A bipartisan delegation of esteemed US lawmakers is set to embark on a meaningful visit to India, coinciding with the notable Red Fort ceremony on August 15. In an official communication originating from Washington DC, it has been revealed that these distinguished representatives will engage in several impactful events, with a central focus on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s address.
Leading this remarkable Congressional group are Indian-American Congressman Ro Khanna and Congressman Michael Waltz, who jointly helm the bipartisan Congressional Caucus on India and Indian Americans. Their visit is poised to strengthen ties between the two nations, fostering discussions on economic, defense, and strategic collaborations.
The itinerary of this delegation encompasses more than just the Red Fort ceremony. Delving into a diverse range of engagements, the lawmakers are scheduled to meet influential figures from the spheres of business, technology, government, and even Bollywood in cities like Mumbai, Hyderabad, and New Delhi. Furthermore, their journey will pay tribute to the legacy of Mahatma Gandhi with a visit to Raj Ghat, a significant memorial site.
The historical significance of this visit is underscored by Congressman Khanna’s personal connection to India’s struggle for freedom. His grandfather, Amarnath Vidyalankar, stood as a valiant freedom fighter and a comrade of Gandhi, sharing a prison cell for four years and later becoming a member of India’s inaugural parliament.

In the words of Congressman Khanna, “As co-chairs of the Congressional Caucus on India and Indian Americans, we are proud to lead a bipartisan delegation to India. We will be there to discuss how to strengthen economic and defense ties between our two counties, the oldest and largest democracies. Both of us believe that the US-India relationship will be a defining one of the 21st century. India is a key partner in ensuring multipolarity in Asia and the denial of China as a hegemon.”
Khanna’s vision is firmly grounded in the shared values of democracy, freedom of the press and assembly, and human rights. The delegation sees this momentous journey as an unprecedented opportunity to galvanize collaboration and advance their common goals.
In summary, a group of esteemed US lawmakers is gearing up for a significant visit to India, highlighted by their participation in the Red Fort ceremony and underscored by a diverse range of engagements aimed at fortifying the bilateral relationship between these two influential democracies.
