Like user Irving, I also never thought about the history of South Asians in Hawai'i. I always felt like the first generation there - good to know about all the generations that came before!

I grew up worried, at times, that by not being raised in India I was losing out on a legacy. This piece gave me the chance to re-think that and recognize that we are all part of history with multiple legacies across multiple spaces. Thanks for that!
