Imagine the plight these immigrants faced, colonized in their home country and then segregated again in America. I have met many desi's who have settled here, completely unaware that many of the liberties they take for granted, were only granted to them very recently.</p> This is truly a treasure trove for anyone interested in the history of South Asian immigration into the US.

These photos verify that, relative to the Americans of the time, these Indians were less fobby than the Indian emigres of today.</p> I’m amazed.

Hadn't heard of SAADA before. Having recently come across Tasveer Ghar (which is obviously not exactly the same), I'm happy to learn about something in the same ballpark that's about South Asian America(ns). For an all-volunteer project, they really seem to have gained a lot of steam... I know other (again, different) projects like the Kahani Movement or whatever, and Kavita Daiya's 1947partition.org, all seem to have fizzled out pretty quickly.</p> <p>Also, wanted to thank you for the previous post about Anika and the libraries. As a fellow library enthusiast, the video brought tears to my eyes, and the accompanying <i>Star</i> article was great. What a badass, so adorable, with a real sense of humor, too. Also couldn't help chuckle that she has the same bushy hair that I did at 14.</p> Wow, thanks for the interview. Hadn’t heard of SAADA before.
