Indian Americans are Americans whose ancestry originates fully or partially from India. With a population of more than 5.1 million, Indian Americans make up approximately 1.6% of the U.S. population and are the largest group of South Asian Americans, the largest Asian-alone group,[7] and the second-largest group of Asian Americans after Chinese Americans.

Indian Americans are sometimes confused with American Indians, also known as Native Americans. American Indians are not actually connected to India.[8]
