From taking the floor to announce all-out support for Donald Trump to reciting Ardaas, Indian Americans attending in large numbers have made their mark on the first day of the high-profile Republican National Convention being held here, days after the party's presumptive presidential candidate survived an assassination bid.
Amidst tight security, the four-day event kicked off on Monday here in the US state of Wisconsin, just two days after a gunman opened fire at a Donald Trump rally in Pennsylvania, grazing his ear.
Indian-American politician Abraham George, elected chairman of the Texas Republican Party in May, took to the floor to announce that all the delegates from his state were voting for Trump, the former president.
Harmeet Dhillon, RNC National Committeewoman from California, recited Ardaas (an appeal to God) at the convention, which will officially nominate the 78-year-old former US president as the party's presidential candidate in the November 5 election.
