Prime Minister Narendra Modi is on a state visit to America. After a rousing welcome at the White House, PM Modi addressed a joint meeting of the US Congress at Capitol Hills. During this, names of many Indian dishes were heard from Samosa Caucus to Dosa, Shrikhand and Sandesh. Let us know why the names of various Indian dishes were mentioned in the US Parliament.
2500 political parties in India
PM Modi said that India is the home of all religions. We taste different dishes. From Dosa to Aloo Paratha, Shrikhand to Sandesh, we enjoy it all. PM Modi told about the diversity of India. He said that we have 2500 political parties here. 20 different parties are in power in different states of India. We have 22 official languages, thousands of dialects. Even then we speak with one voice. He further said that our food habits change every hundred miles. From dosa to aloo paratha and shrikhand to sandesh, we enjoy them all.
fifth largest economy
He further said that today the world wants to know more and more about India. I see the same curiosity in this House. Everyone wants to know about democracy, development and diversity of India. India Today India is the fifth largest economy. He said that India is soon going to become the third largest economy in the world.
Millions of people of Indian origin in America
PM Modi said that the foundation of America rests on equality between people. You have made people from all over the world come here as equal partners in the American dream. There are lakhs of people here whose roots are from India. Some of them are proudly sitting here in Parliament, he said. One of them is also standing behind me (Kamala Harris), who created history. I am told that the taste of Samosa Caucus is now visible in Parliament. It is expected that a variety of Indian dishes will also be seen here.
Know what is samosa caucus
Indian-origin lawmakers in the US are informally called the Samosa Caucus. The story of the Samosa Caucus began in the 2016 presidential election in the US. For the first time in that election some MPs of Indian origin were elected. Later they often appeared together in Parliament. During that time, Raja Krishnamurthy, a member of the US House of Representatives, named this group of Indian-origin MPs for the first time as the Samosa Caucus. Kamala Harris, who is currently the Vice President of the US, was also a prominent member of this group. Raja Krishnamurthy said that he named the Samosa Caucus to underline the number of MPs of Indian origin in the US Parliament.
