India is a country with very few natural resources. Around 1950, the Indian government realized that Indian's resources were in the brain power of its citizens. So they opened up a bunch of tech and science institutes to educate the people. Consequently, they produced a lot of doctors, who then went to work in the US, which is why many people in the medical profession are Indian.
i never knew that before. thank you for enlightening me.
all i know is that most of my doctors were/are Asian.
