Indians?  They have a long history of the caste, so you might automatically assume that they like Republicans better than they like Democrats, and to be sure they preferred Bush over Gore in 2000.  But in 2012 3/4 of them preferred Obama over Romney.

That sounds like the sort of logic Republicans would use in trying to appeal to Indian-Americans.

I just thought that a lot of Indians voted GOP because they don't like Muslims. Most Indians I know are pretty obnoxious latte-types but are very hawkish. Basically, they are neocons a way that a lot of people say that Jews/Israelis are.

No, the Indians in India are pretty anti-Muslim. They are called "Mazis" by many Indians and there are perhaps those who would vote BJP back home but once they are naturalized here, they are pretty loyal Democrats.
