Bobby Jindal's Win

Bobby Jindal won the Gubernatorial Poll in Louisiana,US making him the
first Indian-American to be elected Governor of a US state,the highest
post by an Indian in US.
I was happy when I heard this news,maybe because of I share my surname
with him,some sort of connection.We,Indians,always sentimental.His
achievement made me proud."One of us" has done it.Bobby(Piyush)
Jindal,son of Indian Migrants from Malerkotla,Punjab is a shining
example of that Great American Dream which millions have aspired for.
A whizkid,with great accomplishments at such an early age(he is just
36,youngest Governor of a US state),Bobby has held positions of
importance in the Govt earlier also.

Much will be expected of him though.Louisiana is the poorest state in US
with lowest development parameters after it was devastated by
Hurricanes-Katrina and Rita.It will be a challenge for him to
reconstruct the state.1/3rd of population is Non White Americans whose
support is usually with Democrats.

Another thing which I found was his extreme Social Conservative Ideology.

He is a staunch Catholic Follower(his conversion from Hinduism to Christianity at 18 is also questionable),is against abortions,gay marriages,is anti gun-control, is a

believer in the Ten Commandments,is against Hollowood and TV for spreading indecency.Hmm.. a long list.Whether he will be able to justify his election and put in action
such hard measures in the society is still to be seen.

From India's perspective,Bobby Jindal belongs to a party which has generally been against immigration.How he handles the core party policies and still creates a niche place for himself
vis a vis Indian Americans is yet to be seen

As for now,hats off to him for this great victory.
