Indians in the US
Establishing Roots, Engendering Awareness: A Political History of Asian Indians in the United States
by Vinay Lal
[Published in Live Like the Banyan Tree: Images of the Indian American Experience, ed. Leela Prasad (Philadelphia: Balch Institute for Ethnic Studies, 1999):42-48.]
The first significant presence of Indians in the United States can be traced to exactly one hundred years ago, when peasants from the province of Punjab began appearing on the west coast, seeking work in Washington’s lumber mills and California’s vast agricultural fields. Though predominantly Sikhs, they were described in the popular press as “Hindus”; and almost from the outset they were seen as inassimilable, possessed of “immodest and filthy habits”, the “most undesirable, of all the eastern Asiatic races . . .” In 1907, Asian Indians were the victims of a racial riot in Bellingham, Washington, and henceforth concerted attempts would be made by the Asiatic Exclusion League and other associations to prevent further immigration from India into the United States and to restrict the capacity of those already in the country to own property. In these circumstances, the new immigrants, whose difficulties were compounded by their high illiteracy

Introduction
Varun Jean-Jacques Rousseau is a pivotal figure in the history of philosophy, both for his contributions to political philosophy and moral psychology and for his effect on subsequent thinkers.
Rousseau considered most philosophy and philosophers as post hoc rationalizers of self-interest, apologists for various sorts of dictatorship, and contributing to the modern individual's separation from humanity's innate instinct for compassion. The overarching objective of Rousseau's work is to discover a means to preserve human freedom in a world where people are increasingly reliant on one another to meet their wants.
