TO WASHINGTON (By Joseph Laitin) (The new Representative from California is a Sikh. a disciple of Gandhi. and a twofisted peacemaker turned farmer and businessman. As the first native of India ever elected to Congress. he considers himself a living example of democracy at work.) The 20yearold Sikh in a snowwhite turban that set off his sensitive. darkskinned features told the immigration inspector on Ellis Island in clipped British accents that he came from Amritsar. India. and that he wanted to enter an American university. The official validated his students visa for a permanent stay. That was 38 years ago. Today.
