Decoding the diaspora: Milan vaishnav on what new data reveals about Indian Americans

What do Indian Americans actually think about identity, discrimination, and life in the United States? In the fourth episode of The Hyphen: Indian American Dialogues, host Sital Kalantry is joined by Milan Vaishnav of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace to decode the third wave of the Indian American Attitudes Survey. Together they explore the key findings from the research, including why reported discrimination rates remain persistently high, how some community members are quietly changing their behavior in response, and why U.S.-India relations rank lower on the priority list than many might expect. Milan also reflects on what three waves of survey data reveal about a community that continues to grow and evolve in ways that resist easy generalization. It is a rich, data-driven conversation for anyone who wants to understand Indian America on its own terms.
