Indian Woman Gets Elected as Governer of South Carolina

[IndiaGuy]

Creating history on many fronts Nimrata Nikki Randhawa Haley, 38, was elected as governor of South Carolina, one of the smaller and most conservative states in the United States.

Riding on a wave against the liberal policies of President Barrack Obama, and inspired and helped by the right wing Tea Party movement, led by leaders like Sarah Palin, former candidate for vice president, Haley, whose parents came from Amritsar in the 60s, trounced her Democratic opponent state Senator Vincent Sheheen.

She secured a total of 525,962 votes while her opponent managed 472,889 votes

It was a night of celebration for the Indian community in the US, which has a history of less than half a century as well as a number of less than one percent of the US population.

Yet, with the election of Haley, two of the members from the community became governors, two years ago Bobby Jindal in Louisiana and now Haley, both Republicans.

She does not consider herself as Indian woman. She comes from Sikh Family of Amratsir and she calls herself christian. Her parents gave her different name. She adopted American name.
Indianguy has all the rights to call her Indian woman if that makes him happy. After all, we all have feel good factors.

She was born and bought up there. There is nothing Indian about her other than the roots.
Wonder if she has ever visited India.

Correct title would have been American of Indian background elected Governor. She is naturally 100% American. It is nice to hear that people from Indian background doing good in USA. I bet she has a soft corner in her heart for India. When I travelled to west Indies I met some African looking ladies.I was surprised to find that They had Indian ancestors and loved India and still kept cultures, watched Hollywood movies etc. You always have soft corner and feeling for your birth place and for your ancestral land. Being a Christian doesn't change that, there are lots of Christians in India..

If you could explain that to Indianguy, he is quite excited about that.

You guys in India make fun of Sikhs and try your best to prove them stupid, your movies are best example of that. And now if daughter of Sikh family made an achievement and you are so quick to take all the credit. Just a thought.................
