Please read more about Bhagat Singh Thind. He is one of my favorite Desi-American writers.
Actually the racist American Court System took away his citizenship 2 times and finally, it went up to the Supreme Court, Bhagat got granted American citizenship a third time. He served in this country’s military and devoted to using NONVIOLENCE manner to fight against this injustice. It took 20 years but he eventually won the right for Desis to become citizens here. The racist judges kept taking away early Desi-Americans rights because they said even though historically, liguiatically, and scientifically we are Caucasian, we are from Asia so the racist Anti-Asian laws at that time apply to us.

On the topic of Aryans, many Desis, especially the Right-Wing super patriotic types don’t like that word and they deny the Aryan India Invasion Theory taught in the Western Countries. Back in India the education system denies this theory. Only after coming here and being exposed to the DNA evidence that I begin to think it might be true. In India the pundits even make fake DNA evidence to say India was never conquered by invaders. But being more liberal minded in education, I always asked my teacher weren’t the Mughals and the British invaders as well. He would get mad at me and give me bad marks. Desis don’t like the idea that white skinned people came over thousands of years ago and conquering us. This topic is VERY senstive so it is considered very rude to talk about it.
