On
September 15, 2013 Davuluri created history when she was crowned
as the 2014 Miss America. She ran with the platform "celebrating
diversity through cultural competency," and mesmerized
the audience with the Bollywood number "Dhoom Taana,"
from the Bollywood film, "Om Shanti Om". This is
the first time when a Bollywood dance was performed at Miss
America!
Even though Filipino American Angela
Perez Baraquio was the first Asian American to win the 2001
Miss America crown, Davuluri's win marks the beginning of
a big change occurring in Miss America's peagent. 2014 represented
the first year when five Asian American's were competing for
the crown. Out of the five, three reached top five and 2 reached
the final.
Davuluri's win was received with
lot of surprise and ample xenophobic (racist) comments. However,
Davuluri is getting complete support from everyone who understand
diversity and the changing face of America. Congratulations
Ms.Davuluri, let your march begin!
