    THREE INDIAN-AMERICANS AND 3 INDIANS NAMED AS FELLOWS BY AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR METALS

    SACRAMENTO, CA (TIP): Three Indian-Americans and as many persons from India are among 29 people, who have been named as Fellows this year by the American Society for Metals, for their contributions in the field of materials science and engineering.

    The Indian-Origin Fellows are Pranesh Aswath, Suveen Mathaudhu, Muthukumarasamy Sadayappan – while the achievers from India are – Pradeep Goyal, Vivekanand Kain, and Gankidi Madhusudhan Reddy.

    Aswath is a professor and associate dean for the University of Texas at the Austin College of Engineering. He was selected for his significant contributions to the science of tribology through establishing fundamental relationships between lubricant additive chemistry, tribofilm formation and friction and wear.

    Mathaudhu is an assistant professor at U.C. Riverside. He was selected for his scientific leadership, management, and advocacy of the U.S. Army materials research efforts, and in particular for the development and support of new advanced lightweight metals and bulk nanostructured materials.

  • Indian Consul General Mulay Rings Nasdaq Closing Bell on Independence Day

    Indian Consul General Mulay Rings Nasdaq Closing Bell on Independence Day

    NEW YORK:  India’s Consul General Dnyaneshwar Mulay invited American individuals and companies to join Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s flagship projects ‘Make in India’ and ‘Digital India’ as he, accompanied by Bollywood star Arjun Rampal, rang the closing bell at Nasdaq to celebrate India’s 69th Independence Day.

    Mr Mulay and Mr Rampal visited the Nasdaq market site in Times Square in New York yesterday to ring the traditional Closing Bell.

    This was the sixth year that India’s Consul General rang the closing bell at the Nasdaq stock exchange to commemorate the country’s independence day.

    Mr Mulay underlined the “growing thriving relationship” between India and the US.

    He said India’s economy is rapidly transforming and requires huge investments across various sectors.

    “Prime Minister Modi has initiated a number of reforms and flagship projects like Digital India, Make in India, Clean India and the Smart cities program,” he said.

    “I want American people to join in this great economic reforms movement. I also want more and more Indian companies coming to America (and to) Nasdaq,” he said.

    Welcoming Mr Mulay and Mr Rampal, Nasdaq Senior Vice President Bob McCooey said there is no better place to celebrate India’s independence day than at Times Square, which is the “crossroads of the world.”

    Mr McCooey noted Nasdaq’s growing presence in India, “which is on its way to becoming a global powerhouse.”

    Referring to the “great entrepreneurship” and “fantastic companies” in India, he expressed hope that many more Indian companies will list at Nasdaq in the future.

    Currently five Indian companies are listed at Nasdaq and have a combined market capitalisation of USD 43 billion. These include MakeMyTrip.com, Rediff, Videocon d2h and Cognizant.

    “For us in Nasdaq, this has now become an annual event. This is the sixth time we have been honored with your presence here to celebrate the independence day,” Mr McCooey said amid huge cheers and applause from the large number of Indian-Americans who had gathered for the closing bell ceremony.

    Mr Rampal, dressed in a dark blue shirt and gray coat, tweeted after the bell ceremony, “Feeling super proud to be an Indian. Independence Day celebrations begin.”

    Mr Rampal will be the Grand Marshal at the 35th India Day Parade tomorrow that will run through several streets in the heart of Manhattan.

    Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra will be the Guest of Honour at the parade, which will also be attended by cricketer Virendar Sehwag.

    Nasdaq’s giant screen in Times Square extended a warm welcome to Mr Rampal, with the words “Nasdaq welcomes Arjun Rampal” displayed on it along with the Emblem of India.

    Commemorating the country’s independence day, flag hoisting ceremonies will be held at the Consulate as well as at the Permanent Mission of India to the UN’s premises.

  • The 68th Anniversary of India’s Independence

    The 68th Anniversary of India’s Independence

    India’s Independence Day belongs to all Indians and all people who wish India well. As an American proud of my Indian ancestry, and my name unchanged, I am more than merely delighted that these United States and India have found a durable rhythmic tune, geopolitical and strategic in nature, bound by common notes and dreams of our bilateral citizenry in their enlightened self-interest-based pursuit of happiness guaranteed by separated powers regimes.

    2015 is special for many reasons. We overcame the unexpected bilateral pain that became known as the Devyani incident with Hours of Immunity successfully negotiated by FM Salman Khurshid with Secretary John Kerry, to then witness PM Modi rock Madison Square Garden. Later, as I wished, President Barack Obama held a Chai Summit in India. But, then it got better. President Obama did for Indian-Americans and India what he did for Chinese-Americans and China – as he had appointed Gov. Gary Locke as our ambassador to China in 2011, in the past year he appointed Senate Leader Harry Reid’s right hand Richard Rahul Verma as our ambassador to India. For good measure, he also appointed talented diplomat Atul Keshap as our ambassador to Sri Lanka. Recently, Nisha Desai Biswal, Assistant Secretary of State for Central and South Asia, visited India’s Consulate General in New York to personally plant eternal-goodwill where Devyani used to be DCG. Such an act serves to repair even frayed feelings and is worthy geometrically – as there is an implied promise that all will be well between our two nations.

    That India produced a man such as Dr. Kalam – who rose to be India’s 11th President – an Indian Muslim – and who was so loved by Indians and who so loved India – seems to me to be a clarion call for all good people everywhere to stand up to religious oppression everywhere with humility-based good deeds that serve their nation above all else, and with respect for all faiths. Earlier, the world experienced the slaughter and splatter of precious ink at Charlie Hebdo – the home of cherished Voltaire who prodded many a monarch to better serve the public good – and Paris became Ground Zero for unity of all nations’ leaders walking arm-in-arm seeking tolerance of free speech as a “core” right and obligation of global citizenship. Dr. Kalam, methinks, singlehandedly well honored Mahatma Gandhi’s love for Muslim Indians, Christian Indians, Buddhist Indians, Jewish Indians and inter alia, Hindu Indians.

    68 years ago Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru rose to say these immortal words:

    “Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we shall redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance.”

    Dr. Kalam answered India’s Tryst With Destiny – excellence with humility, nation above religion, peace above war. India belongs to everyday Indians who recall the sacrifices made by so many to be a free nation, and live their lives as homage to those who sacrificed so much.

    That Indian Tea played a starring role in the Boston Tea party of 1773, and today India and United States find themselves in a vortex that cannot be denied – of unity of interest – one may be forgiven to say it was so decreed even by natural law without the need of being a Calvinist. May we continue to be worthy of God’s grace at the stroke of the midnight hour and every hour thereafter.”

  • Indian-American woman announces Congressional bid

    Indian-American woman announces Congressional bid

    WASHINGTON (TIP): Indian-American Mary Thomas, a government attorney in Florida, has said that she will run for the US Congressional elections in November 2016.

    If elected, Thomas, whose parents arrived in American from India in 1972, would be the first woman Indian-American lawmaker to be a member of the US House of Representatives.

    Born in Charleston, South Carolina, 37-year-old Thomas is a Republican. She is pitted against incumbent Gwen Graham of the Democratic Party, who wrested the Second Congressional District of Florida from Republican Steve Southerland in 2014.

    Thomas, a personal friend of Florida governor Rick Scott, told local media that she is hoping to create history by becoming the first Indian-American woman to be elected to the US Congress. So far only three Indian-Americans elected to the US Congress are Dalip Singh Saundh, Bobby Jindal and Ami Bera. From California, Bera is the only Indian American in the current Congress.

    “I’m a conservative Republican, a Christian, a wife, mother, and a lawyer. If elected, I would be the first Indian-American woman ever elected to Congress. This would truly be a historic event,” Thomas said during her campaign announcement in Florida last week.

    Thomas’s parents, Tom and Annie Thomas are physicians who immigrated from India in 1972.

  • Burglars Targeting Indian Americans – Texas Police

    Burglars Targeting Indian Americans – Texas Police

    After a burglary at the home of an Indian American in the US state of Texas, police fear that a notorious crime syndicate that primarily targeted people of Indian descent have resurfaced in the area.

    On July 17, two persons broke into the house in Plano, a city in Texas, through the back door – and in full view of a surveillance camera perched just above the back patio, the Dallas Morning News reported.

    Police fear that the home invasion past week could be the handiwork of a group of burglars notorious for targeting Indian-Americans last year.

    “These suspects might possibly be the Asian/Indian residential burglars that have hit in the past,” said David Tilley, spokesman for the Plano police.

    He, however, stresses that this is just a hunch, but one based on reliable intel.

    In December several people were arrested in connection with home invasions and a carjacking, where the victims were of Indian descent.

    The suspects in last year’s robberies were from Houston and Colombia.

    Mr Tilley said that “Houston has had repeated problems with this group” in the past.

    Mr Tilley said last week Irving Police reported “having a similar incident where the victim was [of] Asian/Indian decent (just as ours was).”

    “We have asked Irving police for further information and will update when they respond.”

    “We want to get the word out early even though this is our first suspected incident,” Mr Tilley said.

    “Again, this is just suspected at this time, and we have nothing to prove they are in fact this group, but we want to warn those who might be affected to stay alert.”

  • Jindal plays down Indian roots, faces online backlash

    Jindal plays down Indian roots, faces online backlash

    WASHINGTON (TIP): They could soon be calling him Boo-Boo Jindal. First, there was that creepy video of an ostensibly private – and orchestrated – family conversation about his Presidential run that was made public. Then Indian-Americans, the hyphenated-group that Jindal was formerly proud to belong to, twitted him on twitter with corrosive jokes.

    The Louisiana governor is being ridiculed and laughed out of the US Presidential election only hours after he announced his White House run.

    The video first: In what was meant to be a display of old-fashioned family values where important things are discussed at the family kitchen table, Jindal and his wife Supriya apparently wanted to let their three children know that he was running for President and life was about to get more hectic.

    ”Mommy and daddy have been thinking and talking a lot about this, and we have decided that we are going to be running for president this year,” Jindal solemnly tells the three children in a moment captured by a security camera mounted in a tree. ”We’re going to talk to you first and then you can’t go tell your friends,” he adds.

    No reaction from the kids. None. Nada. ”How do you feel about that?” Supriya Jindal asks. One son gives a quick two thumbs up, their daughter shrugs, and another son remains indifferent.

    Not exactly the kind of ringing endorsement daddy and mommy were expecting, but typical of young kids who may not always grasp outsized adult developments.

    But releasing the 90-second video on the campaign website (it has subsequently pulled it) to emphasize ”family values” brought even more pain – and ridicule.

    ”Bobby Jindal campaign gets off to strange start with ‘Paranormal Activity’ video,” sneered the Washington Post. Others described the effort as ”weird” and ”creepy,” questioning why anyone would publicize a private moment with children captured on a nanny-cam.

    It got worse after Indian-Americans, the ethnic group Jindal formerly was happy to belong to, got after him after he repeated his disdain for the tendency in U.S to hyphenate its population along ethnic lines, such as Indian-American, Irish-American, African-Americans. ”If we wanted to be Indians, we would have stayed in India,” Jindal had asserted before.
