New York City, long the destination for immigrants and migrants, is in the 21st century home to the largest Indian American population in the United States.

Some of the city's hottest clubs host regular banghra parties, weekly events where young South Asians congregate to dance to music that mixes rap beats with Hindi film music, bhangra (North Indian and Pakistani in origin), reggae, techno and other popular styles. Many of these young people also are active in community and campus organizations that stage performances of ethnic cultures. Read more
