In a resolution passed on April 26, 2005, the U.S. House of Representatives resolved to recognize the contributions of IndianAmericans to the United States. They particularly acknowledged the contributions of graduates of the Indian Institutes of Technology and urged all Americans to join them in recognizing the benefits IndianAmericans bring to the U.S. The resolution stated that the United States is deeply enriched by its IndianAmerican residents and that they have made valuable and significant contributions to society in every profession and discipline.

Unlike a bill that must be passed by the House of Representatives, by the Senate, and signed by the President in order to become law, some resolutions need only be passed by either the U.S. House or the U.S. Senate to become effective. A resolution generally does not confer enforceable rights. It is more in the nature of an official acknowledgement worth mentioning. It does not place any requirements upon anyone, nor create any penalties, nor allow for lawsuits for failures to act. It does not require people within the United States to recognize the contributions of IndianAmericans nor does it penalize them if they do not.

We at The Law Office of Sheela Murthy applaud the House for recognizing the importance of persons from India to the U.S. We hope that the positive relations between the two countries will continue to the benefit of all.
