Satellite of Grace|It's All One Episode
Indians first started coming to the US in 1790, and in the 1900 census they numbered 2,050 including the original 500 or so immigrants and their children and grandchildren. The first Indians, like many of the first Europeans, came here as indentured servants. By the 1980s, Indians were coming in droves to use their technological skill and savvy to cash in on the booming US economy. And yet, for many Americans they still seem like strangers, in no small part because of their religion. Ironically, though, Hinduism, the main religion of India, might be the most accessible part of Indian culture. My guest T.P. Sarathy talks to me about his life in India and the US as a Hindu.I'd like to invite you all to attend check out a Diwali celebration close to you.
