The office of Congressman Joe Crowley, one of the founding

members of the Caucus and its current Co-Chair from the Democratic Party said that he is working on increasing the membership of the caucus. "There has been a lot of turnover in the past few years in Congress (such as retirements), and since there are a significant number of new members in the 113th Congress, Congressman Crowley believes this is the perfect time to share information about the caucus with his colleagues and encourage them to learn more about the US-India relationship," Courtney Gidner, Congressman Crowley's spokesperson said. "He is definitely focused working at getting a lot more members to join, and is excited to make it happen," Gidner told
