It looks more like, Indians in NewsWeek.
It is yet another example of how people tend to generalize whenever the topic is realted to South-East Asian people or countries to one Indian or India. From the history, art, culture, or even to the civilization which actually took place in Indus-Valley, now in Pakistan, all of the credit seems to go to India and Indians, and not to Indian sub-continent, which is the result of such generalization.
Anyway, Yes, Indians are successful because of their hardwork, teamwork, and their desire to move forward in different aspects of life.
I doubt we will ever get to hear anything good about Nepali. Just "Sajha," a web-site which could be so benificial and informative to people, gets misued to insult, blast, and critize negatively the very own nepali who seems to do even just a little better than an average Nepali. We lack teamwork, and support from our own people.

FYI, Fareed Zakaria is the editor of Newsweek International. He is originally from Bombay(Mumbai).
Zakaria offers political analysis on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, where he serves as a regular member of the roundtable. He also appears as an analyst on other ABCNEWS programs.
Trained as an academic at Yale and Harvard universities, Zakaria, at age 28, became the youngest managing editor in the history of Foreign Affairs, the leading journal of international politics and economics.
Before joining Foreign Affairs, he ran the “Project on the Changing Security Environment” at Harvard University, where he also taught international politics and economics. He has been an Adjunct Professor at Columbia University and Case Western Reserve University.
His latest book, The Future of Freedom, a New York Times bestseller, sheds light on the complex interaction between economics and politics, on America’s role in the world, and on the way in which democracy is changing every aspect of our lives — from economics and technology to politics and culture.
BY the way, his brother Arshad is the President of Global Markets & Investment Banking (GMI) at Merrill Lynch.

And Zakaria's wife is a gahana-designer in New York, with a top-flight MBA.
And Zakaria is both a gourmet cook and a wine guru, and loves to talk endlessly
about food and wine.
And - as a matter of two degrees of separation -- Zakaria was the "section leader" (instructor) in a political science course of at least two straight-from-Nepali students
at his graduate school.
Zakaria, born and raised in Mumbai, is smart, suave, sophisticated, knows all the right people in New York and DC and, as a newly-minted US citizen, may well end up as the
US Secretary of State someday a la Henry Kissinger. More power to him!!

Strong opinion there, LJ:-)
In deed, Bobby didn't stand for ideals we hold dear. After adopting the ideologies of bigots, what was there to stand for, contest for, and be proud of anyway? Bobby in deed went too far in appeasing Christian rights. However, there were a lot of Indians who didn't like Bobby, and I read their articles flaying his positions in different issues in several Indian-American focussed newspapers.
This list is also very incomplete. It celebrates the son Chopra, but misses the original father Chopra. Shabir Bhatia is celebrated, but Vinod Khosla and Nabin Jain are not.Some obscure chefs are celebrated, but famous professors are left out. The writers seem to be oblivious of the fact that Mira Nair teaches film in NY, Salman Rushdie is adopting NY as his house and professor Sen has returned to Boston.
