From what I have read, seen, and experienced, immigrants from India are some of our most productive.
India is going to wind up being our most important ally before it’s all said and done.
A few years back I had been biking along the Esplanade in Boston ( where the July 4th fireworks and concert is held ). I finished biking right at the hatch-shell and there were thousands of Indians gathered for some type of event.
Turned out the event was India Independence Day. So I hung around a bit for the beginning, the master of ceremonies got up announced they were going to open the event with the National Anthem. They opened with the American so I stood up and so did all those thousands of Indians with hands over their hearts. They were singing along to the words - it was stirring to say the least. There were a few people sprawled out on the grass, blathering away, not paying attention. These folks? They were as pasty white as I am. Native born Americans as far as I could tell.
You can bet I stayed standing after the American anthem was over and they played the Indian anthem.
Got a chance to talk with any number of celebrants and they all raved about how they loved America and how their success could never be realized in their native land.
I'll say this - I have yet to meet a lazy Indian here in the states. Sure, they exist somewhere but the ones I know treasure education, hard work, family and success. God Bless Them - they put any number of our native born brothers and sisters to shame.
