Education, career keeps Indian family in Midwest

BROOKINGS – Suresh and Trupti Sutariya hail from the city of Ahmedabad, Gujarat, which is in far-western India. According to 2011 Indian Census data, Ahmedabad is the fifth largest city in India but is better known as the birthplace of Indian freedom and non-violence leader Mahatma Gandhi. “So I came here in 2013 to do my master’s, and she came as my dependent visa. And then I got done with my master’s and then got a job in Iowa, so that’s when we moved (from Brookings). And then we moved back in Brookings this January,” Suresh said. Trupti came six months later after her visa was approved.
