Millbourne, Pennsylvania

I found this borough near Philadelphia called Millbourne. According to the US Census 2000, this borough is 40.2% Indian. I strongly feel this borough should be included, but I know there should be a discussion first. here's the link --Jmumman (talk) 05:00, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Indian states of origin

Is there any sourced information available on the state of origin of Indian immigrants? Or even general regions like North, South and West India? —Preceding unsigned comment added by K. the Surveyor (talk • contribs) 00:01, 13 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Not to be picky about one word but...

Why is the word "among" used in the following sentence: "[Indian Americans] are among the most highly educated in American demographics." If you look at the statistics referenced for that sentence, Indian Americans are THE most highly educated in american demographics. 64% have a college degree, where as the next highest is the chinese with 46%. 12% have an advanced degree, whereas the next highest is once again the chinese with 8.5%. A simple removal of the word "among" would be nice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.58.68.150 (talk) 23:47, 30 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect "Asian Indians (80 percent) had the highest percentage of college completers. A higher percentage of Chinese (71 percent) completed college than all other Asian subgroups with the exception of Asian Indians and Koreans. " http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2007/minoritytrends/ind_7_26.asp

Nikki Haley won the Gubernatorial Race in South Carolina

Please change the article to reflect that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.173.194.214 (talk) 05:46, 3 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Addition to "Arrival to US" section under "History" section

{{Edit semi-protected}} The following should be added to accurately reflect the history of immigration of Indians to the United States:

In 1965, alongside much of the Civil Rights and Voting Rights legislation of 1964-6, President Lyndon Johnson signed the INS Act of 1965 into law, eliminating per-country immigration quotas and introducing immigration on the basis of professional experience and education. The elimination of these quotas paved the way for the surge of Indian immigrants that came during the late 1900s into the 21st century. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Before Being (talk • contribs)

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. — Bility (talk) 22:24, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Editing unsourced material

I am removing redundant and unsourced material from the page. For example, the page states the brain drain topic twice.

Unsourced material include attributes to why fewer Indians are emigrating here. I will update this page as I edit.Surag198 (talk) 20:26, 26 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
