Some historians have asserted that Christopher Columbus never physically visited America, and certainly did not discover America. Most historical material indicates that it was in 1492 that Columbus discovered America while traversing North America.
Indian Americans enjoy a history stretching back to 1902. This broad category is broken down into diverse groups and social castes ranging from those with little education, those who are highly educated, and those with money and those without it.
Sikhs, or Punjab, represent a group of early Indian inhabitants of America. This group left India on a quest for employment and prosperity.
Though Indian Americans have Indian origin, there population in America has increased tremendously. From 200 in 1902, to more than 2.15 million to date.
They have diversified their economic background and now own multinational companies, organizations and business in almost every part of the world.
In 2005, Charles Mann argued in his book "New Revelations of the America Before Columbus" that many Indians had already found their way to the western continents well before Columbus ever set sail, thanks to a highly developed culture and advanced understanding of the world.
While their history may often be overlooked, the origins of Indian Americans are very diverse. This group hailed from locations such as Kenya, Tanzania, Fiji, Uganda, Jamaica, Canada, the United Kingdom, Guyana and Malaysia, which are all regions in which their populations remain on the rise.
The largest concentration of Indian Americans resides in the United States. These individuals take religion very seriously, played a large role in the history of America, and were present during its discovery.
Of course, that still doesn't solve the riddle of who was the first person from the Old World to find the New - Columbus, the Indians, or Amerigo Vespucci - an Italian explorer born April 9, 1453 who spent much of his time poring over the old maps and theorizing about unknown places.
Competing theories regarding America's discovery abound, but it is difficult to establish concrete factual evidence of the truth. We can be certain, however, that while America is indeed young compared to other nations, its history continues to fascinate.
