Washington: You can call it Amar Akbar Amar Akbar’s moment.
Or more accurate, Manka Monka Mona Vandana Washington Mona Vandana.
In the midst of increasing white nationalism and nativism in Central America, one of the more liberal countries has slapped the trend by choosing four subcontinental women, including a Hindu, a Sikh and a Muslim, with his legislature.
“The oath of Senator Yasmin Trudeau on the day of the senator, joined Senator Manka Dhingra and Senator Mona Das, marked the first time in American history that members of the Muslim parliament, Sikh and Hindus had acted together in the state or federal legislature,” the Washington State Democratic Party ) It was announced over the weekend, with a photo quartet which included Perwater Vandana, which was appointed to the Washington State House of Westime in 2017 and was the first Indian-American legislator on the body.
Tuesday saw Dhingra and Trudeau led the Senate Legal Committee and Justice as Chair and Deputy Chairperson, the first time two South Asian women had served in the role together in the history of Washington State, said the party.
While the US Congress is increasingly diverse over the past decade – with 124 members, almost a quarter of 535 parliamentarians, identifying themselves as ethnicity or racial minority – this movement is unclear in the state legislature.
The federal parliamentarians at the US Representative Council of Representatives, were taken from 50 states, including Ami Bera and Ro Khanna from California, King Krishnamoorthi from Illinois, and Pramila Jayapal from the state of Washington, all parts of what was nicknamed “Samosa Caucus”.
Bera and Khanna are US births, while Krishnamoorthi and Jayapal are New Delhi and Chennai.
All are Democrats, as well as lawmakers from the legislature of the state of Washington, shows the party is more diverse, inclusive, and open to immigrants than the Republican Party, which has recently embraced Nativis’s policy.
“When I joined the Senate (state) in 2017, I doubled the size of the color of the color caucus, from one to two,” said Dhingra, who was the first Sikh-American selected for the legislature of the State (Dalip Singh Saund from California is Sikh India First and first chosen to US home in 1956).
“Then, in 2018, we doubled it again …
Now, we have one of the most diverse legislatives in the US.” “We prove to the world that America celebrates the diversity of our community,” said Das, the first person from Bihar chosen to the legislature in the US.
“The woman’s party leads by raising constituent sounds that have not been represented previously in the power hall.” Although US houses have two leading Muslim members – Somalia-American Ilhan Omar and Palestine -America Rashida Tlaib – Trudeau is the first and first immigrants of Bangladesh to serve in the Washington state legislature.
