One rarely hears bad news about Indians in the United States. In fact, one rarely hears about them in general. Recent studies have focused on communities that arrived from India, as they constitute a large number of the population and it turns out that the Indian community is one of the richest and the most efficient and influential.

The common image of the poor Indian man is the complete opposite of the image of Indians living in the United States, as it turns out that Indians there are one of the richest Asian immigrant communities. The yearly income is $88,000 per household.

The sweeping majority of them have university degrees and most of these degrees are in scientific majors. This is why they are among the best at getting hired and that is why they are better off. In addition, they are new immigrants, as two thirds of them are born outside the United States, so they are not like other deep-rooted groups such as the Jews and Europeans.

The secret to their success lies entirely in education. Poverty and the weak capabilities of the Indian government have not prevented the provision of quality education. This is why most of them attained the right to immigrate to a country such as the United States. They are given preference over immigrants from other countries because they specialize in fields required by the job market.

Therefore, they are granted residency, given jobs and they later attain American citizenship. Some Indians in the United States are now high-profile politicians as well. Men of Indian origin govern two US states and a candidate of Indian descent is running for the Senate post in California next year. More than 40,000 Indian immigrants work as doctors, as is the case in other vital fields.

The moral is that he who wants to overcome his circumstances and difficult times must pay full attention to education, and I mean quality education. Education is the only medical prescription we can agree on when it comes to social and economic solutions. Although all countries provide free public education, only a few of them provide quality education that produces people capable of developing their society.
