The U.S. India Political Action Committee (USINPAC) was founded in October 2002. USINPAC first set up base in Washington D.C. in the year 2003 before it spread its wings and started its operations in New Delhi in the year 2005. The main reason behind the formation of USINPAC was to present a unified voice to the Congress and impact policies that concern the Indian-American community. USINPAC was founded because there was a need for the Indian-American community to present a unified and consistent voice to the Congress. USINPAC also began working closely with other Indian-American organizations to promote fair and balanced policies, and create a platform to enable the entry of Indian-Americans in the political process. One of the most significant events in USINPAC's history was its success in impacting the passage into law of the US-India civilian nuclear cooperation agreement in 2008. USINPAC was at the forefront of advocating and lobbying the U.S. Congress and Indian policy-makers from the deal's inception in 2005. Over the last ten years, USINPAC has consistently worked to influence policy decisions and act as a watchdog for Indian-Americans. The following are some highlights of USINPAC's achievements over the years: 2010: Popular TV Host Glenn Beck lashed out at the River Ganges in India and Indian Physicians. USINPAC launched a campaign by publicly asking him to apologize by pressuring his network and his advertisers. The next day Glenn Beck apologized for his remarks.
