This chapter examines the immigration of South Asian and Indian populations to the United States between 1820 and 2015. Those who wish to do so may apply after meeting certain requirements, including having lived in the U.S. for five years. 39 This finding holds even if we use a binary measure of Indian American concentration, using a cut-off of two percent of a countrys population; drop outlier counties with unusually high concentrations of Indian Americans; control for the total number of households in a county; and control for a respondents place of birth. This section reviews respondents views on discrimination against Indian Americans. However, the results point in the opposite direction. While immigration has been at the forefront of a national political debate, the U.S. public holds a range of views about immigrants living in the country. 47 Andrew Daniller, Majorities of Americans See At Least Some Discrimination Against Black, Hispanic and Asian People in the U.S., Pew Research Center, March 18, 2021, https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2021/03/18/majorities-of-americans-see-at-least-some-discrimination-against-black-hispanic-and-asian-people-in-the-u-s/. Americans were divided on future levels of immigration. The United States is home to the largest number of immigrants a person who comes to a country to take up permanent residence (whether lawfully or unlawfully) on the planet. Immigrants today account for 13.7% of the U.S. population, nearly triple the share (4.8%) in 1970. For instance, the category Other Backward Classes (OBC) is common among Muslims, while Scheduled Castes or Dalits can also be found in Buddhist, Sikh, Christian, and Muslim communities. However, the magnitude of the effect is modest. Thirty-one percent respond that it is a major problem, 53 percent believe it is a minor problem, and a small minority (17 percent) believe it is not a problem at all. 32 The latter figure might be even greater if there are those who consider their Indian identity to be so unimportant that they do not self-identify as a person of (Asian) Indian origin in the YouGov panel to begin with. Third, caste discrimination is a surprisingly equal opportunity offense. 75% of Minnesotas foreign-born residents are working, up from 70% a decade ago. In 2018, most immigrants lived in just 20 major metropolitan areas, with the largest populations in the New York, Los Angeles and Miami metro areas. This study is the third in a series on the social, political, and foreign policy attitudes of Indian Americans. Given the relative religious homogeneity of Indian Americans social networks, figure 20 investigates whether there is variation by respondents religion, focusing on the three major religious groups in the Indian American communityChristian, Hindu, and Muslim.

Fifty percent of respondents who have been in the United States for ten years or less say that being Indian is very important to their identity, compared to 42 percent for those who have been in the United States for more than twenty-five years.

Hispanics are also the nation's largest immigrant group and one of its fastest growing populations. Finally, the survey examines the identity of the person(s) responsible for engaging in discriminatory behavior. Respondents for this survey were recruited from an existing panel administered by YouGov. Among those immigrant populations, countries of origin also vary widely. The actual change is expected to come in 2055, when Asians will become the largest immigrant group at 36 percent, compared with Hispanics at 34 percent. Apart from attending religious services, the survey asks respondents how frequently they pray (outside of the times they attend religious services). Seventy-three percent of respondents believe that Asian Americans who are not of Indian origin face more discrimination than Indian Americans. Of that segment that was educated abroad, 42 percent arrived in the United States with an undergraduate degree and another 38 percent had completed a graduate or professional degree before their arrival. Eleven percent finished high school elsewhere, while only 8 percent had less than a high school education. Given that only 5 percent of IAAS respondents report being victims of caste discrimination, any subgroup analysis must be interpreted with due care given the small sample sizes involved.

Of the 337,000 immigrants deported in 2018, some 44% had criminal convictions and 56% were not convicted of a crime. At Carnegie, we owe special thanks to Samuel Brase and Cooper Hewell for their editorial assistance. Rankings only apply to origin countries that meet this criterion. The five largest foreign-born groups in the United States, including those from Mexico, the Philippines, India, China, and Vietnam, account for 44 percent of the total immigrant population. However, duration of stay remains significant. Much larger shares believe that other minority groups face greater discrimination than Indian Americans, including Latino Americans (90 percent), LGBTQ Americans (89 percent), African Americans (86 percent), and women (86 percent). To a certain extent, however, many of these factors are inseparable. Vietnamese Americans are the largest Asian origin group by population in four states (Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Nebraska); Hmong Americans are the largest in Minnesota and Wisconsin; and Korean Americans are the largest in Alabama. 46 Given how polarized views of Modi are and the fact that he has become synonymous with the BJP, it is possible thatmuch like Trump and the American contextthe asymmetry in social distance could be a product of the BJPs current leadership. India tops that list in 21 states. Comments. 4 Sanjoy Chakravorty, Devesh Kapur, and Nirvikar Singh, The Other One Percent: Indians in America (New York: Oxford University Press, 2017). Figure 30 provides the geographic distribution of survey respondents by state of residence. However, the study is not based on a representative sample, raising questions about the generalizability of its findings.29. To what extent does the community exhibit signs of shared solidarity, and are there signs of division as the group grows in number and diversity? And despite the overall professional, educational, and financial success many Indian Americans enjoy, this has not inoculated them from the forces of discrimination, polarization, and contestation over questions of belonging and identity. On average, an H-1B visa holder reports living in the United States for eight years, although 36 percent of H-1B beneficiaries report spending more than a decade in the country (that is, they arrived before 2010). The English are the largest ethnic group among the 3.9 million people counted, though nearly one in five Americans are of African heritage. The margin of error for the full sample of 1,200 respondents is +/- 2.8 percent. Nearly one in four respondents reports no particular attachment to a state of origin. The survey also queries respondents about whether they participated, over the past twelve months, in any of five political activities: volunteering or working on a political campaign; posting comments online about politics; discussing politics with friends and family; contributing money to a candidate, party, or campaign organization; or contacting their elected representative or another government official. Its findings are based on a nationally representative online survey of 1,200 Indian American residents in the United Statesthe 2020 Indian American Attitudes Survey (IAAS)conducted between September 1 and September 20, 2020, in partnership with the research and analytics firm YouGov. The IAAS sample includes both citizens and non-U.S. citizens; the former category accounts for 77 percent of the survey respondents. The survey asks respondents whether they believe other minorities experience a greater degree of discrimination relative to Indian Americans (see figure 25). Only adult respondents (ages eighteen and above) who identified as Indian American or a person of (Asian) Indian origin were able to participate in the survey. As the profile of the Indian American community has grown, so too has its economic, political, and social influence. U.S.-born Indian Americans, however, are more likely to report a social network with a limited number of Indians (stating very few or none of their friends are of Indian origin) or to take the middle ground42 percent of them report that some of their friends are Indian origin, compared to 35 percent of foreign-born respondents.40. This represents 19.1% of the 244 million international migrants worldwide, and 14.4% of the United States' population. Most of the nations unauthorized immigrant population lived in these top metro areas as well. The propensity score function included age, gender, years of education, and region. The survey asks respondents whether they participate in a set of holidays, some associated with India and others that are either associated with the United States or are more global in nature. Other regions contributing smaller percentages of immigrants included the Middle East and North Africa (4%), sub-Saharan Africa (5%), South America (7%), Central America (8%), the Caribbean (10%), and as well as Europe, Canada and other North America (13%). Minnesota has proportionally fewer immigrants compared to the nation as a whole, but we have long been a state shaped by immigration. U.S.-born citizens report the highest levels of civic engagement, followed by foreign-born citizens and, in all categories save for one, non-citizens report the lowest levels of civic engagement. Many respondents are between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five and, thus, are plausibly in the middle of their educational training. We would like to acknowledge numerous individuals and organizations for making this study possible. If one restricts attention to respondents aged twenty-five and older, nearly 80 percent have either a college or postgraduate degree (compared to 73 percent in the overall sample). Nineteen percent of those who do not identify with a caste group answer similarly. Using data from the US Census Bureau, we found the country that was the most common birthplace for foreign-born residents in each state (excluding Mexico, which was the most common country of birth for immigrants in 32 states). However, thanks to the decline in response rates, the rise of the internet and smartphone penetration, and the evolution in statistical techniques, nonprobability panelssuch as the one YouGov employshave quickly become the norm in survey research.55 For instance, the Economist partnered with YouGov to track political attitudes around the November 2020 U.S. presidential election using a customized panel.56. It explores this contentious subject in three ways. It Depends on the Measure, Pew Research Center, June 17, 2014, https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/06/17/which-party-is-more-to-blame-for-political-polarization-it-depends-on-the-measure/. The backgrounds of children of immigrants' families vary by state and region. Forty-seven percent of Hindu respondents report identifying with a caste, which means the majority (53 percent) said that they do not personally identify with a caste group of any kind. (Respondents can select multiple choices from a preselected menu of options, so the percentages in the figure do not add up to 100.). Thirty-seven percent of Congress supporters are somewhat comfortable having friends who support the BJP (identical to the share of BJP supporters who are somewhat comfortable having Congress friends), but just 23 percent say they are very comfortable having BJP supporters as friends (for BJP supporters, the analogous share is 35 percent). The IAAS survey first asks respondents if they think discrimination against people of Indian origin is a major problem. In 2020, about 8% of Minnesotans were foreign-born, but that percentage was as high as 37% in the late 1800s. Several states have Canada as a major source of immigrants. In both instances, roughly three-quarters of perpetrators were identified as non-Indians. The variation in respondents feelings of Indian-ness begs the question of how Indian Americans navigate multiple identities linked both to their country of origin as well as their country of settlement. However, the major distinction has to do with the intensity of this feeling, exemplified by the sharp difference in the share of respondents who report being very comfortable with friends of the opposite faith: 52 percent of Hindus are very comfortable having close Muslim friends, while 46 percent of Muslims are very comfortable having close Hindu friends. For instance, the social networks of an Indian American in Wyoming (where there are very few Indian Americans) will likely be dominated by non-Indian Americans. In all, 52 percent of Indians in America completed their education in the United States. As one might expect, both Hindus and Muslims are overwhelmingly comfortable having close friends who share their faith: 97 percent of Hindu respondents report being very or somewhat comfortable having close Hindu friends, and 96 percent of Muslims report the same. Why Are Hate Crime Charges So Rare?, New York Times, March 18, 2021, https://www.nytimes.com/2021/03/18/nyregion/asian-hate-crimes.html. Millions of people are polled annually as part of the American Community Survey by the U.S. Census Bureau to learn more about their social, economic, and demographic circumstances. Here's How the Answer Got So Complicated, Time, March 12, 2020, https://time.com/5800209/asian-american-census/. Thirty-three percent were born in the United States but with at least one parent who was born outside of the United States. Rounding out the list, 41 percent report celebrating Holi (the Indian festival of colors that traditionally marks the beginning of Spring), 39 percent celebrate Valentines Day, 35 percent mark Indian Independence Day (August 15), and 20 percent commemorate Eid. This finding tracks with other studies of immigrant communities.37. 56 To find details on the Economist-YouGov collaboration or to compare some of the IAAS findings on Indian Americans with the American population more generally, visit https://today.yougov.com/topics/economist/survey-results. Language and personal barriers, lack of interest and financial barriers are among the top reasons for choosing not to naturalize cited by Mexican-born green card holders, according to a 2015 Pew Research Center survey. First, as noted above, the data on caste identification is restricted to Hindu respondents. My dad and mom told my brother and me that we came to America to be Americans. as well as other partner offers and accept our. On the matter of campaign finance, one-fifth of U.S.-born citizens report contributing to a political campaign, while just 13 percent of foreign citizens and 5 percent of non-citizens said they did so. Fifty-four percent of Republicans say they are very comfortable having Democratic friends. In the same exchange, Biden later added: One of the reasons why were such an incredible country is were such a diverse country. Migration Policy Institute tabulation of data from theU.S. Census Bureau's pooled 2009-2013American Community Survey. 24 Christine Tamir, Aidan Connaughton, and Ariana Monique Salazar, The Global God Divide, Pew Research Center, July 20, 2020, https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2020/07/20/the-global-god-divide/. By contrast, more than half (57%) of immigrants who have lived in the U.S. for 20 years or more are proficient English speakers. Another 6 percent were born in either Bangladesh or Pakistan. Data from the ACS show that the share of married couple households in the community is 50 percent greater than the U.S. average.20 In the IAAS sample, 66 percent of respondents were married or in a domestic partnership. Overall, one-third of respondents report membership in an Indian American organization. But how Indian Americans choose to deploy this influence remains an open question. 50 Surinder S. Jodhka and Ghanshyam Shah, Comparative Contexts of Discrimination: Caste and Untouchability in South Asia, Economic and Political Weekly 45, no. The first time Mexicans did not make up the bulk of Border Patrol apprehensions was in 2014. There were 10.5 million unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. in 2017, accounting for 3.2% of the nations population. Where does this leave the Indian American community and its role in promoting U.S.-India relations? While the former report that a slightly higher share of their social network comprises people of the same caste, if one sets aside the dont know responses, the relative differences between caste identifiers and non-identifiers is marginal. 19 Chakravorty, Kapur, and Singh, The Other One Percent, table 2.2 and figure 2.4. 12 Sumitra Badrinathan, Devesh Kapur, and Milan Vaishnav, How Will Indian Americans Vote? . Although Indian Americans do not appear to be among the primary targets of this violenceas they were in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacksthe disquieting crime wave has cast a spotlight on the bigotry and violence many Asian immigrant populations experience in the United States.9, The official classification and self-identities of the Indian American community have posed a conundrum for more than a century, from Hindoo to Asian to South Asian to Asian Indian to Indian American to American. Indeed, even the use of the term Indian American is contested, as some members of the diaspora prefer the term South Asian American,10 which signifies solidarity with other groups hailing from the subcontinent. Eighty-three percent of foreign-born Indian Americans claim being Indian is either very or somewhat important to their identity, compared to 70 percent of U.S.-born Indian Americans. Thirteen percent of respondents are Muslim, 11 percent are Christian, and another 7 percent belong to a variety of other faiths including Buddhism and Sikhism. Christians, whose views are represented in the bottom two horizontal bars of figure 22, hold roughly similar attitudes toward both Hindus and Muslims. Fifty-one percent of Democrats say they are somewhat comfortable with Republican friends and 22 percent say they are not comfortable (more than twice the number of Republicans who felt that way about Democrats). In 2020, about8% of Minnesotans were foreign-born, but that percentage was as high as 37% in the late 1800s. Nearlyhalf a million immigrantscall Minnesota home, a population that includes citizens and non-citizens, students and workers, and refugees who fled their home countries. To what degree do Indian Americans engage with American politics, their civic community, and Indian culture? Overall, the Obama administration deported about 3 million immigrants between 2009 and 2016, a significantly higher number than the 2 million immigrants deported by the Bush administration between 2001 and 2008. The reverse is true when it comes to identifying as Indian: the majority of Indian Americans who have lived in the United States between one and ten years (54 percent) feel most comfortable with this term, while that share declines to just 21 percent for those here for more than twenty-five years. Fifty-eight percent of Christians report attending church at least once or several times per week. The top 15 states also include several with large immigrant populations, such as Florida, Washington, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, where the foreign-born population grew faster than in the country overall. First, the survey asked respondents how important being Indian is to their identity. While U.S.-born women gave birth to more than 3 million children that year, immigrant women gave birth to about 760,000. Each year, more than 1 million immigrants enter the country. document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); document.getElementById( "ak_js_2" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); 2023 Dallas Express. Fewer than one in ten respondents (9 percent) do not participate in any of these seven holidays. Second, around one-third of Christians and Hindus and two-fifths of Muslims are situated in the middle, reporting that some of their Indian American networks are made up of friends of the same religion. Stay up to date with what you want to know. The number of apprehensions at the U.S.-Mexico border has doubled from fiscal 2018 to fiscal 2019, from 396,579 in fiscal 2018 to 851,508 in fiscal 2019. Sixty-four percent of respondents call a single state their home state, while 12 percent identify with multiple home states. Thirty percent of non-citizen IAAS respondents possess a green card (or a permanent residency card), which places them on a pathway to gaining U.S. citizenship. Hover over a state to view the total number of immigrants and their top region of birth. In 2018, the percentage of women giving birth in the past year was higher among immigrants (7.5%) than among the U.S. born (5.7%). Four percent have completed at least a junior college (two-year program) education, while 9 percent have completed some college. Responses are disaggregated by respondents place of birth.

Today, Indian Americans are a mosaic of recent arrivals and long-term residents. One percent of respondents point to some other factor. The February 2021 IAAS study found several indications that polarization in India had successfully metastasized in the Indian American community in the United States. The survey also asks respondents how comfortable they would be if a son/daughter married someone from a particular background. Lawful immigrants made up the majority of the immigrant workforce, at 21.2 million. Additionally, a narrow focus on demographics such as income, wealth, education, and professional success can obscure important (and sometimes uncomfortable) social truths. As the number of Indian-origin residents in the United States has swelled north of 4 million, the community's diversity too has grown. Asian immigrants collectively comprised 28%, FBI Accused of Covering Up Buried Treasure. Once more, U.S.-born citizens lead the pack with 22 percent of them reporting participation in this activity. In contrast, there is more variation on the dimensions of region and caste. How then do we make sense of the heterogeneity encapsulated by the more than 4 million people of Indian origin in the United States, a group that is the second-fastest-growing immigrant community in the country? Using data from the U.S. Census Bureau, Business Insider identified the country of origin of the largest group of foreign-born residents in each state. For complete survey topline results, please visit Appendix B here. 5 Devesh Kapur and Jashan Bajwa, A Study of Poverty in the Indian American Population, Johns Hopkins-SAIS, October 2020, https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qCf6RE2L2FpvA6mny2Y_Xtof_zdJpFdC/view. The Dallas Express is a non-profit organization funded by charitable support and advertising. Young people place less importance on being Indian, even after controlling for how long they have been in the United States. What the data says about gun deaths in the U.S. Pew Research Center estimates indicate that in 2065, those who identify as Asian will make up some 38% of all immigrants; as Hispanic, 31%; White, 20%; and Black, 9%. Mexico was the most often mentioned birthplace among respondents in 32 states who indicated they were born outside of the U.S. More than 11 million immigrants, or nearly 25% of all immigrants in the U.S., come from Mexico. This study relied on a nonrepresentative snowball sampling method to recruit respondents. 22 There is no one-to-one correspondence between Hindi and an Indian state of origin since the language is spoken across a broad swath of states, especially but not exclusively in north and central India. However, non-citizens are about as likely as foreign-born citizens to engage in the resolution of community issues (12 percent versus 11 percent). Twenty-six percent of U.S.-born citizens report taking part in voluntary service compared to 18 percent of foreign-born citizens and 14 percent of non-citizens. 17 This compares with 60 percent as per data from the 2018 ACS. All of the analyses in this study were conducted using the statistical software R and employ sample weights to ensure representativeness. The previous section demonstrated that, for many Indian Americans, shared religious affiliation is the most important characteristic of respondents social networks. CORRECTION (Sept. 21, 2020): An update to the methodology used to tabulate figures in the chartAmong new immigrant arrivals, Asians outnumber Hispanicshas changed all figures from 2001 and 2012. Respondents can select from one of three responses: very comfortable, somewhat comfortable, or not comfortable. A majority of Hindus (52 percent) report attending religious services once or twice a month or just a few times a year, while another 25 percent report seldom or never attending religious services. 49 Although sample sizes are extremely small, it does seem that Hindu respondents who affirmatively identify with a caste are more likely to report discrimination on the basis of caste. Bookmark Quiz Douglas Farrar, Cliff Djajapranata, Fiona Garguilo, Jessica Katz, Laura Lucas Magnuson, Lori Merritt, Tim Martin, Jocelyn Soly, and Cameron Zotter contributed design, editorial, and production assistance. At the time of the survey, more than half (55 percent) of Indian Americans reported that they had an immediate family member (spouse, mother, father, brother, sister, son, or daughter) currently residing in India. In all 15 states except West Virginia the total population increased between 2010 and 2016. Thirty-six percent say they are somewhat comfortable and 10 percent say they are not comfortable at all. Hindus who recently arrived in the United States are just as likely to identify with a caste group as those who have been here for a quarter-century or more.31. For 21 states, including Texas, immigrants from India represented the largest group after those from Mexico. Some 47% of immigrants living in the U.S. five years or less are proficient.
