About this series
Within a few generations, the children and grandchildren of Indian migrants have reached the very top of politics — in the West, and across the old indenture colonies. This series profiles them.
It is a map of arrival, not a scorecard of policy: how a diaspora that often began with nothing produced the people who now govern other nations.
