Dear Reader,
A horrific spate of gun violence this past week has taken innocent lives on the eve of Lunar New Year. It should have been a moment to celebrate new beginnings. India Currents stands in solidarity with families and our neighbors from China and South East Asia. We are firmly committed to Stop the Hate, from outside and within our communities.
In this country of immigrants, it’s de rigueur to nitpick over religious, cultural, and ethnic differences to frame otherness, to keep newcomers at bay. Check out our feature story on Harmeet Dhillon! Will this successful Sikh immigrant face a bumpy ride for RNC Chair? And what will happen to the beleaguered Indian H1B workforce who face crippling immigration policy country caps, even as the tech industry ruthlessly slashes the jobs that brought them here?
We tell stories about how our immigrant community copes. If you have a story to share, write me at editor@indiacurrents.com
