- For American Indians see Native Americans in the United States or Indigenous peoples of the Americas.
An Indian American (also called Asian Indian to contrast with the "American Indians" so named by historical accident) is commonly a resident or citizen of the United States who has ancestry originating in India. Indian Americans were primarily either born in India and immigrated to the United States or were born in the United States and have Indian ancestry. A number of Indian Americans came to the U.S. via Indian communities in other countries such as Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Fiji, UK, Trinidad & Tobago, South Africa, Guyana, Mauritius, etc. Most Indian Americans are Hindus by religion, but there are also Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Jains, Buddhists, Parsis and Jews among them. They often refer to themselves as "Desi" (of the Desh, or motherland aka India) or sometimes as "brown".
The U.S. Census of 2000 counted 1.679 million people in the category "Asian Indian", accounting for 0.60% of the total U.S. population. This was an increase of 105.87% from the U.S. Census of 1990 with annual growth averaging 7.6%, the largest growth in the Asian American community. In 2000, Indian Americans comprised 16.4% of the Asian American community, making them the third largest subgroup of Asian Americans, after Chinese Americans and Filipino Americans. *
