A cluster of People Behind have foreseen the need to protect the interests of the Indian American community and that of their native nation. They saw a need to promote a core group to educate and enlighten the policy makers of the United States. Few individuals saw the need to form an Institution to create awareness to promote a cordial dialogue between the two largest democracies of the world.They saw the need to form a body for their support. A body to fund the congressional representatives and senators who understand politicians education eventsing for Indian interests. Their ideas took the shape of Indian American Friendship Council in January 1990.
