So we made it ourselves — despite every label meant to hold us back. Stop Indian Hate is student-run, but the work is real, and so is the community behind it.
Born in India and raised in the United States since the age of eight, I'm a proud Indian American — committed to my heritage, to my country, and above all to the principle that no one should have to sacrifice their values to prove their patriotism. I live in San Jose, California. Beyond this work, I compete in Speech & Debate, play cricket, and write about the social issues I care about most.
My parents are both immigrants from Kerala who came to the United States before I was born, so this country is the only home I've ever known. I'm a rising junior from Danville, California, and I'm passionate about justice reform and equity — the idea that a fair shot shouldn't depend on where your family comes from. In my free time, I enjoy playing sports with my friends and going on runs.
