Pakistani Diaspora Among the World's Largest

[American Pakistani]

So, its like Pakistanis prefer to shift with their entire family,altogether?
I would personally like to keep my ties with my country intact,and would like my family to be a part of my culture.

Again your post makes no sense, i give you one example most Pakistanis in US are immigrants sponsered by their relatives, so in immigration your whole family has to immigrate & live in US for certain amount of time to become American national.

In another post you said most are from H1b, now saying sponsored by relatives.

Do you know what is H1b and how to get it.

 

[American Pakistani]

I doubt that, I am yet to meet a person from Pakistan with H1b. But every time I return from airport cab driver is Pakistani.
and also if I want buy chicken, the helper in the store is again pakistani.

Keep doubting, good for your health. # of my own relatives are in US with H1B. Surprisingly it's opposite here, whenever i call a cab driver is Indian, when i was new i thought cab driving companies only hire indians. Also whenever i go dunkendonuts or any other fast food store, always i found the guy to be Indian.

Most indians you meet are very humble passive people, some are very nice people.

It's because after Mexicans they are the biggest source of illegal immigrants.

Surge of immigrants from India baffles border officials in Texas
Thousands from India have entered Texas illegally from Mexico in the last year. Most are Sikhs who claim religious persecution at home.

February 06, 2011|By Richard Marosi and Andrew Becker

Reporting from Harlingen, Texas — Thousands of immigrants from India have crossed into the United States illegally at the southern tip of Texas in the last year, part of a mysterious and rapidly growing human-smuggling pipeline that is backing up court dockets, filling detention centers and triggering investigations.

The immigrants, mostly young men from poor villages, say they are fleeing religious and political persecution. More than 1,600 Indians have been caught since the influx began here early last year, while an undetermined number, perhaps thousands, are believed to have sneaked through undetected, according to U.S. border authorities.

Most of the immigrants say they are from the Punjab or Gujarat states. They are largely Sikhs who say they face religious persecution, or members of the Bharatiya Janata Party who say they are targeted for beatings by members of the National Congress Party.

On Indians

Education

According to the American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin, there are close to 35,000 Indian American doctors.[22] According to the 2000 census, about 64% of Indian Americans have attained a Bachelor's degree or more.[23] (compared to 28% nationally, and 44% average for all Asian American groups). Almost 40% of all Indians have a master’s, doctorate or other professional degree, which is five times the national average.[19] Among Indian Americans, 72.3% participate in the U.S. work force, of which 57.7% are employed in managerial and professional specialties.[24]

Economics

According to the 2000 U.S. Census, Indian American men had "the highest year-round, full-time median earnings ($51,094)", while Indian American women had a median income of $35,173.[23]

Indian Americans own 50% of all economy lodges and 35% of all hotels in the United States, which have a combined market value of almost $40 billion.[25] In 2002, there were over 223,000 Asian Indian-owned firms in the U.S., employing more than 610,000 workers, and generating more than $88 billion in revenue.[26]

India population is 7 times of Pakistan. But Diaspora is only 4.25. Hence, Pakistanis are much more desperate to leave their country. Almost 75% more than India.

.................

Well, it could also mean that Pakistanis have better skills sets that are in more demand, hence the proportionally great percentages being successful abroad!

Not necessarily Pakistanis from up North don't do well, but down South Pakistanis do as well as anybody.

Mixed emotions about our diaspora , though they contribute to our economy , the sooner India develops the better for them.


by the way ,why are people taking potshots at professions of people , job is a job.

Stats dont lie look at Uk Census and see the figures most Pakistanis live in East London which is not the best of areas

My experience is different. I see that most taxi drivers, 711 workers, gas station attendants, liquor store clerks and newsstand sellers in the United States are Indian....and it's not surprising given that there are a large number of legal and illegal Indian immigrants in US.

Even Hilary Clinton once joked about it saying "He (Gandhi) ran a gas station down in St. Louis.”

Statistics are a double edged sword, they can be manipulated in anyway if you know how to.
