Biographical Note
Born in Chhajulwadi, Amritsar district, Punjab Province, British India, Dalip Singh Saund (1899-1973) immigrated to the United
States to study at the University of California Berkeley, where he earned a PhD in mathematics in 1924. Saund married Marian
Kosa in 1928. Over the next two decades, the Saund's raised three children in the Imperial Valley, where he established himself
as a farmer and fertilizer distributor.
Saund was a vocal advocate for Indian independence, and in 1930, he wrote and published
My Mother India, in order to bring attention to the inequities of the caste system of India, likening it to racism in the United States.
Federal law at the time prevented him from becoming a U.S. citizen and becoming more involved with local politics. In the
early 1940s, he helped organize efforts to open citizenship to South Asian immigrants, founding the India Association of America.
With the passage of the 1946 Luce-Celler Act, Saund became a United States citizen in 1949.
The next year, Saund was elected to the Imperial County Democratic Central Committee and ran for a judgeship in the Westmoreland
Judicial District in Imperial county in California. He won, but his election was vacated because he had not yet been a citizen
for a full year. Two years later, in 1952, Saund was elected judge of the same court and served until his resignation on January
1, 1957, when he took office as a member of the United States House of Representatives, for the 29th District of California.
Saund was the first Sikh American, first South Asian American, and first member of a non-Abrahamic faith to hold an elected
office in the United States Congress.
While in Congress, Saund served on the Foreign Affairs Committee, the Interior and Insular Affairs Committee, as a delegate
to the Inter-Parliamentary Union Conference, and was named vice chairman of a large congressional delegation participating
in the Mexico-United States Inter-Parliamentary Group. He also remained a strong advocate for his district's specific interests.
He helped veterans and their families access benefits, worked to secure millions in funding for the March Air Force Base and
the Naval Auxiliary Air Station and the Corona Naval Ordnance Laboratory, collaborated with committee chairmen to fund flood
control projects, won funding for irrigation efforts on American Indian land, opened new post offices, built new roads, improved
Imperial Valley airports, assisted scientists developing new strains of cotton, and worked to protect the Bracero farm labor
program.
While running for a fourth term in 1962, Saund suffered a stroke while traveling from Los Angeles to D.C. He stayed in the
race while recovering in the hospital, even winning the Democratic primary, but lost the general election. He died after suffering
a second stroke on April 22, 1973.
