Indians constitute more than 25% of all international students in the U.S. Some parents might wonder about sending them abroad.For those on the subcontinent, an American education has long been idealized, seen as a sure path to prosperity. And though experts don’t see that drastically changing, they say people are starting to ask questions: If it was their child, would their university keep them safe? Would they look for them if they went missing?

Indian media too has picked up on this rising death toll, with prominent news outlets running stories that read, “Threat to Indian Students in U.S.?” and “American Dream or American Horror?”

We thank you for the concern and gracious support. To further this Campaign and seek strong measures and policies to safeguard Indian students and pursue justice, you can donate via Zelle to +1(703) 725 2680
