INDIAN
Community in North Texas
|
|
| Indian immigrants have thrived in North Texas because of the importance they place on education and their experience with democracy in their native country. Both of these elements promote cooperation and community effort, and participation in political life. North Texas Indian-Americans come from regional subcultures in India where a variety of languages flourish and bring these languages with them. More than 85 Indian cultural associations that encompass regional as well as artistic and religious organizations are active in the region. |
