Indians form Republican Hindu Coalition

[Vosem]

I don't really have much to add to this discussion since I am not Hindu myself and can offer only anecdotal evidence, but all I can say to this is that one of my closest friends is a Republican and Hindu (born in the US to parents who immigrated from India) and that being both doesn't seem to require any mental contortions for him. With that said, a large majority of Indians, both in my experience and in actual data, seem to lean Democratic, for two key reasons: a perception of the Republican Party as an "anti-science" party (which unfortunately to a significant extent it is) and a perception of the Republican Party as an "anti-brown" party (which of course it is not, but which it has been painted as quite successfully).
