Suburban Sahibs

SUBURBAN SAHIBS is a good book. The story is about Indian immigrants who come to America in search of a better life. The case studies that the author Mitra Kalita has done deals with 3 families in Edison NJ.

I am amazed at the accuracy of the author. While the author is of Indian origin she was brought up in the US yet she has done a good job portraying the emotions and the difficulties these families faced. The statistics of Indian immigration and the culture collected in this book is done well.
