Pravasi Herald

Editorial September 2010

Kusum Singh

Every once in a while communities take giant leaps forward in a very short period of time. Our Alabama Indian Communities have done just that in past year or two. New ideas are forming, new connections are happening.

Pravasi Herald is connecting people far and near, bringing communities closer and serving as the bridge for the mainstream Alabamians to Indian people, culture, and events. Let’s not be bashful about showing off our talents, achievements and heritage. This is our forum for expression.

India’s economy is burgeoning. Indians in US are making their mark in politics and entertainment as well. There is going to be an ever-increasing interest in all-things Indian.

Pravasi Herald will be expanding its features, frequency and coverage in other states in very near future. We are inviting all suggestions that can enhance your experience with Pravasi Herald.

We thank you for your readership!

Sincerely,

Kusum Singh

Editorial May 2010

We are a thriving, close-knit and forward-looking community. Pravasi is continually connecting people, creating ideas, profiling leaders, showcasing talents, and providing perspectives. Pravasi Herald’s guiding principle is to be “The Bridge to the Indian Community”.

With the globalization of the world and India emerging as a dominant economy and powerhouse of talent, Indian community will have a larger role to play. It is more important than ever that we involve mainstream into our cultural events and that we are more involved in mainstream organizations. We know it is the thing to do – we have taught our kids - our second generation is already doing it.

Dear Readers,
For Pravasi to be a reflection of happenings in all our communities and to get active participation from all the community members, Pravasi needs “Ambassadors” in as many communities as possible. If you would like to make a difference in your group or community by sharing its progress and giving it more visibility, we would love to have you as a “Pravasi Ambassador”. You can be the conduit of information to and from Pravasi. Please call me to discuss your interest and questions - 205-516-2797.

Editorial November 2009

In November we celebrate Nehru Ji’s Birthday who was India’s first Prime Minister for seventeen years.

Five decades ago, Nehru cautioned Members of Parliament discussing linguistic reorganization of states that an obsession with language would harm migrants. The reorganization of states on linguistic basis did happen in 1956 despite Nehru’s objections and reservations. Here is an excerpt from his speeches:
