WASHINGTON:

"When I was first sworn in twelve years ago, I was the sole Indian-American Member of Congress and only the third in U.S. history. Now, our coalition is six strong! I am excited to welcome even more Indian-Americans to the halls of Congress in the years to come!" Congressman Dr. Ami Bera said in a post on X.

Bera, the senior most of them, who has been sworn in for the seventh consecutive term as a representative of the seventh Congressional District of California, also posted a picture of all six Indian-American congressmen from the floor of the House.
