The Democratic Party Died For Me In 2008

I don't see me ever running for public office, ever! The issues that really get me - like global poverty - are global. And some of the best ways I could make an impact might be all digital.
I am a tech entrepreneur who would like to do good. I am a global citizen, a proud Indian.

Chris Rock is great. You have to understand that I really, really, really like comedy. I like a good laugh, what can I say! And Chris Rock is awesome. I'd put him right up there with Jerry Seinfeld in how funny I think he is, he is right there with Raju Shrivastav. Chris Rock is top of the line. He is really good at what he does.
The Indian action is in India. India is coming along, like China is coming along. If you ask me even Africa is coming along. In about five years Africa will be like China and India. As in, you will feel it. And Indians have it in tech. It is the IITs of India that made the dot com boom in America possible. Thank Nehru! Satya Nadella is just the icing on the cake. Sundar Pichai could take over Google any time. And there are Indians in the second rung of every major tech company. If you don't have Indians in strong positions, you are not a serious tech company.
But race is a powerful factor. "Race matters powerfully," Barack Obama said back in 2007. It is a factor.
Chris has a limited political vocabulary. Let me put it this way. He is not equipped to deal with the politics of race. But I am gathering a lot of facts from his article about race in Hollywood. It is not a pretty picture, and it needs to change. It is not just Ferguson. It is also Hollywood.

Budhanilkantha School is the national school of Nepal, and the ethnic composition of its student population was and is like the ethnic composition of the Nepal Army. The Terai faces internal colonization and that fact is reflected in all state machineries of the Nepali state.
We are the Indian origin people in Nepal. I am half Indian by birth. It is a sorry state a population as big, right next to the regional power India would be in some kind of a political blind spot.
I went through hell and high water to get to college in America. And I had a very happy freshman year. I got myself elected student body president within six months of landing as an international student in the Bible Belt Deep South. A few weeks into office, Berea College died for me during five minutes with Virgil Burnside.

Europe, Japan And Immigration

For its entire history, immigration has been America's number one strength. The president's recent positive step aside, Washington DC's hostility towards immigrants is a resolve to take America down the Japanese/European path.
