Under the hedding Immigration it is written that " A major wave of immigration to California from the soon-to-be Indian state of Punjab and the surrounding region took place in the first decade of the 20th century. Another significant wave followed in the 1950s, mainly students and professionals, including engineers."

I think I misunderstood what you guys want to explain or you guys are making a huge mistake. Punjab is a state of India, I don't think THE SOON TO BE INDIAN STATE OF PUNJAB is a correct phrase and I think it needs to be corrected.

Thanks,

[edit] Contradiction-inline tag

Please see the discussion that I started regarding a recent tag that has been added. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 14:58, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

A new discussion has been started regarding a new tag that has been added to contradictory content. --RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 22:20, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Conflict & contradiction re population ranking

I have placed {{contradict}} and {{contradict other}} tags in this article.

The contradict tag

This article appears to contain an internal contradiction re population ranking, as follows:

The Demographics section of this article asserts, "According to the results of the 2010 census, Asian Indians surpassed Filipino Americans as the second largest ethnic group to identify themselves as Asian Americans." A number of supporting sources are cited, and the statement is tagged with a {{contradict-inline}} tag.
The Statistics on Indians in the US section says, "Indian Americans are the third largest Asian American ethnic group today, following Chinese Americans and Filipino Americans.[2][3][4]" A number of supporting sources are cited.

I have not examined the information in the supporting sources but, regarding that, please consider WP:DUE.

The Contradict other tag.

This tag, unlike the Contradict -inline tag supports placement in two separate articles in which contradictions are seen, and identification of a discussion venue in either of the two articles. As there was already a discussion uderway there, I have identified Talk:Filipino American#June 2011 as the discussion venue for this contradiction. Please discuss a solution to resolve the contradiction there.

I came upon this when I stumbled across the contradiction discussion in the Filipino American article mentioned above. I am trying to be helpful by getting interested editors on both articles together to discuss and resolve these problems. As it happens, I am in travel mode myself, and I'm posting this from a hotel room. I probably will not have the time to get involved in extended discussion regarding this, but I'll comment that it seems to me from some superficial reading that resolution would grow out of attention to WP:DUE by editors of both articles. Please see some comments I made about that in the discussion section at Talk:Filipino American#June 2011. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 01:11, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Fareed Zakaria

Why is Fareed not a featured Indian American? He is certainly the most prominent and visible Indian working in mainstream media. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.59.151.115 (talk) 16:39, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure. I think this article is seriously crippled if we don't include people who were born in India but are now American citizens. It doesn't make sense. They are Indian Americans. Chinese-born Americans are included in the Chinese Americans article. Philippines-born Americans are included in the Filipino Americans article. Japanese-born Americans are included in the Japanese Americans article. In addition, all of the demographic data cited in this article refer to all people of Indian ancestry, including those who were born in India. We can't limit the article to focus just on America-born Indian-Americans if we include demographic data that is broader than that category. Someone please fix this article to be what it was before someone removed all Indian-born Americans. Beta.s2ph (talk) 07:41, 17 October 2011 (UTC)

Fareed Zakaria and his two PIO CNN colleagues (Sanjay Gupta and Ali Velshi) are the three most prominent Indian American newsmen (hell they are overall the most well known Asian American newsmen), at least one of them should be pictured here. Thegreyanomaly (talk) 04:09, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
