Indian Americans are supporting Trump in large numbers

by Guest Mon Aug 22, 2016 5:17 pm

In mid-August, at a concert in New York City to celebrate the 70th anniversary of India’s independence, Anand Ahuja got into a playful argument with Hetal Gor. Inside the United Nations General Assembly Hall, Gor was explaining why she will vote for Hillary Clinton, and Ahuja chimed in with disparaging remarks about the Democratic presidential nominee.
“She has a track record,” said Gor, a New Jersey-based gynecologist, who grew up in Bombay.

“Of lies,” said Ahuja, a Nassau County lawyer, who co-founded the political action committee Indian Americans for Trump earlier this year.

Indian-Americans have historically been stalwarts of Democratic support: 65% of Indian-Americans identified with Democrats in 2014, according to the Pew Research Center.

On the day of the concert, Trump said people coming to the US should be subjected to an ideological test.

Yet despite his anti-immigrant rhetoric, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is seeing a surprising amount of support among Indian-Americans, many of whom are immigrants or children of immigrants.

In addition to Indian-Americans for Trump, the more religiously-focused group, Hindus for Trump, meets occasionally in Brooklyn—the group has an image of Trump sitting cross-legged on a lotus flower on its Facebook page. In July, the also religious Republican Hindu Coalition, which formed last year to increase the clout of Hindus in American politics, officially threw its weight behind Trump. The group’s co-founder, Shalabh Kumar, and his wife donated nearly $900,000 to the Trump Victory Fund because they liked the businessman’s “tough words for Pakistan” and his views on “Muslim profiling,” according to The Hill.

also, look again at the title of the article:

There’s one group of minority immigrants in the US that is surprisingly pro-Trump

looks like your sistah sapna's obsession with p711's stats is rubbing off on you, as seen in your delusional insertion of large in your ~~tit...err~~..title Wink

the title of the article is intended to mislead. here is the bottomline which the article admits to, but buried deep in the article:

Instead, their support for the candidate has to do with “cultural preferences, a view of what America should be,” said Rothwell. His data show that most Indian-Americans are probably going to support Clinton. He found that 19% of people who are non-Christian, but still religious and Asian, support Trump, compared with 40%, who support Clinton.

the photograph in the article is also intended to mislead. it does not show indian americans, but indians in india, particularly hindutva-vadis who are holding up drumpf's picture. i am not sure what the bhagavad gita has to do with the sena or their support for drumpf, but this is par for the course for bajrang balis. their support for drumpf very likely derives from their shared hatred of muslims.
