Milind Makwana, according to his close friends and family, spoke at the City Council meeting on July 18 against SB403, the anti-caste discrimination bill in California State Assembly.
The governor's move has been welcomed by a large segment of the Indian-American community who were opposing the bill.
In an unprecedented move the California state assembly has passed a resolution, recognising August 15 as India's Independence Day and urged all Californians to celebrate the diversity of cultures.
It was a proud moment for Aparna Hande when she walked along with California Assemblyman Tony Mendoza to receive the California 56 assembly district woman of the year award, in a ceremony held on the floor of the California state assembly, Sacramento, March 26.
'The resolution is the first time that any state, nation or investigative body has declared that the Indian government was responsible for the 1984 genocide of Sikhs.'
For the third time in a row the California state legislature passed a resolution to declare November as Sikh Awareness and Appreciation month. This year the resolution was proposed by Assembly Member Bob Wieckowski (Democrat, Fremont).
