In a historic milestone, six Indian-Americans were sworn into the U.S. House of Representatives, forming the largest representation of this community in Congress. Known as the "Samosa Caucus," the group includes senior Congressman Dr. Ami Bera (CA-7) and newcomers like Suhash Subramanian (VA-10). Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal (WA-7), and Congressmen Ro Khanna (CA-17), Raja Krishnamoorthi (IL-8), and Shri Thanedar (MI-13) complete the group, all Democrats. Dr. Bera, celebrating his seventh term, highlighted the growing influence of Indian-Americans in U.S. politics. This achievement continues a legacy started by Dalip Singh Saund in 1957, the first Indian-American elected to Congress.
