Indian-American Bobby<br />

Jindal has taken a major<br />

step towards running<br />

for the White House in a<br />

decade of political highs<br />

for the community in the<br />

United States. The 43-year<br />

Louisiana governor, whose<br />

parents emigrated from the<br />

Punjab to America, launched<br />

a presidential exploratory<br />

committee on Monday,<br />

typically the first step<br />

towards such a run.<br />

Over the next few weeks,<br />

Jindal will explore the<br />

possibility of credibly<br />

joining an already crowded<br />

Republican field of some<br />

half dozen aspirants. He is<br />

expected to make a final<br />

decision after his state’s<br />

legislative session ends in<br />

mid-<strong>June</strong>.<br />

‘’For some time now, my wife Supriya and<br />

I have been thinking and praying about<br />

whether to run for the Presidency of our<br />

great nation,’’ Jindal said in a statement.<br />

‘’If I run, my candidacy will be based on the<br />

idea that the American people are ready<br />

to try a dramatically different direction.<br />

Not a course correction, but a dramatically<br />

different path.’’<br />

If he does join the race, Jindal will be the first person<br />

of Indian origin to formally run for President at a<br />

time the political star of the community is on the<br />

rise. Indian-Americans are also poised to have the<br />

first Senator from the community next year when<br />

Democrat Kamala Harris is a hot favorite to win the<br />

seat vacated by Barbara Boxer. Harris’ mother, Dr<br />

Shyamala Gopalan, was south Indian and her father,<br />

Prof Donald Harris, a Jamaican.<br />

To run for the White House, Jindal will first have to win the Republican nomination in a field that is already<br />

packed with aspirants who have already declared their candidature. Among them are Senators Ted Cruz<br />

(Texas), Rand Paul (Kentucky) and Marco Rubio (Florida), former Governor Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, and for<br />

HP CEO Carly Fiorina. Four other Republican governors have also formed exploratory committees or similar<br />

groundwork to assess their chances - Jeb Bush (Florida), Chris Christie (New Jersey) John Kasich (Ohio), and<br />

Scott Walker (Wisconsin).<br />
