Are Indians the reason for US' global dominance?

The United States has risen to global supremacy for many reasons, but one of the most critical is its meritocracy. Regardless of race, religion, or nationality, those who demonstrate merit advance in fields like business, industry, education, and government. For instance, Barack Obama, the son of a Kenyan, served as president for eight years—proof of merit prevailing over race.

A shining example of this is the significant number of Indian-origin professionals excelling in the U.S.

Indian-origin professionals are key players in United States' corporate and technology sectors. Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet (Google's parent company), grew up in a modest home in India and worked his way to the top. Similarly, Satya Nadella leads Microsoft, while Arvind Krishna heads IBM. Ajay Banga, now President of the World Bank, and Shantanu Narayen, CEO of Adobe, also exemplify this trend.

These leaders’ backgrounds are diverse, often from middle- or lower-class families, but their talent and hard work earned them top roles. America's merit-based system, where qualifications matter more than race or religion, has enabled these individuals to flourish, further contributing to the country's success.

No one can deny that these individuals are highly skilled, qualified professionals. Through these CEOs, relations between New Delhi and Washington have improved, and India has successfully attracted U.S. investments.

However, the reality remains that the United States has established a transparent system where one law applies to everyone, where barriers to merit are not erected, and where capability is respected. Qualified professionals are saluted, regardless of their religion or nationality, and equal rights and opportunities are available for all who seek success.
