    Readers, We are so privileged that our intelligentsia, are making waves in the United states... Professionals from IIT, IIM and medical experts, are ruling the roost and are now claiming their rights, as a successful immigrants, in the land of opportunities !!!! We will definitely see more naturalized Indian/ American being voted as lawmakers. This will increase the close bonds n friendship between two great democratic nation

    Her origin is inidan ,but now she is already an american.If we had given a proper forum for them to showcase their talent here ,might be india would have been to a different level.
    But we here do all kinds of cheap politics based on religion,caste,north south,food,
    no concern for nature,nothing.And many people are ready to do anything for money and power.So dont be happy for her achievement.Feel sad that we could not encash her talent for betterment of out motherland.
