About Samosa Caucus:

  • Samosa Caucus is the name given to an informal grouping of Indian-origin Americans in the US Congress.
  • The term Samosa Caucus has been in use since at least 2018.
  • There are, at present, five US Representatives with Indian roots. A sixth, Vice President Harris, is the leader of the Senate. All are Democrats.
  • It signals the elevation of the Indian-origin community from professional or instrumental roles — in retail, hospitality, medicine and information technology — to political prominence, with direct access to the levers of power.
