Washington, December 14: The Indian Diaspora in United States has come in for praise with a senior Obama administration official praising their success chart.
US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia, Robert Blake, said in his keynote address to the Washington DC annual gala of the American India Foundation (AIF) that Indians were today seen at every public platform, be it politics, academics or business. “There is no Diaspora community that is more successful and inspiring than the Indian-American community,” he said. He also said that “Indian Americans are increasingly seeing their influence grow, whether by election of political stars such as Governor Bobby Jindal of Louisiana or Governor Nikki Haley of South Carolina, you see people at every single level of government, at the highest level — business, academia and everywhere else.” AIF was founded in 2001 at the initiative of then US President Bill Clinton. It is the leading developmental organisation focused on helping Indians.
