Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla said that the Indian-American community in the US, especially the second generation, wants to be more involved in the American public sector.
"We are reaching a new phase where second generation Indian-Americans really see the value of being involved in the public sector and seeing the community in a broader way, not just the Indian community, but our community as Americans, and really integrating in a way that keeps us proud of our heritage, keeps us in remembrance of who we are as Indians, but also keeps us proud to be Americans along with really being a part of the American society. And an important part of that is being involved in the public sector and an important part of being involved in the public sector is running for elected office," Bhalla, who is currently running for Congress from New Jersey, told New India Abroad in an interview.
