The South Asians living here, mostly from India,
Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, include more
than 3,000 families, excluding students, and are
quite diverse. They are multiethnic, multilingual,
and multireligious. They are widely scattered
across the six counties in and around Pittsburgh.
The majority of the South Asian families are from
India. They are mostly professionals (physicians
and surgeons, industrial researchers, management
professionals, and university teachers) and entrepreneurs
(IT, high technology, and traditional manufacturing).

The South Asians
began arriving in the U.S. (including Southwestern
Pennsylvania) in the mid-1960s as university students,
post-docs, and healthcare professionals. After their
studies and internships, many decided to stay. The
major national groups from South Asia have active
community associations.
