By:

| The overseas Indian population, excluding the South Indian subcontinent, in 2001 was estimated at 17 million. Indian Americans
constituted the second largest group, outside Mynamar and are now believed to have overtaken that country as well. The top 10 countries accounted for almost three quarter of all overseas Indians and just 25 countries for almost 95% of all overseas Indians.

America - India - Economic Partnership
Let us hope that President Obama & Prime Minister Singh can expand upon & deepen, with vigor, an ecomomic partnership of dimensions that will rival all Amerian-Chinese business dealings. It should be apparent that with 1.17 BILLION Indians & perhaps another 50 million Indians living abroad, an economic relationship will provide vast possibilities for both nations. Add as many nations where English is a secondary language & an Indian-American partnership will set the world afire, with benefits for both nations & peoples. China will always play games with outsiders. It's time to recognize that, & seek other strategies for 21st Century partnerships. Finally, India is a democratic nation, & China only dabbling with true democracy.
