Last month, ABC became the first network in history to launch a TV show starring an actress of Indian origin, Priyanka Chopra.
Ravi Jain | Understanding Ahmed’s Story
(09/29/15 2:20am)
The incredibly strong social media support for Ahmed Mohamed may seem like an indication of a changing tide in United States attitudes toward Muslims, but the handcuffing itself is evident of an entrenched Islamophobia that will take many decades to heal.
Ravi Jain | 'Prodigies' at Penn
(09/15/15 4:23am)
At Penn, an often overlooked group of students are the younger population: most skipped a year or more in grade school, many started school early and some came from a different school system in which the coursework was more advanced.
Ravi Jain | Minorities within minorities
(09/01/15 1:31am)
It seems to me that there is no other group of people on Earth as obsessed with the profession of medicine as the Indian-American community. Of course, it’s possible to associate others with the same values and parenting styles that might lead their children down the path to become a physician, but not to the extent that almost everyone is convinced that success involves little more than an M.D.
Ravi Jain | The double standard of culture
(04/22/15 3:55am)
“Did you go to holly last weekend?” my friend asked on a Monday morning. I had just seen his recently updated profile picture while scrolling through my Facebook News Feed. It showed him with his arm around his girlfriend’s waist, both wearing white shirts and both covered in some kind of colored powder.

Most of the articles I read about Ellen Pao’s case — both leading up to the trial and after it — did not have any mention of her racial identity, and the rest tiptoed around the subject. I think the fact that she is Asian-American is inseparable from her gender when considering the discrimination she alleged to have faced at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.
Ravi Jain | The social lives of transfer students
(03/18/15 12:59am)
When I introduce myself to other students, the one thing I try to avoid saying the most is that I am a transfer student.
Ravi Jain | Emoji and the Evolution of Language
(02/26/15 5:34am)
Like many, I was skeptical of emoji when they first arrived on the texting scene. They seemed little more than a gimmick or distraction, and I was much more comfortable using my favorite emoticons, namely :) and :D.
Ravi Jain | The apocalypse of technology
(02/11/15 4:39am)
I will be among the first to admit that my relationship with my smartphone is unhealthy. It’s an iPhone 4, which makes it a dinosaur given the speed at which technology develops and it is now very slow — almost unusable. Despite it frequently irritating me, I am constantly using it even when I shouldn’t be and scramble to charge it the second the low-battery alert pops up. I hate it, but I can’t live without it.
Tall, Skinny, Mocha | Advocating for equalism
(01/28/15 5:19am)
With the advent of internet-based dissemination of media, movements such as feminism have rapidly gained worldwide prominence and support. However, feminism has suffered from an identity crisis as some of its proponents offer a variety of explanations for it and attack those who do not define feminism in the same way that they do.
Ravi Jain | Have you found your match?

As an Indian-American, I am often jokingly asked by some of my semi-culturally aware friends if I plan on having an arranged marriage. While it is true that arranged marriages still are common in India and in the Indian-American community, every family follows traditions to a different extent.
