Column: Dear Indian community, we are not immune to gun violence

A columnist has written an open letter to the Indian community in the United States, emphasizing that no group is immune to gun violence. The piece argues that recent mass shootings and everyday gun incidents should prompt the community to engage more actively in the national conversation on firearm safety.

The columnist points out that while the Indian diaspora often feels insulated from such violence, data and recent events show otherwise. The letter calls for a collective acknowledgment of the issue rather than a dismissive attitude.

The column also encourages readers to participate in advocacy and policy discussions, stressing that silence or indifference can be harmful. It concludes with a call for unity and proactive measures to address gun violence as a shared American problem.
