Great meeting with the Foundation for India and Indian Diaspora Studies and Indian American constituent advocates from across our PA-1 community—Prasanna Jog and Ishan Jog of North Wales, Aniket Deodhar and Anushka Deodhar of Warrington, Chaiti Banerjee of Yardley, Rishi Jani of Bensalem, and Youg Thaker of Chalfont. The U.S.-India partnership is one of the most important relationships of this century, rooted in shared democratic values, strengthened by deep people-to-people ties, and critical to America’s security and competitiveness in a changing world. Our discussion focused key aspects of that partnership: securing the Indo-Pacific, strengthening access to the critical minerals that power our defense and technology future, expanding trade with trusted democratic partners, and defending religious freedom here at home. Those priorities are at the center of the work I am leading in through H.R. 4391, H.R. 3307, and H.Res. 69–efforts focused on building more secure supply chains, strengthening economic ties with trusted partners, and making clear that Hinduphobia and anti-Hindu bigotry have no place in our country. No faith community in America should ever be targeted, marginalized, or attacked because of how they worship. That principle is fundamental to religious freedom, and it must be defended clearly and consistently. I am grateful to FIIDS and our PA-1 advocates for their insight and leadership as we continue working together to strengthen the U.S.-India partnership, defend religious freedom, and advance policies that keep America secure, competitive, and united.
