From the time of the wave of Asian Indians that came in the 1990's, some can say they have had nothing but success. Although they've had their fair share of struggles, Asian Indians have indeed experienced more than their fair share of success stories. In the 2008 Scripps National Spelling Bee, Sameer Mishra became the sixth Asian Indian winner in the last ten years alone. Not only this, but in 2005, the top four winners were all of Indian descent. Yes, Asian Indians are excellent in spelling bees, but they are topping many other fields in the United States as well. Three percent of the of the nation's engineers, seven percent of information technology (IT) engineers, and eight percent of doctors have an Indian background; keep in mind that only one percent of the population is actually Asian Indian.

Asian Indians are the models for an economically successful future in the United States. Because of higher levels of education and income, Indians are substantially less likely to be impoverished or in prison than those of other ethnicities. This might be the result of the fact that people emigrated from India, thousands of miles away, to come and settle in the USA. The result of this is people who have a hard work ethic; people who are full of hope and ambition; people who won’t settle for anything but the success of either themselves or their children. This want, or some may call it need, brings along a strong sense of desire for achievement and further leads to the heavy stress placed on the academics of their children.

In India, intelligence is one of the most highly valued qualities of a child. As people immigrated to the United States, this value has immigrated with them. On an IQ text delivered to children who have just arrived from India and children who are white and have already lived in the US, the average IQ of the Indian child was 112, while the average score of the white Americans was 100. This superiority in intellectual matters leads to a very influential group when it comes to economics. However, this power has not yet been translated to the political fields of the United States. This under representation is not unusual, since not many Asian Indians decide to follow a career in the political side of the spectrum.

The Asian Indian minority has been proven to be an economic and social prowess, and as we move into future years, this leadership in many fields can only grow.
