 While this is the election year in U.S. — a lot of attention surrounds the presidential race to the White House, and various other elected offices that campaign during the election season.
Sadly there are very, very few elected officials from the Indian American community. And even appointees, by local Mayors and County supervisors, from the Indian-American community are few. As local government in the U.S. operates on civic duties fulfilled by its citizens, unfortunately this aspect of serving in local commissions and boards is sadly lacking in the Indian-American community— hence reflecting the lack of elected representation in any political office.
Narendra Pathak is a shining example of an Indian-American serving his civic duties in the U.S. efficiently and well. On Aug. 31, 2004, he was appointed to the Santa Clara County Board of EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission), a 17-member council liaison position, looking into issues and enforcement of employment policies including issues of discrimination, racism, wrongful termination. Pathak serves as a liaison for the Santa Clara County EEOC, working with cooperating state and federal agencies and the central west zone headoffice in San Francisco. This appointment is another feather in the cap of Narenbhai, as he is called, as he is currently already a Sunnyvale City Commissioner for Housing and Human Services for the past year (appointed by Mayor Julia Miller). The EEOC position is particularly important to the Indian-American population in light of the backlash due to post-9/11 hate crimes and discriminations, including the downturn of the economy. The EEOC is the agency commission which investigates complaints of employment discrimination cases like race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, and disability.
