For most of its existence, the Asia Society was mostly about 'Asians'; who to the average US Joe are Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Burmese etc - people of mogoloid extraction - Indians hardly figured in the picture. Even the establishments of their overseas offices plainly shows this. I guess with the demise of the cold war and the new-found possibility to make money in India, the Society has done a double-take and opened an office here.
