Hamilton County is fast becoming one of Indiana's most diverse areas, attracting immigrants for many of the same reasons U.S.-born residents relocate to the northside: quality of life, top-rated schools, high-paying jobs and proximity to Indianapolis in a suburban setting. Those are among the reasons Ritu Chokshi moved to Carmel 14 years ago. She and her parents immigrated to Toronto from India in 2002, when Chokshi was a young adult. She moved to Indiana thinking she would convince her husband, Karthik Raghupathy, whom she had met online, that they should make Canada their permanent home.
