'Not Dirty Indian': Texas Governor Hopeful Sparks Outrage With Anti-India Post

A candidate for Texas governor is facing widespread criticism after posting a message on social media that included the phrase 'Not Dirty Indian.' The post, which has since been condemned by Indian American groups and political figures, has sparked outrage for its apparent anti-India sentiment.

The candidate, who is running in the Republican primary, made the comment in a post that appeared to target a political opponent. The phrase 'Not Dirty Indian' was used in a context that many interpreted as a slur against people of Indian descent.

Indian American organizations in Texas and across the country have denounced the remark, calling it racist and divisive. Several community leaders have demanded an apology and called on the candidate to withdraw the statement.

The candidate has not publicly apologized for the post. The controversy comes as the Indian American community in Texas continues to grow in political influence, with many voters closely watching the race.

Political analysts say the incident could affect the candidate's standing among voters, particularly in a state with a significant Indian American population. The primary election is scheduled for later this year.
