Right—they have tended to vote Democrat. That’s why Trump making a difference could really make a difference. Those I know will cite the poverty in India as an example of why you need government programs to protect and take care of the poor in order to justify their votes.
But they tend to live culturally very conservative lives, getting and staying married, becoming highly educated and working hard. Those in my town tend to be hedge fund managers, tech executives and entrepreneurs, and doctors.
In my area there are some of those but more of the merchant caste - Qwik-E-Mart types; still hard workers, but little involved in the larger community. Given their religious & cultural views, I can understand that.
