Thank you so much for reading the article. You are so right about the contributions of Indian people in so many aspects of life in the United States. The people in the article were suggested to me by a researcher at the World War I Museum in Kansas City. Each one is a wonderful example of how people can create a great life for themselves in this country.
And thank you, too, for mentioning Swami Vivekananda. You have given me someone else to look into.
All best,
Kate
