Culture, Value

America has been the land of opportunity for generations of immigrants. Some came looking for freedom to practice their faith, many sought to build a life away from crisis, and then there were folks looking for intellectual gratification in their specialization. Many Indian American immigrants in the US today belong to the third category. They came here in search of challenging engagements and academic pursuits that would match their hunger for learning and offer them the sense of accomplishment they were either deprived of or could not foresee in India. 
India is known for its diversity; one community stands out for its quest for knowledge and excellence. That community is called Maithils. With a history dating back to the Vedic period, the Mithila region encompasses the northern part of Bihar and southern Nepal. It has produced numerous teachers, academics, business leaders, and technologists who can be found worldwide and indeed in all the important cities of North America today. 
Texas has been attracting talent from all over the country and worldwide for the past decade. With no personal income taxes, robust modern infrastructure, and a diverse workforce, the state has steadily climbed up to be the number one choice for talented individuals.
The Dallas metroplex epitomizes all that is great about Texas. It was only natural that Maithils would find their way to this city. A year before COVID-19, around ten community members met at a clubhouse and floated the idea of building the DFWMaithil Family. Today, it is a thriving community of over 50 families that is growing fast. 
This DFWMaithil Family intends to advance the Maithil culture of art, learning and enlightenment in the Dallas Metroplex.
