  Spotlight: The South Asian Community
 

Click here for details about other PIttsburgh communities.

 


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.
