Indian-American Lawmakers Kamala Harris, Ami Bera Co-Sponsor Fourth Annual Langar on Capitol Hill
The fourth annual Langar on Capitol Hill was co-sponsored by Indian-American lawmakers, Senator Kamala Harris and Congressman Ami Bera, both Democrats of California, and drew over 200 attendees on a Monday evening. The event was held ahead of a packed week of hearings, meetings, votes and negotiations for members of Congress who will soon be leaving town for the summer recess.
Langar is a 500-year-old Sikh tradition of serving a free vegetarian meal promoting a spirit of equality and anti-segregation. The event on Capitol Hill was organized by ten members constituting the SikhLEAD class of 2017 – students who are serving as interns this summer in the nation’s capital under the umbrella organization, Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund (SALDEF). It is an educational opportunity for bipartisan US lawmakers and their aides to learn more about Sikhism, the world’s fifth largest religion.

Is it really possible to dearly miss someone whom you have not met? Janam din mubarak to my idol, Sirdar Kapur Singh ji. A professor, author, theologian, philosopher, and parliamentarian-politician. As a Sikh ideologue, he was the central mover of the Anandpur Resolution of 1973. And although his authorship was not glorified, the intrinsic document of the Presidential Declaration at the Hari Singh Nalwa Conference of 1965 also bore his penmanship. A truely free soul he was and someone who had a vision as wide as the horizon for the Panth. I wish to be but a fraction of his greatness. #sikhpsychie #sikhleader #sirdarkapursingh #love #respect #sikhpolitics #Panjaab
