In contrast, there is more variation on the dimensions of region and caste. . However, the results point in the opposite direction. 35 While this might seem counterintuitive, this finding is explained by the fact that U.S.-born respondents are significantly more likely to identify as more American than Indian. In 2018, China accounted for 149,000 of the new immigrants entering the United States, followed by India (129,000), Mexico (120,000), and the Philippines (46,000). Immigrants convicted of a crime made up the less than half of deportations in 2018, the most recent year for which statistics by criminal status are available. According to data from the 2018 American Community Survey (ACS)which is conducted by the U.S. Census Bureauthere are 4.2 million people of Indian origin residing in the United States. There is no variation at all based on duration of stay in the United States. To what extent does the community exhibit signs of shared solidarity, and are there signs of division as the group grows in number and diversity? For more information, please refer to our Complete Comment Moderation Policy. The brightness of a country corresponds to its total migration to the U.S. at the given time. Around 21 percent express no opinion either way. To provide an accurate picture of the Indian American community as a whole, the full sample contains both U.S. citizens and nonU.S. Another way of examining respondents regional connections in India is to look at their linguistic backgrounds. Among immigrants ages 5 and older in 2018, half (53%) are proficient English speakers either speaking English very well (37%) or only speaking English at home (17%). In all 15 states except West Virginia the total population increased between 2010 and 2016. 2023 Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. This study relied on a nonrepresentative snowball sampling method to recruit respondents. Seventy-three percent of respondents believe that Asian Americans who are not of Indian origin face more discrimination than Indian Americans. 45 Carroll Doherty, Which Party is More to Blame for Political Polarization? For instance, do respondents feel more Indian than American, more American than Indian, equally Indian and American, or neither Indian nor American? Andrew Daniller and Hannah Gilberstadt, Key Findings About Voter Engagement in the 2020 Election, Pew Research Center, December 14, 2020, https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2020/12/14/key-findings-about-voter-engagement-in-the-2020-election/. The first, released in October 2020, explored the political attitudes and preferences of Indian Americans in advance of the November 2020 U.S. presidential election.12 The second, published in February 2021, explored how Indian Americans view changes underway in Indian politics.13, Indian Americans are the second-largest immigrant group in the United States.14. While 86 percent of Hindus report identifying with some kind of Indian identity, 71 percent of Christians and 52 percent of Muslims do the same. Hover over a state to get the total foreign-born population and double click on a state to get top county estimates. However, the study is not based on a representative sample, raising questions about the generalizability of its findings.29. Jonathan Kay is a James C. Gaither junior fellow in the South Asia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. By 2017, that number had declined by 1.7 million, or 14%. Texas, Washington, New York and California resettled more than a quarter of all refugees admitted in fiscal 2018. Responses are divided neatly into thirds when it comes to who is doing the discriminating: Indians, non-Indians, and people of both categories are almost equally to blame.49. Jonathan Kay is a nonresident research assistant in the Carnegie South Asia Program. How does this group perceive itself, and how does it believe others perceive it? Fifty percent of respondents who have been in the United States for ten years or less say that being Indian is very important to their identity, compared to 42 percent for those who have been in the United States for more than twenty-five years. Among Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents, 88% think immigrants strengthen the country with their hard work and talents, and just 8% say they are a burden. By contrast, more than half (57%) of immigrants who have lived in the U.S. for 20 years or more are proficient English speakers. To what degree do Indian Americans engage with American politics, their civic community, and Indian culture? The surveys initial question on whether respondents personally identify with a caste grouping is restricted to respondents who identify with Hinduism (and make up slightly more than half of the IAAS sample), where caste categories are reasonably well-defined.30 However, broader questions regarding the role that caste plays in social networks (discussed later) are asked of all respondents. Rankings only apply to origin countries that meet this criterion. The survey, drawing on both citizens and non-citizens in the United States, was conducted online using YouGovs proprietary panel of 1.8 million Americans and has an overall margin of error of +/- 2.8 percent. U.S. 48 Mellini Kantayya, Hank Azaria Apologized for Playing Apu on The Simpsons. I Accept, Washington Post, April 22, 2021, https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/04/22/hank-azaria-apologized-playing-apu-i-accept-i-appreciate-it/. 9 Nicole Hong and Jonah E. Bromwich, Asian-Americans Are Being Attacked. Furthermore, the earlier version of the chart incorrectly showed thepartialyear shares of Hispanic and Asian recent arrivals in 2015; the correctedcompleteyear shares are 31% and 36%, respectively. Douglas Farrar, Cliff Djajapranata, Fiona Garguilo, Jessica Katz, Laura Lucas Magnuson, Lori Merritt, Tim Martin, Jocelyn Soly, and Cameron Zotter contributed design, editorial, and production assistance. . There does appear to be some variation based on respondents religious identity (see figure 7). Americans were divided on future levels of immigration. Only adult respondents (ages eighteen and above) who identified as Indian American or a person of (Asian) Indian origin were able to participate in the survey. In 2017, the Trump administration deported 295,000 immigrants, the lowest total since 2006. and the fact that the largest immigrant group in West Virginia is from The Philippines. Since 1975, Koreans have ranked among the top 5 groups of . Motivated by their emotional ties to India, as well as their rights and responsibilities as American citizens, Indian Americans have pushed the U.S. government to mount a large-scale humanitarian response.54. Figure 30 provides the geographic distribution of survey respondents by state of residence. In order to be eligible to serve as a respondent for the IAAS, members of YouGovs panel must self-identify as a person of (Asian) Indian origin who resides in the United States. The differences are especially stark for Diwali and Indian Independence Day, where the gap between the two groups is on the order of 20 percentage points. In the 1820s, nearly 60,000 Irish immigrated to the United States. Figure 19 displays the responses to this question, collapsing five response categories into three for ease of exposition. 1) The term "immigrants" (or "foreign born") refers to people residing in the United States who were not U.S. citizens at birth. Formed in 2021, we provide fact-based, non-partisan news. Immigration has been a major source of population growth and cultural change throughout much of the history of the United States.In absolute numbers, the United States has a larger immigrant population than any other country in the world, with 47 million immigrants as of 2015. These top 20 metro areas were home to 28.7 million immigrants, or 64% of the nations total foreign-born population. 23 Americas Changing Religious Landscape, Pew Research Center, May 12, 2015, https://www.pewforum.org/2015/05/12/americas-changing-religious-landscape/. From 2009 to 2020, immigrants of Asian descent outnumbered those of Hispanic descent in terms of race and ethnicity. According to the data, the modal response of Indian Americans is that they weigh the two sides of their identity equally: 45 percent feel equally Indian and American. 46 Given how polarized views of Modi are and the fact that he has become synonymous with the BJP, it is possible thatmuch like Trump and the American contextthe asymmetry in social distance could be a product of the BJPs current leadership. The survey furthers asks respondents to assess whether they believe that domestic politics in India might be creating or exacerbating divisions within the Indian American community. What do the social networks of Indian Americans look like? 10 Anna Purna Kambhampaty, At Census Time, Asian Americans Again Confront the Question of Who Counts as Asian. May 3, 2016. The drop in the unauthorized immigrant population can primarily be attributed to more Mexican immigrants leaving the U.S. than coming in. The term net domestic migration describes the total number of people moving to a state from another state minus people moving to another state from that state. Chinese Americans are the largest Asian origin group in the U.S., making up 24% of the Asian population, or 5.4 million people. In addition, the survey asks respondents whether, in the last twelve months, they have personally felt discriminated against. This is a list of U.S. states and the District of Columbia by annual net migration. 13Sumitra Badrinathan, Devesh Kapur, and Milan Vaishnav, How Do Indian Americans View India? The population of immigrants is also very diverse, with just about every country in the world represented among U.S. immigrants. Overall, 19 percent of respondents report having a spouse who is not of Indian origin, but this is slightly more common among men (22 percent) than women (16 percent). These numbers are actually a lower bound of Indian Americans educational attainment. This represents 19.1% of the 244 million international migrants worldwide, and 14.4% of the United States' population. The survey instrument contains 157 questions organized across six modules: basic demographics; immigration, citizenship, and family background; presidential campaigns and voting; U.S. politics and foreign policy; culture and social behavior; and Indian politics. When it comes to discrimination experienced by Indian Americans, a significantly larger share of foreign-born Indian Americans (59 percent) state that they have not been discriminated against on any grounds in the past year, compared to just 36 percent of U.S.-born Indian Americans (see figure 27). Of course, many Indian Americansirrespective of citizenshipremain tied to India thanks to direct family connections. Milan Vaishnav is a senior fellow and director of the South Asia Program and the host of the Grand Tamasha podcast at Carnegie, where he focuses on India's political economy, governance, state capacity, distributive politics, and electoral behavior. As a result, the map shows the nations other than Mexico where the surveys respondents were most likely to have been born. But how Indian Americans choose to deploy this influence remains an open question. 24/7 Wall St. Educational attainment varies among the nations immigrant groups, particularly across immigrants from different regions of the world. (2022) By tidal93341. Vietnamese Americans are the largest Asian origin group by population in four states (Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Nebraska); Hmong Americans are the largest in Minnesota and Wisconsin; and Korean Americans are the largest in Alabama. (Respondents can select multiple choices from a preselected menu of options, so the percentages in the figure do not add up to 100.). First, as noted above, the data on caste identification is restricted to Hindu respondents. However, non-citizens and foreign-born citizens report nonparticipation at roughly twice the rate of U.S.-born citizens: 47 and 41 percent, respectively, compared to 22 percent of U.S.-born citizens. A quarter said legal immigration to the U.S. should be decreased (24%), while one-third (38%) said immigration should be kept at its present level and almost another third (32%) said immigration should be increased. where they are the largest immigrant group. The first part looks at three types of engagement: civic, political, and cultural. Table 2 presents results of the most common languages among respondents, restricting attention to languages identified by at least 2 percent of respondents. For Indian Americans, the past is not just a distant country. At Carnegie, we owe special thanks to Samuel Brase and Cooper Hewell for their editorial assistance. Reported discrimination based on country of origin and caste is roughly similar for both groups (around 1516 and 56 percent, respectively). While the former report that a slightly higher share of their social network comprises people of the same caste, if one sets aside the dont know responses, the relative differences between caste identifiers and non-identifiers is marginal. It covers five broad areas: citizenship and residency status; educational attainment; marital status; Indian region of origin; and religion, religious practice, and caste identity. New immigrant arrivals have fallen, mainly due to a decrease in the number of unauthorized immigrants coming to the U.S. This section provides a snapshot of the Indian American population in the United States, as captured by the IAAS. In 2018, most immigrants lived in just 20 major metropolitan areas, with the largest populations in the New York, Los Angeles and Miami metro areas. The low rate of political giving for non-citizens is expected given that non-citizens are forbidden from making political donations unless they are permanent residents (that is, they possess a green card). Immigrants from Mexico have the lowest rates of English proficiency (34%), followed by those from Central America (35%), East and Southeast Asia (50%) and South America (56%). Interestingly, among IAAS respondents, Diwali emerges as the most celebrated holiday63 percent of respondents report that they celebrate the Indian festival of lights (see figure 16). It focuses on three issues: membership in Indian American organizations, divisions within the Indian American community (and the drivers of those divisions), and the role the Indian American community plays in U.S.-India relations. Media reports about caste discrimination in the technology hub of Silicon Valleywhere a large number of Indian Americans are employedand a heated controversy over whether caste should be a part of history textbooks in the state of California have brought the issue to the forefront once more.28 A 2018 survey of 1,500 South Asian Americans found that many low-caste members of numerous diaspora communities had endured firsthand experience of caste discrimination. Forty-three percent report that some are, while 23 percent say that hardly any or none are. The data in figure 26 show that one in two Indian Americans reports being subject to some form of discrimination in the past year. Therefore, the sample size from which these percentages is derived is smalljust one-half of the overall IAAS sample. Figure 21 looks more closely at the caste composition of social networks among Hindus. This report examines the Hispanic population of the United States by its 10 largest origin groups. Respondents who acknowledge a caste identity are only slightly more likely to report that some of their social network is made up of people of the same caste (41 percent versus 33 percent for those without a caste identity). The matched cases and the frames were combined, and a logistic regression was estimated for inclusion in the frames. Around 337,000 immigrants were deported from the U.S. in fiscal 2018, up since 2017. How do Indian Americans relate to the Indian American community writ large. The backgrounds of children of immigrants' families vary by state and region. What are the demographic characteristics of Indian Americans? Independence Day (July 4) ranks second (57 percent), followed by Christmas (54 percent). Interestingly, while three-fourths of respondents identify with an Indian nomenclature, this masks exactly how that term is used. Interestingly, those born outside of the United States are most likely to say that they feel equally Indian and Americannearly one in two fall into this category (as do 38 percent of U.S.-born Indian Americans).35 A slightly higher share of U.S.-born Indian Americans (7 percent) than foreign-born Indian Americans (4 percent) claim that they feel neither Indian nor American. In addition to asking respondents about their religious identity, the survey also asks them about the role religion plays in their life. 51 Badrinathan, Kapur, and Vaishnav, How Do Indian Americans View India?. Milan Vaishnav is a senior fellow and director of the South Asia Program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Just 24 percent of Indian Americans who have lived in the United States between one and ten years identify as Indian American, compared to 41 percent of those who have been here for eleven to twenty-five years and 53 percent of those who have been here for more than twenty-five years. 24 Christine Tamir, Aidan Connaughton, and Ariana Monique Salazar, The Global God Divide, Pew Research Center, July 20, 2020, https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2020/07/20/the-global-god-divide/. The tool also displays the share that all immigrants comprise of the state's total population. 57 For the methodological intuition behind this approach, see Douglas Rivers and Delia Bailey, Inference From Matched Samples in the 2008 U.S. National Elections, Proceedings of the Survey Research Methods Section of the American Statistical Association 2009, http://www.asasrms.org/Proceedings/y2009/Files/303309.pdf. Forty-seven percent of Hindu respondents report identifying with a caste, which means the majority (53 percent) said that they do not personally identify with a caste group of any kind. Nearly one in two respondents (45 percent) report discussing politics in the past yearby far the most common activity. Indian Americans who are born in the United States are more likely to identify as Indian American (48 to 40 percent) and markedly less likely to identify as Indian (just 11 percent compared to 33 percent of foreign-born Indian Americans). The October 2020 IAAS study found that Indian Americans who identify as Democrats rate the Republican Party and former president Donald Trump very unfavorably.44 Republicans, for their part, view the Democrats, current President Joe Biden, and Vice President Kamala Harris in equally unfavorable terms. The reverse is true when it comes to identifying as Indian: the majority of Indian Americans who have lived in the United States between one and ten years (54 percent) feel most comfortable with this term, while that share declines to just 21 percent for those here for more than twenty-five years. Thirty-one percent respond that it is a major problem, 53 percent believe it is a minor problem, and a small minority (17 percent) believe it is not a problem at all. Thirty-one percent state that they feel more American than Indian and 19 percent state the conversethat they feel more Indian than American. The modal responseselected by 38 percent of respondentsis that some of their friends are of Indian origin. Religious affiliation too correlates with ones feelings toward their Indian identity. After all, for more than two decades, the Indian diaspora in the United States has been a critical bridge-builder between the two countries.52 But with divisions in the community more apparent and increasingly linked to political disputes in India, we have suggested elsewhere that the diasporas unity of purpose could suffer a setback.53. The smaller the size of a given group, the fewer opportunities individuals have of meeting someone from their same group. She holds a PhD in political science from the University of Pennsylvania. Another 6 percent were born in either Bangladesh or Pakistan. Among immigrants ages 5 and older, Spanish is the most commonly spoken language. Check your email for details on your request. It Depends on the Measure, Pew Research Center, June 17, 2014, https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2014/06/17/which-party-is-more-to-blame-for-political-polarization-it-depends-on-the-measure/. Figure 4 unpacks this further and looks at three categories of spouses or partners: Indian origin but born in India; Indian origin but born in the United States; and non-Indian origin. As with political parties in the American context, there is a certain degree of asymmetric polarization as far as supporters of the Congress and the BJP are concerned, although both groups are generally more hostile toward supporters of the opposing Indian party than is true in the analogous case of Republicans and Democrats (see figure 24). Differences exist state-to-state in the proportion of people born outside of the U.S. This section explores how Indian Americans view the subject of their own identity. This study is the third in a series on the social, political, and foreign policy attitudes of Indian Americans. Hindus who recently arrived in the United States are just as likely to identify with a caste group as those who have been here for a quarter-century or more.31. 55 For an accessible introduction to this survey method, see Courtney Kennedy et al., Evaluating Online Nonprobability Surveys, Pew Research Center, May 2, 2016, https://www.pewresearch.org/methods/2016/05/02/evaluating-online-nonprobability-surveys/. Overall, Hindi is the most common mother tongue (19 percent), followed by Gujarati (14 percent), English only (10 percent), and Telugu (10 percent)the latter is the primary language of the southern states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.22 Eight percent of respondents report Tamil as their mother tongue, while 7 percent apiece report Punjabi or Bengali. Among all immigrants, those from South Asia (71%) were the most likely to have a bachelors degree or more. The US is a nation of immigrants from all around the world. Immigrants are projected to drive future growth in the U.S. working-age population through at least 2035. India tops that list in 21 states. Hover over a state to view the total number of immigrants and their top region of birth. 8 See, inter alia, Thenmozhi Soundararajan, A New Lawsuit Shines a Light on Caste Discrimination in the U.S. and Around the World, Washington Post, July 13, 2020, https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/07/13/new-lawsuit-shines-light-caste-discrimination-us-around-world/; and Yashica Dutt, The Specter of Caste in Silicon Valley, New York Times, July 14, 2020, https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/14/opinion/caste-cisco-indian-americans-discrimination.html. On the contrary, India continues to exist in the present as it influences the lives of the diasporaeven as its members chart a new path in their adopted home. One of the questions asks respondents what their country of birth is. Overall, the Obama administration deported about 3 million immigrants between 2009 and 2016, a significantly higher number than the 2 million immigrants deported by the Bush administration between 2001 and 2008. The main sample was matched to a frame corresponding to all adult Indian Americans, and the oversample was matched to a frame corresponding to Indian Americans ages eighteen to twenty-seven. Religious differences, in particular, have emerged as a salient divide both in India and among members of the diaspora. Only 26 percent of Hindus who do not identify with a caste respond to questions about the caste composition of their social networks by answering dont know. This indicates that even though a large proportion of Hindu respondents say they do not identify with a caste, only a small fraction are unaware of the caste composition of their networks. She studies misinformation, media effects, and political behavior and employs survey and experimental methods in her work. True False True Mexico is the top origin country of the U.S. immigrant population. White immigrants to America, 80 percent . These are not merely academic questions. In that sense, the currents coursing their way through the Indian diaspora are perhaps reflective not only of broader developments in American society but alsoand perhaps even to a greater extentthe turbulence afflicting India. There is also important variation by ones religious identity. As one might expect, both Hindus and Muslims are overwhelmingly comfortable having close friends who share their faith: 97 percent of Hindu respondents report being very or somewhat comfortable having close Hindu friends, and 96 percent of Muslims report the same. Eight out of ten respondents say they have a spouse or partner of Indian origin (ranging from 85 percent of foreign-born respondents to 71 percent of U.S.-born respondents). Among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, 41% say immigrants strengthen the country, while 44% say they burden it. Several interesting patterns emerge from this breakdown. Indeed, the survey finds that in counties with more Indian American households, respondents are significantly more likely to say their social networks are dominated by fellow Indian Americans (see figure 17).39 This effect appears to be roughly linear, although there is a steep rise once more than 5 percent of households in a county are Indian American. The length of ones stay in the United States also plays an important role in shaping self-identification. The Census Bureau pooled together survey responses from between 2013 and 2017, allowing the bureau's statisticians to publish estimates of how many people in the foreign-born populations of each state and the District of Columbia came from various countries. And, finally, 5 percent of all respondents report having encountered discrimination due to their caste identity. The largest origin group of refugees was the Democratic Republic of the Congo, followed by Burma (Myanmar), Ukraine, Eritrea and Afghanistan. In the same exchange, Biden later added: One of the reasons why were such an incredible country is were such a diverse country. From the 1820s to the 1840s, approximately 90 percent of immigrants to the United States came from Ireland, England, or Germany. Pew Research Center estimates indicate that in 2065, those who identify as Asian will make up some 38% of all immigrants; as Hispanic, 31%; White, 20%; and Black, 9%. 6 Estimates of the Unauthorized Immigrant Population Residing in the United States: January 2015-January 2018, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, January 2021, https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/immigration-statistics/Pop_Estimate/UnauthImmigrant/unauthorized_immigrant_population_estimates_2015_-_2018.pdf. There were 10.5 million unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. in 2017, accounting for 3.2% of the nations population. This is identical to the share of all Americans who report attending services at least once a week, based on a 2020 Pew survey.25 Forty percent, the modal category, of Indian Americans report attending religious services once or twice a month or just a few times a year. More than 1 million immigrants arrive in the U.S. each year. Taken together, more than three-quarters of Indian Americans place a high value on their Indian-ness. Around 22 percent state that their Indian identity is either somewhat or very unimportant.32. Both U.S.- and foreign-born Indian Americans report significant discrimination based on skin color35 percent and 27 percent, respectively. Nineteen percent of them are not comfortable having close friends associated with the BJP. Foreign-born Indian Americans are much more likely to commemorate Diwali, Holi, and Indian Independence Day than respondents born in the United States. By 2055, Asian immigrants are expected to overtake Hispanics as the largest immigrant group in the United States. It appears that respondents social networks are more homogenous in terms of religion than either region or caste. This final section examines how respondents relate to the Indian American community. While this does not necessarily mean that two-thirds of Indian Americans are disconnected from their community, it does suggest that formal participation is somewhat limited. Report.

This margin of error is calculated at the 95 percent confidence interval. Second, given the presence of SCs among some non-Hindu religious groups, it is likely that the absolute number of SCsif not the percentagein the IAAS sample is higher. You are leaving the website for the Carnegie-Tsinghua Center for Global Policy and entering a website for another of Carnegie's global centers. Many respondents are between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five and, thus, are plausibly in the middle of their educational training. 28 Dutt, The Specter of Caste in Silicon Valley; Jennifer Medina, Debate Erupts in California Over Curriculum on Indias History, New York Times, May 4, 2016, https://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/06/us/debate-erupts-over-californias-india-history-curriculum.html. The variation in respondents feelings of Indian-ness begs the question of how Indian Americans navigate multiple identities linked both to their country of origin as well as their country of settlement. To produce the final data set, respondents were matched to a sampling frame on gender, age, and education.
