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 />
