His coming, and what he has been able to do, put India on the world map."It gives us a lot more encouragement, that what at the world stage he has been able to do, and we as Hindu-Americans...Indian Americans right here, sitting in America, we should be able to do a lot more, he added.The Hindu-American Summit, hosted by the recently formed Americans4Hindus Political Action Committee (PAC) in collaboration with over 20 other diaspora organisations, will be held at the US Capitol to bring the Hindu community's issues to the attention of lawmakers.Around 130 Indian American leaders from Florida, New York, Boston, Texas, Chicago, and California are attending the event to represent 20 Hindu and Indian organisations.Several other Congressional leaders, both Democrats and Republicans, are slated to speak at the conference alongside US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
