Kind of true, but there's still a very large Indian community in Queens. The Indians don't live in Jackson Heights, though. They're further out, in the Bellerose/Floral Park/Queens Village areas. You will see Little India commercial sections along Hillside Ave., Union Turnpike, and Braddock Ave.
There's also an emerging Little India on Long Island, in Hicksville (basically near the LIRR station).
