This study is the third in a series on the social, political, and foreign policy attitudes of Indian Americans. The survey, drawing on both citizens and non-citizens in the United States, was conducted online using YouGov’s proprietary panel of 1.8 million Americans and has an overall margin of error of +/- 2.8 percent. Its findings are based on a nationally representative online survey of 1,200 Indian American residents in the United States-the 2020 Indian American Attitudes Survey (IAAS)-conducted between September 1 and September 20, 2020, in partnership with the research and analytics firm YouGov. This study draws on a new source of empirical data to answer these and other questions. She holds a PhD in political science from the University of Pennsylvania.

How do they respond to the dual impulses of assimilation and integration? And how might their self-conception influence the composition of their social networks? There is surprisingly little systematic data about the everyday social realities that Indian Americans experience. And despite the overall professional, educational, and financial success many Indian Americans enjoy, this has not inoculated them from the forces of discrimination, polarization, and contestation over questions of belonging and identity. Many Indian immigrants might have brought with them identities rooted in their ancestral homeland, while others have eschewed them in favor of a nonhyphenated “American” identity.


While the majority are immigrants, a rising share is born and raised in the United States. Today, Indian Americans are a mosaic of recent arrivals and long-term residents. As the number of Indian-origin residents in the United States has swelled north of 4 million, the community’s diversity too has grown. Indian Americans are the second-largest immigrant group in the United States.
