Indians outside India are the largest
They have surpassed all the rest
They generally hold high posts
And work in all types of services.
Punjabis and Sikhs are everywhere
Gujaratis also appear here and there
Indians of other states sparingly seen
Their numbers may be lean.
Indian may be natives in America's
So we are called Asian Indians
Initially we may have come as slaves
We are now way up in the social faves.
Everywhere we see an Indian face
Be it a mall, train, bus or any place
But we don't smile at each other
Unlike others who greet one another.
There are indian restaurants
Spread all over the places
They meet cravings for indian tastes
Although less in spice on plates.
If the Indian food is not available
There are others equally capable
Chinese noodles are very popular
And Thai curry in particular.
For those vegetarian, options exist
Vegan dishes are in the midst
Only jain foods are unknown
They have to manage on their own.
Pakistanis also serve Punjabi dishes
Bangladeshis make up for others
Srilankans offer spicy coastal fare
They too have their share.
Asian Indians are now the favourites
They are now known for STEM works
They occupy most leadership posts
Will this sustain, one wonders.
