However, this number represents an increase of 63% from the 1990 census, making Asian Americans the fastest growing of all the major racial/ethnic groups in the U.S., in terms of percentage growth. But in so many ways, the presence of Asian Americans is much more prominent than even these numbers suggest.

A Sticky Wicket Turmoil in South Asia and a Recession at Home Have Left the Region's Powerful Indian and Pakistani Communities, Which Flocked to the Tech Sector over the Last 10 Years, in an Unfamiliar Position: Vulnerable. Leaders Hope the Challenges Will Lead to a New Vitality. by Josh Kurlantzick PHOTOGRAPHS BY FORREST MacCORMACK NATIONAL PASTIME: PAKISTANI-BORN FARAZ HAIDER (LEFT) AND INDIAN-BORN ASHOK MUDUKUTORE PLAY TOGETHER IN THE WASHINGTON CRICKET LEAGUE. BUT TENSIONS BETWEEN THEIR HOME COUNTRIES ARE CAUSING PROBLEMS FOR IMMIGRANTS HERE. Ashok Mudukutore, an Indian-born software developer for Cisco Systems and key player for the Washington Cricket League's Fairfax club, is worried about a lot of things this season, which runs from late spring to early fall. He's worried about when to hold practices, how to structure the team, and where to place extra players - familiar burdens to any after-work team captain. But this year, Mudukutore has much bigger challenges than he's faced in past seasons: political and economic turmoil. In recent months, India and Pakistan teetered on the brink of a war that some worry could go nuclear, terrorists attacked the United States, and the technology sector wallowed in recession - all of which weigh heavily on Mudukutore's Indian and Pakistani-American cricket-playing colleagues. For a community that was economically powerful and politically confidant just a little more than a year ago, these are unsettling times. Washington's powerful South Asian-American business community finds itself in an unfamiliar position of groping for new capital, new ideas, and new jobs.

South Asian Americans By: Ryan Minato, Research Analyst Immigration Waves Although, the first South Asians came in the 1790s, there were only 523 South Asians in North America in 1898. Between 1899-1913 the first immigration wave brought nearly 7,000 South Asians. These early pioneers were primarily Sikh farmers from the Punjab region who came to California and the Pacific Northwest to work the fields when white nativist hysteria excluded immigration from China, Japan, and Korea. South Asians, however, soon faced significant opposition from organized labor who petitioned to stop immigration from Asia altogether. Under such hostility, many left and by 1940 the number of South Asians decreased significantly, with approximately 2,400 remaining in the U.S. World War II marked a second immigration wave and public support for South Asians increased as the prospect of India’s independence came closer to reality. In 1946, the Luce-Celler bill lifted the ban on South Asian immigration. By 1947, Mahatma Gandhi and the people of South Asia put an end to British colonialism, and many students came to the U.S. to study. The third and largest wave came after the 1965 Immigration Act. Before 1965, approximately 12,000 South Asians lived in the U.S. By 1990, the South Asian American population was 919,626 or a

At the center of the room, a slender middle-aged woman chants softly. She's surrounded by two dozen young performers playing beggars and peddlers who rise from slumber in the intricate ballet of an urban morning scene. Their dance moves become ever more energetic as the pianist in the corner pounds harder on the keys. The woman is Madhur Jaffrey, the actress and cookbook author who has made a career of introducing the tastes of her native India to the West. But this time she is serving up an enticing mix of Indian and Western rhythms called "Bombay Dreams," a Broadway musical that Andrew Lloyd Weber and his creative team hope will hook mainstream America when the show opens next month. RELATED STORY Profiles: Powerful and Influential South Asians The stars of this breakout generation include directors like M. Night Shyamalan, 33 ("The Sixth Sense," "Signs"), and artists like the critically acclaimed Pakistani-born painter Shahzia Sikander, 34. Or writers like Jhumpa Lahiri, 36, the Pulitzer Prize winner whose recent novel about a second-generation Indian-American, "The Namesake," shared the best-seller lists with "The Da Vinci Code."

Box 5698 Trenton, NJ 08638 Dear Mr. Johnson: We believe that political commentary plays an important role in shaping the views and opinions of the public. However, when such commentary is tinged with racial and ethnic stereotyping, it crosses the line. It exacerbates preconceived (and obviously untrue) notions of South Asians and Asians as outsiders, and can often provide justification for overt acts of prejudice in the form of employment discrimination, bias and hate-motivated violence. We urge you to immediately take the following actions in response: The state of New Jersey, with its diverse demographic population, provides tremendous opportunities for coalition-building among the various communities that reside there. For example, in the state of New Jersey, there are approximately 225,000 individuals of South Asian descent who trace their heritage to Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Nepal among other nations. 101.5 FM, as a public broadcasting station that has thousands of listeners, can do much to build understanding among communities in New Jersey.
