据印度新闻社报道,在美国针对印度裔美国人的反对言论日益高涨之际,由联邦众议员拉贾·克里希纳穆尔蒂牵头的256名议员周一在众议院提出一项决议,以表彰该群体对国家发展的贡献。

Amid growing anti-Indian American rhetoric in the United States, a group of 256 lawmakers led by Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi introduced a resolution in the House of Representatives on Monday to honour the community's contributions to the country's growth, news agency Press Trust of India reported.

该决议还支持将7月指定为“印度裔美国人传承月”。这一月份标志着1946年7月2日,时任总统哈里·S·杜鲁门签署《卢斯-塞勒法案》,使印度裔人士有资格入籍成为美国公民。

The resolution also supports designating July as Indian-American Heritage Month. The month marks theg of the Luce-Celler Act by President Harry S Truman on July 2, 1946, which made people of Indian descent eligible for naturalisation as American citizens.

美国拥有超过520万印度裔美国人,他们构成了该国宗教信仰最多元的群体之一。

决议称:“印度裔美国人在商业、创业、高等教育、经济学术、新闻、文学和慈善事业等领域卓有建树,为美国的经济实力、智力生活和全球领导地位作出了贡献。”

据印度新闻社报道,克里希纳穆尔蒂在一份声明中说:“我很自豪能带领256位同事将7月指定为印度裔美国人传承月,以表彰这一传承,并庆祝印度裔美国人持续以多种方式丰富我们国家。”

The US is home to more than 5.2 million Indian Americans, who form one of the country's most religiously diverse communities.“Indian Americans have distinguished themselves in business, entrepreneurship, higher education, economic scholarship, journalism, literature, and philanthropy, contributing to the economic strength, intellectual life, and global leadership of the United States,” the resolution said.“I'm proud to lead 256 of my colleagues in designating July as Indian American Heritage Month to honour that legacy and celebrate the many ways Indian Americans continue to enrich our country,” Krishnamoorthi said in a statement, according to PTI.

该决议赞扬了该群体在科学与医学、技术与商业、公共服务与军队、教育与慈善、艺术与文化以及体育等领域的贡献。同时也肯定了印度裔美国人的宗教与文化多样性,以及历代社区成员为国家文化、经济和公民生活作出的贡献。

The resolution celebrates the community's contributions to science and medicine, technology and business, public service and the military, education and philanthropy, arts and culture, and athletics. It also honours the religious and cultural diversity of Indian Americans and generations of community members who have contributed to the country's cultural, economic and civic life.

该决议出台之际,美国针对印度裔美国人的反对言论有所上升,包括在得克萨斯州等州的中期选举竞选活动期间。

The resolution comes as anti-Indian American rhetoric rises in the US, including during campaigning for the midterm elections in states such as Texas.

本月早些时候,执法部门逮捕了一名19岁嫌疑人,指控其企图在伊利诺伊州一座印度教寺庙实施大规模枪击。

Earlier this month, law enforcement authorities arrested a 19-year-old accused of attempting a mass shooting at a Hindu temple in Illinois.

据印度报业托拉斯(PTI)报道,克里希纳穆尔蒂当时正在芝加哥附近奥罗拉市的斯里·文卡特斯瓦拉·斯瓦米神庙,嫌疑人据称计划在那里实施枪击,但因霰弹枪卡壳而未遂。

Krishnamoorthi was at the Sri Venkateswara Swami temple in Aurora, near Chicago, when the accused allegedly planned to carry out the shooting but failed because his shotgun jammed, PTI reported.A Carnegie Endowment survey found that 48 per cent of Indian American respondents had encountered racist posts targeting their community very or somewhat often since the start of 2025.

卡内基国际和平基金会的一项调查发现,自2025年初以来,48%的印度裔美国受访者表示“非常频繁”或“比较频繁”地遇到针对其社区的种族主义帖子。四分之一的受访者报告称曾被辱骂为种族歧视用语。

One in four respondents reported being called a slur.

该众议院决议旨在肯定逾520万印度裔美国人的贡献与多元性,同时纪念1946年允许印度裔人士归化为美国公民的法律。

The House resolution seeks to recognise the contributions and diversity of more than 5.2 million Indian Americans while commemorating the 1946 law that allowed people of Indian descent to become naturalised US citizens.
