Mr. Madasani moved to Kansas in 2014, joining his friend Mr. Kuchibhotla at Garmin. Mr. Kuchibhotla persuaded his parents and his wife’s to bless their marriage, built upon love, rather than arranged. Mr. Kuchibhotla and Mr. Madasani were back at their table talking. With four years of experience as an Army medic, he went straight to Mr. Kuchibhotla, whose breathing was shallow and labored. All of a sudden, Mr. Kuchibhotla was a hate crime statistic, an example to bolster anti-hate legislation and now linked, fairly or not, to President Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric.
