I am a proud American of Indian origin and strongly oppose removing a veteran flag to fly the Indian flag. This is American soil and the US flag reigns supreme. I see no problem with the celebration of the Indian independence day and if they want to fly a flag they can get a separate pole for the duration of the ceremony.

The issue is not whether Indian veterans have made sacrifices to keep India free, that is a non issue. This is the United States of America and even if Edison is 40% Indians, this is still the USA. Multiculturalism is suicidal even regarding Indians who are a model immigrant community. There should be one dominant culture in America which has made it the greatest nation in the world.

Thanks for your sensible comment. All I would say is that still going to be the USA even if Edison is 100% of Indian origin. Many towns (or parts thereof) seem like Little India, or Little Italy, or Chinatown, or whatever, but they're still 100% USA.

Maneesh, great post! I should say that most Indian Americans are an asset to our state. I wish they would change their god-awful politics but, like most immigrant/"ethnic" groups to our shores, they are taken in by the Dem machines from the moment they step off the plane.

Many Indian folks I know are conservatives of the heart, but liberals in the brain. Some of us hope to change that.

I agree the flags should have separate poles. It’s actually insulting to fly another nation’s flag on the same staff below an American flag; they should be at equal height. State flags or other subsidiary flags like a POW/MIA or Oakland Raiders flag can be flown below an American flag. Don’t people know flag etiquette??
