State Chapters: New Hampshire
Welcome to USINPAC NH!
Here you will find information about the Indian-American community in New Hampshire, one of the largest minority populations in the state.
Our community has been in New Hampshire for over 30 years and plays an active and vibrant role throughout the state as physicians, entrepreneurs, engineers, educators, and students. From participating in PTO meetings to face-to-face dialogue with elected officials, New Hampshire Indian-Americans have emerged into a politically active community focused on having our voice heard.

While much has been made by people outside the state about the New Hampshire Primary not representing the views of minorities, we believe that through proper organization and energy, our Primary provides us the opportunity to ensure that every Presidential candidate understands the issues important to us. For 2008 and beyond, through attending town hall meetings and house parties in our neighborhoods, the Indian-American community met with Presidential candidates and informed them about our views.
