of chief ministers in India ) who are second generation Indians and one of them

is a woman !! Louisiana and South Carolina are the two states.

Only in America !!

Why are Indians Successful in the West?

The 'Whites' fought hard, decades ago, against their feudal system and now the

Migrant Talented Indians are enjoying the benefit of their struggle.

In India we are awaiting somebody to come and change our feudal system?

Till then the Talented will migrate and the rest await their saviour!
