Recognizing the contributions made to the United States by the Indian American diaspora and condemning recent acts of racism against Indian Americans.

HRES 819 is a non-binding House resolution recognizing the contributions of the Indian American community (over 5.2 million people in the U.S.) and condemning recent racism against them. It specifically highlights their achievements - such as high educational attainment and roles in fields like medicine, law, and public service - and notes a doubling of reported harassment incidents targeting South Asians, including Hindus and Sikhs. The resolution formally acknowledges the community's cultural, economic, and scientific impact on the U.S. and condemns all hate, discrimination, and violence against Indian Americans and the broader South Asian community. As a symbolic gesture, it does not create new laws or policies but expresses congressional support for addressing anti-Indian racism.
