Bobby Jindal, who is just 32 and a Rhodes Scholar, addresses supporters in Baton Rouge on Friday night.

Though he narrowily lost the election, Indian-American activists believe he has changed the landscape for the community forever.

'The American political world has changed. Indian-Americans are at a crossroads, an intersection where we can fail miserably or pass with flying colors. Bobby's campaign rekindles the bright spirit Dalip Singh Saund, the first Indian-American elected to Congress in the 1950s, brought to our community,' Varun Nikore, President, Indian American Leadership Initiative, writes in a commentary in this week's issue of India Abroad newspaper, which is owned by rediff.com
