Samosa Caucus is now the taste of the House… Those ‘Indians’ who once again proved this statement of PM Modi to be true.

While addressing the United States Congress in June 2023, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi had mentioned the ‘Samosa Caucus’ in the House of Representatives. PM Modi said that I have been told that Samosa Caucus is now the flavor of the House. I hope it will grow and bring the full diversity of Indian cuisine here. By now you have read these news many times that Trump won and Kamala Harris lost. But do you know that six people of Indian origin have also become MPs in the US elections.

We often see people playing drums to celebrate the victory of their favorite candidate in elections. This way of celebrating is common in our country. But this trend is also seen in America, thousands of kilometers away from India. The Republican Party candidate has won once again. The effect of his victory was also visible on the streets of America’s capital Washington. Trump supporters of Indian origin settled in America were seen dancing to the tune of drums. Now let’s talk about those American lawmakers of Indian origin who have got the nickname of Samosa Caucus in US politics.

The term Samosa Caucus has been in use since 2018 and is said to have been coined by Raja Krishnamurthy, a member of the US House of Representatives from the 8th district of Illinois. Which was called a group of MPs and representatives of Indian origin inside the Parliament. Since samosa is an Indian dish and is famous all over the world. This is the reason why this word was easily associated with people of Indian origin.

Six representatives, including Suhas Subramaniam of the Democratic Party, won the election from Virginia’s 10th district. Suhas has defeated Mike Clancy of the Republican Party. Suhas has served in the White House as an advisor to former President Barack Obama. Democratic Dr. Ami Bera has won from California’s 6th district. He defeated Republican Christine. This is Bera’s seventh consecutive term. He is the most senior Indian American MP. Raja Krishnamurthy won the election from Illinois’s 8th Congressional District for the fifth consecutive time. It was Krishnamurthy who coined the term Samosa Caucus. He defeated Mark Rice in the election. Has worked as policy director of Barack Obama. Ro Khanna has won again from the 17th district of California. Roe defeated Republican Anita Sen. Pramila Jayapal of Washington’s 7th District defeated Dan Alexander of Republican. Mr. Thanedar won from Michigan’s 13th district.

Indian-origin Americans held many important positions even during the Biden administration and continued to represent a powerful voice in American policymaking. Referring to Vice President Kamala Harris, PM Modi said that there is someone behind me, who has created history. Then PM Modi said that I have been told that Samosa Caucus is now the flavor of the House. I hope it will grow and bring the full diversity of Indian cuisine here. Prime Minister Modi said that America’s foundation was inspired by the vision of a nation of equal people. Through your history you have embraced people from all over the world. And, you have made them equal partners in the American dream. There are millions of people here whose roots are in India. Some of them sit proudly in this room. During this, when he mentioned the Samosa Caucus, the House echoed with applause.
