Indian-Americans should be politically more active: Keshkari

February 09, 2014 13:00

Running for California Governor election with the promise of creating jobs and providing good education, Neel Tushar Keshkari feels it is time that Indian Americans, who have made their presence felt in almost in every sphere, should be more active politically as well.

The 40-year-old Republican, son of Indian immigrants from Jammu and Kashmir, is likely to face incumbent Jerry Brown, who is yet to declare his candidature for re-election scheduled to be held later this year.

Keshkari, the architect of the US' bank bailout at the height of the 2008 recession, said the Indian-American community has made its presence felt in every sphere of life.
