Washington, Jan 8 — The rich history of immigrants from India and Indian Americans and their many contributions to the US will be brought to life here through an upcoming exhibition, "Beyond Bollywood: Indian Americans Shape the Nation".
Scheduled to open in late 2013, the exhibition will showcase the Indian American experience and the many dynamic roles they have played in shaping American society and culture through a collection of photographs, artefacts, videos, interactive stations and stories.
"The Indian American story has yet to be fully told," said Konrad Ng, director of the Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Centre, which is mounting the exhibition with New Jersey-based TV Asia network serving South Asians across the US and Canada as the media sponsor.
