"Jai Shri Krishna": Kash Patel’s Traditional Gestures at FBI Confirmation Spark Pride Among Desis

Kash Patel, Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI Director, is earning praise on social media for his respectful display of "sanskaar" during his confirmation hearing. The video that captured him touching his parents' feet has gone viral, showcasing the Indian-origin lawyer’s deep-rooted cultural values.

Born to Gujarati parents, Kash Patel, a former prosecutor, faced a lengthy five-hour hearing as part of his confirmation process. However, it was his gesture of paying respect to his parents that resonated with many. One user on X shared the clip, noting, "This is love—surely for the first time anyone in that Congressional chamber has touched someone's feet to show respect. Kash Patel touched his parents' feet as soon as he entered for his confirmation hearing. Sanskaar!"

In the video, Patel can be seen bowing down to touch the feet of his parents, a traditional gesture of respect. While HT.com could not independently verify the video, it has garnered significant attention.

Social Media Reactions:

Users were quick to express their admiration. One remarked, "Never forget your roots," while another wrote, "Well brought up. That’s why I love Gujaratis—greeting each other with 'Jai Shri Krishna' always." A third added, "Wow. I didn’t think I could love him more. His parents must be so proud!!"

A Heartfelt Traditional Greeting:

Another memorable moment from the hearing involved Patel’s introduction of his parents. He said, “I’d like to welcome my father, Pramod, and my mother, Anjana, who are sitting here today. They travelled here from India. My sister, Nisha, is also here. She also traveled across the oceans just to be with me. It means the world that you guys are here. Jai Shri Krishna."

Patel, during his Senate Judiciary Committee appearance, addressed questions about the FBI's proposed overhaul and his loyalty to President Trump.
