Good to visit my friend, Sujatha's blog after a long time..
Found this article of specific interest in the context of Indians living in the US.. More than 1.9 million Indian-born immigrants in the US.. we are the third-largest immigrant group here, after Mexicans and Chinese... Interesting!
There is a good deal of statistics and reports on the Indian immigrant community here..
Originally by Monica Whatley, Jeanne Batalova of Migration Policy Institute, this article reports on a wide range of characteristics of Indian immigrants residing in the United States, including the population's size, geographic distribution, admission categories, and demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. Data are from the US Census Bureau's 2011 American Community Survey (ACS), the 2000 Decennial Census (as well as earlier censuses), and the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Office of Immigration Statistics (OIS) (2012 data).

"The nearly 1.9 million Indian immigrants living in the United States in 2011 represented the third-largest immigrant group by country of origin, behind Mexico and China. The share of Indian immigrants among all foreign born in the United States grew from less than 0.5 percent in 1960 to almost 5 percent in 2011.
As a group, immigrants from India are better educated, more likely to have strong English language skills and arrive on employment-based visas, and are less likely to live below the federal poverty line than the overall foreign-born population....
In 2011, India was the second most common country of origin for international students at US institutions of higher learning, behind China.
Almost one-third of all Indian immigrants resided in just two states: California and New Jersey.
California had the largest number of Indian immigrants in 2011 (380,700 or 21 percent of the nation's nearly 1.9 million Indian born), followed by New Jersey (210,400, or 11 percent). Other states with Indian immigrant populations greater than 100,000 were Texas (162,400, or 9 percent); New York (145,400, or 8 percent); and Illinois (127,200, or 7 percent)."
