WASHINGTON: A nationwide grassroot body of Indian-Americans has been launched by Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton's campaign to support the former secretary of state, hinting that an Indian-American could also be appointed under her presidency.

The organisation named 'Indian-Americans for Hillary Clinton' (IAHC) was launched yesterday in a Maryland suburb of Washington by Clinton's campaign manager John Podesta.

Mr Podesta, who personally came down from the campaign headquarters of New York, told a gathering of Indian-Americans that relationship between India and the US would reach a new level after Clinton is elected as the president in the November elections.

"One of the things that she is committed to having a broad diverse cabinet than any administration. And I think, as Senator and as Secretary she showed that commitment by appointing Indian-Americans to positions of responsibilities and I think you should expect that as president of the United States," Mr Podesta said.

NB (nothing whatsoever to do with politics): I had to wait for an ad to play for several seconds before being able to read this article. If you are in the market for a sari and you get the same ad, you might find it interesting.

I think someone needs to talk to those folks. When I was a Clarkie, Wes had their endorsements. Pretty large group if not for the primaries maybe we could get a group growing for the GE?
