Interview with Senator Manka Dhingra
As the first Sikh elected to a State Senate, Manka Dhingra is on well on her way to a successful political career in her hometown of Redmond, Washington in the suburbs of Seattle. In the 2nd edition of Sikh Meets World, we talk with the recently-elected State Senator to understand her American story and what drove her into public office. 

We sat down for a wide-ranging interview with New Jersey Attorney General, Gurbir Singh Grewal in our Sikh Meets World podcast. 

Attorney General Grewal is the highest-ranking Sikh public official in the United States since Congressman Dalip Singh Saund, also the first Asian American Congressman, who served in the late 1950s. 

In the hour-long interview, the Attorney General shares his childhood struggles with bullying & harassment, his motivation for pursuing public service and law enforcement, and his unlikely path to the heights of New Jersey politics.
