With Vice-President Harris running for the Presidency and Vivek Ramaswamy an also-ran slated for better things in our future it may be time to learn a bit more about India’s societal structure and those immigrating to the US.
“How did the children of Indian immigrants reach the top of US establishments in just one generation?
