Hello. My name is Inderpal Singh Sarkaria. I am a graduate student at
the University of Pennsylvania. I am currently working on a project
comparing the general state of health and disease between first and second
generation Indian-Americans/South Asian-Americans. I am posting this
survey for any who are interested in offering their thoughts on the
matter.
You need not necessarily be first or second generation South
Asian-American to reply. This is a preliminary survey that is far from
comprehensive in any sense. I am looking to get a general feel of the
topic. All opinions are welcomed and appreciated.
Please send all replies to:
SARKARIA@a1.mscf.upenn.edu
(please do not post replies to the newsgroup)
For all who take the time to reply, I offer my sincere gratitude in
advance. Thank you.
