    Extractions: Two Indian Americans, Indira Nooyi, president and chief financial officer of PepsiCo Inc, and Raj Gupta, chairman, chief executive officer and president of Rohm and Haas, have been named among the 10 Most Influential Asian Americans in Business for the year 2005.

Nooyi and Gupta will be presented with the award on May 5 in Washington D C during a three-day conference of the USPAACC's 20th anniversary celebrations. Nooyi is one of the most high-profile Indian Americans in the corporate world. In 2001, Fortune magazine put her in the 10th spot among the 50 most powerful women in business, up 33 places from her rank the previous year. Visiting India last month, she announced Pepsi will pump in up to $500 million in the country over the next few years, taking the company's investment in India to over $1 billion. Gupta, an 1967 Indian Institute of Technology graduate in mechanical engineering, heads the $7 billion Rohm and Haas, which specialises in making cutting-edge specialty chemicals that are used in products as diverse as paint and computers.

    Extractions: Search Rediff Debasish Mishra M any Indian Americans nationwide are lending their support to Bill Lann Lee, a Chinese American, who is currently serving as the Acting Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, the top civil rights enforcement position in the country. Across the country, many Americans are demanding that the word, 'Acting', be removed from Lee's title so that he may fully and vigorously fight for civil rights protections. If his current nomination is confirmed by the US Senate, Lee will become the highest ranking Asian American in the Clinton Administration. This has led some in the Indian American community to ask, 'Why should I give my support to a Chinese American? What has he done for us as Indian Americans?' The answer is simple: we should support Lee's nomination because his record in enforcing our nation's civil rights laws demonstrate that he is a man of enormous integrity and conviction who is committed to making this a better country for all Americans. The Civil Rights Division at the DOJ enforces laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, national origin, gender, disability, religion and other protected categories, in the workplace and in schools. Bill Lann Lee has done much to improve the lives of Americans by eradicating discrimination. One need only look at his record to understand why the Indian American community should step up and firmly support him.

    Demographic Data on asian americans and asian indian Population in the US. Prepared by Professor KV Rao from a variety of resources on the web.

    Extractions: India Network Foundation, Inc. Demographic Data on Asian Americans and Asian Indian Population in the US Prepared by Professor K.V. Rao from a variety of resources on the web. A racial category of Asian Indian was added to the US census questionnaire in 1980 for the first time in the history of Census. Due to lack of publicity of this new racial category and confusion with native American population with Asian Indian population, the 1980 census did not capture all Asian Indians and there were cases of misclassification and self-reporting errors. The 1990 census captured most Asian Indians but confusion remained. The 2000 US Census not only included Asian Indian race category but also allowed people to specify more than one race. Detailed analysis of mutli-race will be presented when the data is released by the Bureau which we hope will provide a picture of assimilation of Asian Indians with other racial groups through marriage/love relationships. The total United States population in 2000 is 281,421,906 (without any adjustment) The overall intercensal growth rate from 1990-2000 was 105.87% and the average annual growth rate was 7.6%. Asian Indians now comprise 0.6 percent of the United States population with 1,678,765 (crossing first time the million mark). Asian Americans consists of 3.6 percent of the United States population, with 10,242,998. By including multiple race reporting, this number exceed 11 million population. Asian Indians form the third largest Asian American Group comprising 16.4% of the Asian Americans (Chinese, and Filipinos take the first two slots).

    Extractions: (c) Arthur Hu 1984-2020, please cite when using data from here on how to get more complete data or complete text of these references Some people collect stuff, this is my 15 plus years collection of racial statistics, organized around statistics for Asian Americans. Most racial statistics are given for blacks, maybe hispanics, but very few for Asians. Asians are unusual in that they have both the characteristics of disadvantaged minorities, like the African Americans, and over-achieving minorities such as the Jews and Episcopalians. What is remarkable is that, contrary to the popular thesis that Whites are always on top, and persons of color are always on the bottom because of racism, more often than not, Asians have lower rates of most headline problems. You'll almost never see them documented because of the unwritten rule that Whites must end up best and Blacks, worst. If you wander around, you'll also find evidence of when even the lower income, lower education Hispanics are better (AIDS rates, infant mortality, life expectancy) and even the few places where Blacks are better. I rank them, and figure out a conclusion instead of starting out with the conclusion and ommitting data that doesn't support it. Asians have higher household incomes are healthier , get better grades and test scores , go to the best colleges at the highest rates in the most rewarding and difficult fields commit fewer crimes , and have more solid families in terms of structure than the whites, even though they may have a higher rate of

    Extractions: The film centers around immigrant Anju Mehta (Madhur Jaffrey) and her two grown Desi children, Raj (Faran Tahir), a hardworking accountant, and Nina (Sheetal Sheth), a successful ad executive. Raj is the obedient son who dutifully entered an arranged engagement with a traditional Indian woman whom he doesn't quite love, and Nina is the angry daughter who uses promiscuity as a weapon of rebellion. Anju is the typical Indian matriarch who wishes the best for her children but often gets her goodwill mistaken for oppression. For the kids, it's a constant struggle to balance their American identity with their mother's plea that they not forget their Indian roots.
