Washington D.C. - Congressman Pete Sessions (TX-17) and Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (NY-21) have announced the inauguration of the Congressional Hindu Caucus in the 118th Congress. The caucus, originally established in the 115th Congress, aims to build a strong connection between the Hindu-American community and policymakers in Washington, D.C.

The Congressional Hindu Caucus, led by Congressman Sessions and Chairwoman Stefanik, is dedicated to representing the values and concerns of the Hindu-American community. It brings together Hindus from various countries, including India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands. The caucus is also inclusive of members from other faiths with Indian origins, such as Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists.

One of the key objectives of the Congressional Hindu Caucus is to advocate for free enterprise, limited government, fiscal discipline, strong family values, and a robust foreign policy stance against authoritarian regimes. By taking a proactive approach, the caucus aims to strengthen the Hindu-American presence in Washington and ensure their perspectives are heard at the highest levels of government.

Congressman Sessions stated, "The inauguration of the Congressional Hindu Caucus marks a significant step towards recognizing and amplifying the voice of the Hindu-American community in our nation's capital. We are committed to addressing their concerns, celebrating their contributions, and ensuring their perspectives are heard at the highest levels of government."

The Caucus includes several dedicated members, including Congressman Andy Biggs (AZ-5), who are passionate about advancing its mission.

The establishment of the Congressional Hindu Caucus in the 118th Congress reflects the growing importance of Hindu-American voices in the political landscape. This caucus will play a pivotal role in shaping policies and decisions that impact the Hindu-American community and foster a more representative and diverse nation.
