Bangalore: Well Indian-Americans in the Silicon Valley, California, could win with huge majority if there is a contest for the most successful immigrant group in the U.S. Majority of technology companies, successful start-ups and investments in venture capital funds has an India-American presence and this makes it even more interesting, reports Economic Times.

When there is such a sway in business, can politics be far behind? Well that is what we will be seeing in this year's Congressional race in California's 17th district, where we will witness not one, but two Indian-American candidates, who could be rutted against each other.

Khanna, an Indian-American with a lawyer background, is very much eyeing for the Democratic ticket wherein he will be challenging his fellow Democrat Mike Honda, the present and a seven-term Congressman at the primaries. As the Republican candidate, Vanila Singh won’t face such troubles, as she is a new entrant into politics who entered the fray only six weeks ago.
