| | Abstract: | The Northeast Ohio Indian community survey project was conducted in 1996 by Case Western University Professor John J. Grabowski and local high school student Chetan Patil. The project sought to discover the unique experiences and challenges faced by Indian immigrants in Cleveland and northeast Ohio. Individuals were asked to answer a series of multiple choice questions regarding their Indian state of origin, current city of residence, year of immigration, occupation, marital status, age, religious background, etc. In addition to this demographic data, participants were asked to report on their hopes and dreams for their children, their opinions of American social mores, and their motivations for leaving India and settling in the United States in general and northeast Ohio in particular. Approximately 200 surveys were completed and returned. The collection consists of survey sheets and tally reports. | |
