The appointment of Indian -origin Kash Patel’s Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has almost been appointed. In an important hearing held at the US Capital Hill on Thursday, Kash Patel attended his confirmation hearing before the US Senate Judicial Committee. During this, Kash Patel’s maternal uncle Prem Sharan Amin saw live with family in Vidyanagar, Gujarat. He said that the firmness of his nephew is not surprising and the whole family is feeling proud of his success. If Kash Patel is confirmed, he will be the first Indian-American and Hindu to become the director of FBI. His full name is Kashyap Patel.
Made identity with his own hard work
The 69 -year -old Prem Sharan Amin, who is currently in India, told in a conversation with The Indian Express that Kash Patel is completely ‘self -made’ and his family has no political relations, whether it is India or America. He said, “We saw his hearing from 8 pm to 1:40 pm. Kashyap started his career as a public defender at Miami-Did, where he defended the accused in drug cases. It was from here that he got a deep understanding of the US judicial system. ”
He further said, “Later he went to Washington DC, where the Obama administration appointed him as a senior advisor to the selection committee of the Congress on security and anti-terrorism matters. He has a lot of experience in anti-terrorism campaigns. ”
Family tradition and association with Indian culture
During the hearing, Kashyap Patel greeted his parents as ‘Jai Shri Krishna’ and took blessings by touching his feet as soon as the hearing was over. His sister Nisha was also with him. Amin said, “Kashyap’s mother Anjana and father Pramod were on leave in India when their confirmation date was fixed. He was in Vadodara, but returned to America in time. Nisha lives in London and was present there on this important occasion of her brother. ”
He said that Kashyap is deeply connected to Indian culture and follows Hindu traditions even while living in America. His inclination is towards devotion to Shiva, Hanuman and Ganesh and a separate temple location in his apartment in Washington DC is dedicated.
Family roots and migration in America
Amin said that Kashyap’s family is from Anand district of Gujarat, but his parents migrated to America in 1971 from Uganda. He said, “Pramod Patel was an accountant in Jinja city of Uganda, but in 1971 he moved to America via Canada due to its political instability there. In 1977, he came to India and married my sister Anjana and then settled in America. ”
Amin further said that his family was earlier in Janjibar and Tanga in Tanzania, but later he came to India. “I moved to America in 1985 and later my mother and younger brother also came there. Now the entire family is inhabited in America, but we come to India every year. ”
I wish enthusiasm on appointment of Patel
Kash Patel’s appointment process is still going on, and the family is enthusiastic with the possibility of becoming a FBI director. Amin said, “We are waiting for this big opportunity. This is the result of his hard work and struggle. ” If this appointment is completed, Kashyap Patel will be the first Indian-USA to become the director of FBI in the history of America, which will add another historical achievement to the Indians.
During the hearing, Kashyap said that his father had escaped from Idi Amin’s dictatorship in Uganda, where 3,00,000 people were killed on their ethnicity basis. “My mother is from Tanzania, she studied in India and married there. He later came to New York where I was born. “
