Indians in America: A Psychological Exploration of Achievement. 30 individuals. 1 country. And a zeal to make it to the top. This is the resounding tale of immigrants who journeyed to America and settled for nothing but the best. Stories of hope, belief, dreams, and an indefatigable spirit. “For generations, Indians and Indian Americans have contributed extraordinary talent across sectors in the United States. The stories of the remarkable individuals in this book should be explored as exemplars of the achievement and boundless potential in this community.” - Senator Bob Casey, Jr.
As blurb suggested book indeed shows stories of 30 individual from different domains. Indian have proved their excellence not just in IT but various other domains like Accounting, Law, Economics, Arts, Journalism, Physics, Healthcare, Politics in last 50 years. The author wanted to study how Indians were able to reach the milestone in such short span compared to other immigrant communities. Instead of focusing too much on IT excellence or Motel-Hotel business, the author has explored other domains and found out gems from respective areas.
I am a great fan of business stories or success stories and that's why I disappointed when I found stories are limited to few psychological questions which author wanted to explore from Indian communities. But overall it's an inspiring compilation.
