From 1 to 100,000: The Pioneers, Pillars, and Milestones of the Atlanta Indian Community
Today’s massive, multifaceted community has its roots in less than a dozen college students in the 1960s. We trace the fascinating journey of Indians in Atlanta, from the time when remnants of segregation were still visible, through the days of the founding of IACA, to today’s proliferation of things Indian in Atlanta—Bollywood movies in AMCs and Regal Cinemas, Indian food isles in major supermarket chains, not to mention the 24/7 real-time connection to Indian media, entertainment, and a thousand other markers of the “Indianization” of Atlanta. Then, thanks to the committed efforts of Franklin Abbott, an Atlanta psychotherapist, writer, and musician, who volunteers in recording oral histories in the archives at Georgia State University, we now have a new South Asian collection in the GSU archives. Abbott has interviewed some South Asian pioneers of Atlanta: Dr. Kamla Dutt, Dr. Prateen and Vibha Desai, Drs. Bhagirath and Uma Majmudar, Dr. Sunaina Jain, and Sabiha Mujtaba. Read more »
