Indian immigrants

South Asian arrivals

Indian immigrants are people who have moved from India to settle in another country.

The phrase describes both the migration itself and the community it creates: Indian immigrants have shaped Silicon Valley's tech industry, My grandparents were Indian immigrants who came here in the 1960s.

The term encompasses a vast diversity—India has dozens of languages, religions, and regional cultures, so Indian immigrants may share little beyond national origin.
