Résumé: | Often called a “model community,” Indian Americans have taken root in American society. Indian American Christians have seen the United States of America as their “promised land.” However, living in this promise land, Indian American Christians had to overcome challenges of racism, hate crimes, and different forms of discrimination. Through case studies, interviews, and participatory observations, this article will examine the impact of the Black Lives Matter Movement among Indian Christians living in the New York City Metro area. In doing so, this article seeks to identify reasons for the perceived silence among Indian American Christians and the work that is being done in everyday life for the healing of a nation. |
