I thought a strong and wealthy hindu community will be better placed to lobby with regards to policies and funding. Reliance is spending about million dollars a year for lobbying in US; now mukesh ambani has announced that he may not contribute this year (perhaps he is convinced that local indians can handle it now).

The survey was stressing the positive points of hindus in america; deepa iyer is into politics as her position demands. She is not contesting the data or the findings.

Anyway it is for the hindus of USA to take it or leave it.

“If we ignore the disparities within our communities in favor of a model minority narrative, then government agencies, philanthropic institutions and lawmakers may leave us out when designing programs, providing funding or changing policy intended to address pressing issues many Americans face,” stated Iyer."(en-quote)
