A Texas housing developer was forced to deny that a new community being built in the Dallas area will be exclusively for Indian-Americans.
Sankalp Developer became infamous for the now-viral tweet that claimed they were building ‘a development by INDIANS for the right INDIANS.’
The tweet reads: ‘INDIA FIRST!’
The post does not specify where the supposed development would be located, however, Sanklap is based in Frisco – a wealthy suburb of Dallas.
In recent years, Frisco and neighboring communities like Plano, Prosper and Celina have been flooded by Southeast Asians, in what used to be majority white parts of the state.
In the boom town of Celina, Telugu (a language spoken on the subcontinent) has overtaken Spanish as the second most spoken language in its prized school district, according to local reports.
However, the man in charge of Sankalp tells Daily Mail there is no truth to the post, which he learned about on Wednesday evening.
‘Obviously not,’ Sankalp CEO Mukesh Parna said in a phone interview Thursday.

Parna explained that his firm has reached out to X to try to remove the post.
Additionally, they’ve launched their own investigation into the incident.
The user who created the post, Rajan Varadarajan Iyer, is a person they’ve never heard of and who has never worked with them.
His online post was shared by the X account @PaxAmericana.
‘We’ve been peacefully occupied,’ X user @JohnAselton posted.
Despite some X users pointing out that the source of the tweet appeared to be AI-generated, it didn’t stop strong reaction to even the idea of an Indian community.
‘Texas is lost. Even in very rural Texas White people are the minority. Indians outnumber the hispanics,’ added @Devinski787
Sankalp Develop in Frisco, Texas denies a tweet about it building an Indian-only community is real, the firm told Daily Mail
In recent years, Indian immigrants have flooded the wealthy, mostly white suburbs north of Dallas, buying up home in posh communities like Frisco, Texas
Indian restaurants and shops line the streets of neighborhoods that were mostly white just 10 years ago
Earlier this year, controversy erupted over a very real mosque in Plano, EPIC, announcing plans to start a Muslim City about 40 minutes outside of Dallas.
While that was no rumor, it’s unlikely EPIC City will ever become a reality, as there has been huge opposition to it by Gov. Greg Abbott, who has ordered several investigations into the Islamic organization.
