Indian American President Possible in 10 years..
 January 7: IndieeNews: It may sound fantastic now, but Jay Goyal, a 27-year-old legislator from Ohio, is confident that an Indian American will be in the race for the US presidency in another 10 years or so. ‘Within 10-12 years, you can expect an Indian American to be in the US presidential race. I won’t be surprised when it happens,’ Goyal, who is in India to catch up with his friends and extended family, told IANS in an interview here. ‘It’s a matter of time. It’s going to happen,’ the dapper Goyal, who has been hailed as a new emerging face of the Democratic Party, said when asked whether Indian Americans are ambitious enough to covet the top job in the US. ‘With the second generation of Indian Americans, there will be a significant increase in the number of young members of the community proactively participating in US politics,’ he said while referring to the spectacular success of Bobby Jindal, who won the election on a Republican platform to become the governor of Louisiana last year. |
