EDISON, N.J. -- The train station billboards tell it all.

Local travel agents promise the best airfares from New York to Mumbai. Shagun Fashions is selling dazzling Indian saris. And DirecTV offers "the six top Indian channels direct to you."

Roughly every third person who lives Edison, a New York suburb, is of Asian Indian ancestry. Many are new immigrants who have come to work as physicians, engineers and high-tech experts and are drawn to "Little India" by convenience - it's near the commuter train - and familiarity.

Here they can "get their groceries and goods from home," says Aruna Rao, a mental health counselor who lives in town.

1. I am glad Indian immigrants could have their "little India"...

We have "little Italy", and "China Towns" in every city in the US...why not "little India", too?
