THE EDITORIALS

A historic event for the Indian-American community in Atlanta
December 2012 - Prompt and professional service is a two-way street. Even the best staff can be rendered ineffective when dozens of people call daily to ask questions that are answered on the website or forms.

Seeing Through the Myths
October 2012 - An editorial favoring Barack Obama—followed by a counter opinion column endorsing Mitt Romney by Sadanand Dhume, a resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.

September 2012 - Why the GOP is as incompatible with the Indian-American community as the Democratic Party is with fundamentalist Christians.

Celebrating Our Freedoms in America
July 2012 - Activist Harsh Mander opined that a democracy should be judged not just by how much it upholds the will of the majority, but also by how it treats its minorities. The Indian-American community in the U.S. is quite anxiety-free.

February 2012 - Many Indian-Americans isolate ourselves from the culture of our adopted homeland. Our new column, Americana, will shed some light on regional American character, translating American culture for Indian sensibilities.

Mission Impossible in Mumbai? Hope not.
January 2012 - The stench and filth in most parts of Mumbai is overwhelming, but seems blissfully immaterial to the locals, to whom glamour seems more interesting. Can we see that our lifestyle is inextricably linked to the underclass, that we can’t compartmentalize the city?

When Parochialisms Collide
December 2011 - We heard the parochialism of a state senator criticizing his governor and political rival for participating in a Hindu ceremony--but the incident also pointed out that Hindus' push to combine business with ceremony can be inconsiderate.

How Things Change!
November 2011 - Remember early immigrants' fears of losing their traditions, that they'd have to eat mashed potatoes and black-eyed peas forever? Thanks to the technological revolution and our global village, the tables have turned--and our young people are turning to their spiritual roots!
