| Summary: | The writer explores the influence of the Indo-American community on transforming the historic hostile bilateral relationship between Washington and New Delhi. He demonstrates Indians in the U.S. have had a decisive role in changing perceptions of decision makers between two countries with limited contact and conflicting interests. He reports that the diaspora acts as a reservoir of support for New Delhi in Washington and is a major force in transforming Indian society by infusing new ideas as well as economic, human, and social capital from the U.S. Furthermore, he contends that its entrepreneurial success in America has also influenced Indian policymakers as they undertake economic reforms.
