You may expect to find bustling garment factories in a far off foreign land. But in this northern New Jersey workshop, the only thing not made in America is the owner.

And her reason being, "Your supply chain gets broken when half is here and half of it is outside."

Suuchi Ramesh was born in India and came to the United States a decade ago to work in technology. However, even though she calls herself "very much a nerd," Ramesh always wanted to build something from scratch.

And it all started with a challenge. Ramesh became frustrated with her own search of clothes that could fit her petite stature....

I will drink to that! Silicon valley is also full of outfits started by Indian immigrants employing Americans. MOST India born immigrants are productive. I am sure there are a few bad apples as well.

Hindus have been enemies with Islam since around the beginning.

If you’ll employ sixty Americans I might turn a blind eye towards you sneaking in. LOL

The centuries of Muslims invading Europe resulted in 10’s of millions slaughtered. The centuries of Muslims invading Asia, particularly India, resulted in 100’s of millions slaughtered.

Homework assignment for a liberal: Ask a Sikh or a Hindu about the Mogul Islamic Invasion of India.

What are you just sayin'? Hindus are NOT Muslims. Hindus and Muslims have been bitter enemies.

When Lord Mountbatten, last Viceroy of India gave India independence, he also took the part of India with the largest Mussie population to create Pakistan. The Hindus in that part of India had to flee for their lives to escape the Muslims.

I know this first hand from a good friend of mine from India. They lived in the part of India that became Pakistan.

I saw that news piece. It seemed to be trying to prove that Trump's initiatives to thwart the invasion of the US (my words, not theirs) is a bad thing. The woman who started the company is a LEGAL immigrant, having worked in tech before identifying a need and starting this company. Every employee they interviewed is a US citizen.

She's actually a perfect example of how the system works when it hasn't run amuck.

Newark NJ was a hub of (mostly from an area of Campania, Italy where my gr-grandfather was born and where his brother and cousins immigrated to Newark) tailors, shoemakers and various shopkeepers from the early 1900’s to the 1950’s. The majority came through Ellis Island and others from other ports along the east coast LEGALLY. One of my cousins started a silk textile companyin the 1920’s in upper NJ where they had dozens of folks from the same village in Italy working there and getting their start in the American way of life.

So glad to hear about this Indian’s new but really old idea of starting manufacturing again.

Hindi is a language. Hindu is probably the word you are looking for
