Who is Tulsi Gabbard? 

The appointment of Tulsi Gabbard, the first non-Indian Hindu leader, as the director of the US National Intelligence Agency by newly elected President Donald Trump is being seen as a sign of a major change in traditional American politics.

Gabbard, who has deep faith in the traditions and customs of Hinduism, has not only been a strong supporter of further strengthening the existing strategic relations between India and America, but from time to time she has also spoken openly about Hindu interests. Under her leadership, cooperation between India and America against terrorism is likely to increase. In fact, cooperation between the two countries is constantly increasing in this area.

Tulsi Gabbard was born in American Samoa (an island of America's possession in the South Pacific Ocean) and her mother Carol Gabbard was inclined towards Hinduism. She has given Hindu names to her children. By the time she reached adolescence, Tulsi had completely adopted Hinduism.
