Her next mission: to shine the spotlight on the South Asian experience. When Priyanka Chopra Jonas was in the ninth grade at a school in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the kids in her world history class cornered her with questions about India. \u201cDumb questions,\u201d she clarifies, her voice measured, with only the slightest hint of fury. \u201cLike, \u2018Do you ride elephants and cows to school?\u2019 They couldn\u2019t believe that we had cars. I was so mad. I had a project coming up for my final grade and I went home and stayed up all night. I printed out images of modern India: of Mumbai, technology, and all of the cool stuff we have.
