Supporting the designation of Vaisakhi, April 14 of each year, as "National Sikh Day".
HRES 275 is a non-binding House resolution supporting the designation of Vaisakhi (April 14 each year) as "National Sikh Day" to honor the Sikh community's contributions to U.S. diversity and history. It recognizes the Sikh community's role in fostering social justice, charitable work, and inclusive values since their immigration over 100 years ago. The resolution does not create a legal holiday but formally acknowledges Vaisakhi's significance as the founding day of the Khalsa in 1699 and the community's ongoing enrichment of American society. It directly affects the Sikh community by providing symbolic national recognition of their cultural and religious heritage.
