve inundated America with leftist voting minorities and that is precisely why we have almost and likely will lose our culture baring a war
Your love of curry and Bollywood notwithstanding
In lending we have the 5 C’s of credit, Character, Cash, Capital, Conditions, and Collateral.
My experience is that 99.9 percent of Indians from India on a standard distribution lack character when faced with a difficult situation. They run away when faced with a hard business decision. I will never lend to an Indian again based on multiple experiences.
That being said, a dear friend is best friends with an Indian, who has been a friend without condition, and is in the .01 percent. At its most base value, our cultures and honesty, are not the same.
Plus one
Freepers have always been stuck on stupid about immigration
20 years I’ve watched the same platitudes
Oblivious to reality
Four out of five Indian immigrants is a leftist voter and clannish with their own
My son dated a gorgeous part Indian girl ...on my homepage...she was adorable...and I’d welcome her as a daughter in law down the road no question
Be some fine granddaughters...
But her family in India ...Bombay....poisons here with anti white anti west garbage shaming her for having a white boyfriend
Like I said.freepers are stupid on stuff like this
Only thing worse is Sikh fanboys here
“Sikhs are anti terrorism”....Freepers don’t open many books
Sikhs are way better than Muslims but they have engaged in terrorism but posters here are ignorant of that
If I face planted as much as I should I would be able to type
It’s amazing how many “persecuted” groups end up in the U.S. They were criminals engaged in activities contrary to U.S. law in their home counties and they shouldn’t be welcome here.
They come here to make money and then join the very race based organizations trying to destroy us
It makes no sense and shows you what human nature has always been about
WHAT YOU ARE AND WHO YOU IDENTIFY WITH
In the private sector I had customers in the U.S. who were terrorists under my watch when I worked at an ABC agency.
Do you think the government cares?
2012 - 84% of Asian Indian-Americans voted to reelect Obama

2016 - 77% of Asian Indian-Americans voted for Hillary Clinton (Page 15 of link)

So about the same numbers as Hispanics?
Re: So about the same numbers as Hispanics?
Asian Indians are more Left than Hispanics.
Nationally, Hispanics vote 65%-70% Democrat.
However, there are definitely pockets of Conservative Hispanics in Florida and Texas and probably other states.
Only 16% of Asian-Indians voted for Trump in 2016 - and, AIs outside big cities and in toss up states vote almost as Hard Left as the urban AIs.
I live in the heart of Microsoft country.
My Congressional District is 40% foreign born.
In 2018, my incumbent Democrat Congressman got 70%.
His opponent - from the Socialist Party - got 30%!
I follow the tech industry as a journalist, and it’s incredible the number of Indian American leaders out there who are driving entrepreneurial companies.
Perhaps the biggest enemy is the Indian-born CEO of Microsoft whois driving the politically biased search engine, BING.
But on the flipside you’ve got Dinesh D’Sousa. Nobody, except Trump himself, takes it to the Dems like D’Sousa does.
Trump pulling off this event is a major coup! We are well on our way to eventually shifting the balance of US/Asia trade from China to fair-trade nations, especially India where the English language and tech-cultures mesh.
machira wrote THE Indain americans
That misspelling might be the way to identify those who have emigrated from India and indigenous Americans miss identified as Indians. Or how about Indeans ?
Empty sarcasm? I made an observation based on strategic interests and locations. Just pull out a map and you’ll see.
Ditto
Since modi ascended to power, he has encouraged hindu nationalism — in some cases, extreme. In Odisha, Arunachal Pradesh, Gujarat, Jharkhand, Uttarakhand, and Chhattisgarh states, anti-conversion laws have been enacted that practically make it illegal for Christians to make converts. Making converts and new disciples is one of the most important tenets of the Christian faith. Making that an illegal act is in effect quashing Christianity.
Violence, uprooting and dispossessing of Christians has become more and more widespread. Deny it to your heart’s content, ignore it as you please. But don’t accuse me of being bereft of truth.
I had such a hard time selling my house in NJ because it is overrun with Indians. They want something for nothing and it took a solid year and a half to sell it with only Indians who came looking. Finally, a sweet white family from Pennsylvania showed up and bought the house at our asking price. What a relief it was - people who understood the American way. If they had not shown up, I’d still be stuck there.
Your son dodged a bullet. He’d end up living with 40 Indian “relatives.”
Aam Aadmi Party’s SC-ST wing to protest demolition of Sant Ravidas Temple in TughlakabadIndia Updated Aug 17, 2019 | 21:04 IST | ANI
The SC-ST wing of the party said that the demolition of the temple by the BJP-run Delhi Development Authority has deeply angered people.
New Delhi: The SC-ST wing of the Aam Aadmi Party have planned a "gherao" of the BJP office here on Sunday to protest the demolition of the Sant Ravidas Temple in Tughlakabad.
The SC-ST wing of the party said that the demolition of the temple by the BJP-run Delhi Development Authority (DDA) has deeply angered people.
"On August 12, we wrote a letter to Prime Minister Modi and demanded that the temple be re-established at the same spot. But there was no response to that letter. This reflects BJP's anti-Dalit mentality," Rajendra Pal Gautam, Delhi's Social Welfare Minister and MLA from Seemapuri, said in a press conference at AAP headquarters.
The temple was demolished by the DDA on August 10.
"If BJP and Union Minister Hardeep Puri had wanted, they could have saved the temple. But they did not do so. Protests are taking place not only all over the country but also in Austria, England, Canada, USA. Sant Ravidas ji has close to 35 to 40 crore followers across the world. The destruction of the temple has hurt the faith of all these followers," said the Minister.
He alleged that the BJP has been practising the politics of mandir masjid in the country.
"It seems a Dalit's temple is not a temple. During the BJP's tenure, the temples of Dalit gurus Maharishi Valmiki, Ravidas Ji are being demolished across the country. Idols of Buddha, Ambedkar are being broken. There is no place for the greats of the Dalit community under BJP. Sant Ravidas ji came here in 1509. The lake next to it was also for the community. In 1959 Babu Jagjivan Ram had provided a lease for the land," Gautam said.
On the BJP's role in the demolition, he said, "Everyone should be respected in the society. Everyone should have the right to equality. If the BJP did not want the demolition to happen, then how did the DDA carry it out on August 10? Puri, who has been made in-charge of the Delhi unit by the BJP, directly controls the DDA. The demolition has taken place despite him having complete knowledge of it, and he's silent about it now."
He said the BJP should immediately resolve this and restore the temple otherwise people will launch a massive agitation.
Meanwhile, President of Aam Aadmi Party's SC-ST Wing and East MCD councillor Kuldeep Kumar announced that they will march and gherao the BJP office at 11.30 am on Sunday to demand that the temple be restored.

And this article clearly contradicts your claim that there is no inter-caste tension in India. There quite obviously is. There are plenty of videos on Youtube showing demonstrations against the Modi regime over the past several months as unemployment climbs and banks aren't lending money. There might have been more money printed, but several recent articles note that less and less cash is actually moving through the economy.
So really, the question is what position do you hold in the BJP?
I’ve found that too. And I say that as an Indian. It’s a cultural thing that covers different Indian ethnic groups. They stick together and think it’s okay to screw over someone who is not in their ethnic group, Indian or not. Gujaratis are the most cliquish, Punjabis the least.
