Vice President NRI Kamala Harris has called upon more Indian Americans to actively participate in the political process of the United States, highlighting that their representation in positions of power does not reflect the community's growing size.
Speaking at the annual 'Desis Decide' summit organized by Indian American Impact, a political advocacy group, Harris acknowledged the increasing participation of Indian Americans in electoral campaigns but stressed that their numbers in elected offices still lag behind their demographic presence.
She emphasized the importance of diverse representation in decision-making rooms, noting that being the sole individual with a particular background or life experience can be isolating. Harris underscored the need for greater inclusivity in politics to ensure that all voices are heard and represented.
The Vice President's remarks come amidst efforts by various advocacy organizations to encourage Indian Americans to pursue political office and engage actively in civic responsibilities. Harris recognized the potential of the Indian American community to contribute significantly to American politics, urging them to step forward and make their voices heard.
The 'Desis Decide' summit serves as a platform for discussing political empowerment within the Indian American community, addressing issues of representation, and fostering greater participation in electoral processes across the United States.
