Davesh Pandit, a prominent figure within FIIDS, made this appeal during an interview with IndoUS Tribune, emphasizing the critical role that voting plays in shaping the future of both the United States and the Indian diaspora.
The Importance of Voting
Pandit highlighted the importance of every individual’s vote, stating that participation in the electoral process is not just a right but a responsibility. “The power to vote is a fundamental aspect of democracy, and it is essential that every eligible Indian American exercises this right to have their voice heard,” he said.
Pandit further expressed his willingness to hold camps and meetings aimed at raising awareness about the significance of voting, especially among those who may be first-time voters or unfamiliar with the process.
FIIDS’ Comitment to the Indian Diaspora
The Foundation for India and Indian Diaspora Studies (FIIDS) is a key organization dedicated to representing the interests of the Indian American community and strengthening ties between the United States and India.
