How South Asians are redefining the American dream
South Asian Americans are one of the fastest-growing ethnic groups in the United States.
NEW YORK - South Asian Americans living in the New York area and across the country walk the fine line between assimilation and maintaining ancestral cultural identity. It s redefining the American dream by removing limitations on what it can mean. For millions of people around the country and around the world, we essentially bridge the gap between our two identities, Trisha Sakhuja-Walia, the CEO and co-founder of Brown Girl Magazine, told FOX 5 NY. I know for a fact that I ll never just be American, and I will never just be Indian.

‘untold: defining moments of the uprooted’ is a collection of short stories about the experiences of the South Asian diaspora. Written by an intergenerational group of storytellers from the US, UK and Canada, it spotlights the diaspora’s challenges, including the shared feeling that they neither belong to their adopted homeland nor the place they left behind.
Each creative nonfiction essay in the anthology explores a defining moment in the author’s life. Touching on subjects such as racism, caste, immigration, colourism, addiction or suicide, they narrate stories that are often “left untold” in the larger South Asian community.
