Days after Indian immigrant Srinivas Kuchibhotla was killed in a suspected hate crime in Olathe, Kansas, his widow Sunayana Dumala took to Facebook to ask the question that she believed was in every immigrant’s mind after the tragedy: “Do we belong here?”
It was meant to be a philosophical query about Indian immigrants’ place in American society. But in the months that followed, the question of whether Dumala belonged in America became a serious legal one.
