This is an article that will help people with common Indian last names succeed in life. The 5 habits to master are:
Be prepared for hard work – Care about your reputation
Have a sense of humor – Make goals and stay committed to them
Work on making friends – Build a network around you
Excel at what you do – Stay humble
The first habit is be prepared for hard work. This means that even if the task seems simple, it will take time and effort to complete. The second important thing to keep in mind is caring about your reputation. It sounds like a cliché but people judge on every little detail of someone’s appearance so always look put together and presentable. Thirdly, have a sense of humor which can go a long way when trying to ease tensions or get out of sticky situations with friends or co-workers. Fourth, make goals and stay committed to them! When there are certain milestones set by either oneself or outside sources they need not be easily discarded as life goes on because these achievements provide
Habit # One – What you do is what you become.
There are many habits that successful Indians have in common, and one of those habits is the idea that “what we do becomes who we are.” It’s a very simple concept with a powerful message — our actions dictate how others see us. This ties back to habit number two: be mindful about your thoughts and words because they will shape both your inner world as well as the outer world around you.

Practicing gratitude on a daily basis can help teach humility and show appreciation for all sorts of things from life experiences like travel or work, to possessions such as material objects or even simply having loving family and friends.
Habit Number Four: Be generous with your time, energy, and resources! There’s a difference between being stingy and smart about how you spend your money or use your time. This habit is really important because it allows us to have the feeling of abundance which helps build up our sense of self-worth. The more we give without expecting anything in return, the more we create an atmosphere that encourages giving back to others.
Lastly, Habit Number Five: Practice Courageous Mindful Living! Our thoughts are powerful forces affecting every part of our lives from personal relationships to careers, health status, finances–all aspects of life can be positively influenced by setting intentions for what you want in each area as well as learning how to manage your thoughts.

“Many people believe that last names like Patel, Chaudhary and Gupta are the most common in India. It’s true that these surnames make up a significant portion of Indian population.”
“But there is another group which also has an abundance of members with similar family names: those who have been converted to Hinduism or Islam from other faiths such as Christianity, Judaism or Sikhism. The conversions were either forced by colonial rulers during British rule (1857-1947) or done voluntarily for various reasons.”
Might be good to talk about how this impacts some religious groups more than others? What if it was only one religion being forcefully converted? This would not affect all religions equally then. How does this have an impact on the population?

I think I need a paragraph here about different cultures and their attitudes towards conversion.. maybe just mention that people of certain minority
Habit # : Make up for less than stellar grades with a high level of effort.
Failed the test? That’s okay, just make sure you put in 110% on your homework that week and take some extra notes to catch yourself next time! The key is not to give up so easily. What does success mean if it comes too quickly, without having really tried hard enough? Remember no one likes an easy-to-get prize at the fair. We all want the biggest stuffed animal or most lollipops – after we’ve done our work! It might be tempting as things get harder to slack off but don’t let this happen or else you’re going against everything you stand for when it comes to success!
Habit #: Stay positive and never give up.
Stay happy, stay motivated by believing that you can do it no matter what life throws at you. Remember why you’re doing this in the first place? For yourself – for your family – for your kids to have a better future than yours (hopefully!). You are not going to get there by being negative or giving up because of little things like bumpy roads or speed bumps along the way. Achieving something is hard but anything worth having requires patience and perseverance so don’t stop now when we’re all so close to our dreams coming true! Keep on smiling, keep on moving forward with hope instead of despair. Believe in yourself, believe in the power of your dreams, and never ever give up.
Habit #: Be more grateful for what you have
We’re all different but we share a commonality – the idea that this life is tough and it’s easy to get distracted by our problems, or feel sorry for ourselves when something goes wrong because hey they went through worse so why should I complain? But being grateful helps us be happier with what we have in front of us! And who knows maybe there was someone out there who had everything stripped away from them and then suddenly found themselves sitting back on their feet after enduring some tragedy or disaster. We need to remind each other every day how lucky we are to still be here instead of thinking about all the things that could have gone wrong. Habit #: Commit to a morning routine that makes you feel good The first few hours of the day are really important because they set the tone for how we’ll feel and what decisions we make throughout our day. That’s why it’s so critical to commit yourself to some kind of morning ritual or routine that will help get your mind, body, soul ready for anything life throws at us! The most successful people I know always start their days with something productive like reading an inspirational book before breakfast or even going on a long run – whatever works best for them. In fact, whenever I talk about my own success story one thing is clear: this wasn’t just luck- if there was anyone who
