A historical perspective of Americans of Asian Indian origin Written By, Srirajasekhar Bobby Koritala Introduction The Pioneers Coming to America The Riots ... References Introduction This is a brief historical perspective of Americans of Asian Indian origin. Having immigrated from India to the USA, I have developed a curiosity about people like myself who have moved to "Amerika". For a long time I hardly knew anything about "Indians in America". Frankly, I didn't care to know. After all I was just a student in the USA who wanted to get a great education and return home to India. But circumstances changed and I decided to become an immigrant to the USA. It was at this point that I wondered about the Indian immigrants who had come before me and made similar decisions to stay. I'd always assumed that Indians never really came to the USA until the 1960s. However, I remembered vaguely, from my high school history lessons, that there had been a group of Indian expatriates who had formed a party, called the "Ghadhar Party", in the USA to assist in India's struggle for freedom from British colonial dominion. So I had an inkling that there was more to the story than I knew. Well, the experience of researching and learning about the history of Indian immigration to the USA has been enlightening, to say the least. Mind-blowing is more like it! I had no idea. I've wanted to share this knowledge with people and that's why I've written this perspective. I don't really have the time to write in more detail, so please forgive the brief nature of this document. I have included some references at the end and I strongly encourage interested persons to look them up.

The population now stands close to two million. Representing the greatest growth of any Asian group in decennial census history, Indian Americans have become the third largest Asian group in the U.S. behind Chinese and Filipino Americans.

"One obvious factor for the growth in the Indian-American community is the importing of hi-tech workers." From 1987 through 1997, on average about 35,000 Indians immigrated permanently to the United States annually. This does not include those who obtained high-skilled H-1B visas to work in the United States for up to six years. INS data for the period from May 1998 through July 1999 shows that of 134,000 new H-1B visas granted, nearly half, or 63,900, went to people from India. According to an estimate provided by the Immigration Support Network, a lobby group that works in the interests of H1-B workers, last year there were approximately 400,000 Asian Indian hi-tech visa holders in the U.S.

This is a science-based resource calendar on the health effects of drugs of abuse and on drug addiction, its prevention, and its treatment. It has been made especially for Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and other Pacific Islanders, but we hope many communities, schools, and families nationwide will find it useful. Drug abuse and addiction affect every culture, race, socioeconomic level, and age group in the United States. Knowing the harmful effects of the drugs most frequently abused is one of the first steps toward understanding the high risks involved with taking drugs. It is also important to have deep respect for those individuals who enter the healing process of treatment, and to acknowledge not only the drug abuser, but also an entire family, and often an entire culture. We extend our deepest gratitude to those who contributed their guidance, creative recommendations, cultural sensitivity, and translation skills in the development of this resource.With their help, the rich and diverse histories of the many Asian, Native Hawaiian, and other Pacific Islander cultures are captured in the artwork or photography featured each month. In addition, they have provided translations for 9 of the months in this resource calendar, which features 12 of these cultures thriving in America today.

TIPS Home What's New Mission Site Map ... Related Links American Indians and Alaska Natives and Tobacco Approximately 2 million American Indians and Alaska Natives live in the United States. Since July 1, 1990, the U.S. population of American Indians and Alaska Natives has increased by 10.4%. The number of American Indians and Alaska Natives is expected to increase steadily to 2.4 million in 2000, 3.1 million in 2020, and 4.4 million in 2050. Major subgroups in this population are American Indians, Eskimos, and Aleuts. Most American Indians and Alaska Natives have settled across the country; the largest percentage resides in Oklahoma (13%). Although many tribes consider tobacco a sacred gift and use it during religious ceremonies and as traditional medicine, the tobacco-related health problems they suffer are caused by chronic cigarette smoking and spit tobacco use. Because of the cultural and geographic diversity of American Indians and Alaska Natives, tobacco use often varies widely by region or subgroup. Health Effects Nationally, lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among American Indians and Alaska Natives.
