Abstract | Dr. Bapat was born in India and emigrated to the U.S. in 1964. She was eager to tell the history of Indian immigration to the United States, what it was like for her to be a newly arrived emigrant, and about the thriving Indian community in Cary and Morrisville today. Through this interview, she hopes to dispel some of the stereotypes about her people and about immigrants in general. She also wishes to educate Americans about Indian values, and culture, and to point out the huge contributions Indians have made and continue to make in America. |
