The Art of Giving Back: MR Rangaswami, Founder @Indiaspora
Manage episode 350581407 series 3346561
Immigration to the United States from India started in the early 19th century when Indian immigrants began settling in communities along the West Coast. Although they originally arrived in small numbers, new opportunities arose in middle of the 20th century, and the population grew larger in following decades. As of 2019, about 2.7 million Indian immigrants resided in the United States. Today, Indian immigrants account for approximately 6 percent of the U.S. foreign-born population, making them the second-largest immigrant group in the country, after Mexicans and ahead of immigrants from China and the Philippines.
The Indian diaspora have managed to make a mark in fields as diverse as academia, arts, business, entertainment, healthcare, media, philanthropy, politics, government, science, technology and more.
