Over two dozen U.S. lawmakers have joined the newly formed Congressional Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, and Jain American Caucus, initiated by Indian American Congressman Shri Thanedar. The caucus, launched in the U.S. Congress, is dedicated to combating religious discrimination and advancing religious freedom for Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, and Jains. Congressman Thanedar emphasized that the caucus is not just a formal gathering but a commitment to inclusivity and tolerance in America. It boasts the participation of 27 members from both Republican and Democratic parties. With millions of adherents in the U.S. and numerous temples and centers of worship, the caucus seeks to address real issues affecting these communities, including accurate representation, combating discrimination, and fostering cultural understanding. This initiative aims to empower and protect these minority groups’ interests in the United States.
