Samosa Caucus

Context:

The Prime Minister referred to the “Samosa Caucus” in the House of Representatives in his speech to the joint sitting of the United States Congress.

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.
