Himanshu Gulati is an Indian-Norwegian politician who is currently a member of the European Parliament. He is also a leading voice in the fight for climate justice. In this blog post, we will explore Gulati's story and how he is leading from the front on climate change.

Who is Himanshu Gulati?

Himanshu Gulati is an Indian-Norwegian politician who is climbing Europe’s political ladder. Gulati was born in India and moved to Norway when he was nine years old. He has a degree in business administration from the Norwegian School of Economics. Gulati is a member of the Labour Party and has been elected to the Storting, Norway’s parliament, three times. In 2013, Gulati was appointed as the Norwegian government’s Minister of Fisheries. Gulati is a strong advocate for increased cooperation between India and Norway.

Gulati's political career in Norway

After moving to Norway in 2002, Gulati became involved in local politics. He was elected as a member of Asker municipality council in 2007 and has been re-elected twice. In 2011, he was also elected as the deputy mayor of Asker. Gulati has been a member of the Norwegian Labour Party since 2006.

In 2013, Gulati was elected as a member of Oslo City Council. He has since been re-elected and is currently the vice-chair of the city council’s education committee. Gulati is also a board member of the Oslo Public Transport Board and the Nordland County Council.

In addition to his political career, Gulati is also a qualified lawyer and has worked as a legal adviser for the Norwegian Labour Party since 2013.

Gulati's plans for the future

Himanshu Gulati has big plans for the future. The young Indian-Norwegian politician is determined to make a difference in Europe and beyond.

In the short term, Gulati is focused on winning a seat in the European Parliament. He is currently campaigning hard in Norway, where he is hoping to secure one of the country's top spots on the European Parliament ballot. If successful, Gulati will become one of the youngest ever members of the European Parliament.

Gulati is also passionate about using his platform to fight for social justice. In particular, he wants to raise awareness about the plight of refugees and migrants. He believes that everyone deserves a chance at a better life, regardless of their background or circumstances.

Looking further ahead, Gulati has his sights set on becoming Norway's Prime Minister. He knows it won't be easy, but he is up for the challenge. Gulati is confident that he has what it takes to lead Norway – and Europe – into a bright future.

The challenges faced by Gulati

Since Gulati moved to Norway in 2002, he has been involved in a number of political organisations. In 2007, he was elected as a deputy representative to the Norwegian Parliament from Oslo. Gulati has also been a member of the Norwegian Labour Party’s central committee and chaired the party’s youth wing in Oslo.

In 2013, Gulati ran for election to the European Parliament, but lost. Despite this setback, Gulati continued his involvement in politics and was elected as a municipal councillor in Oslo in 2015. He has also been active on social media, using it to engage with young people and promote his political views.

Gulati faces several challenges as a politician. Firstly, as an immigrant himself, he is often seen as an outsider by both Norwegians and other immigrants. This can make it difficult for him to gain trust and support from potential voters. Secondly, Gulati is a relatively young politician, and thus lacks experience compared to many of his peers. Finally, because he is not originally from Norway, Gulati sometimes struggles to relate to Norwegian voters on issues that are important to them.

Gulati's advice for other young politicians

If you're looking to get into politics, Gulati has some advice. First and foremost, he says, you need to be passionate about the issues you care about. "You need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve and why," he explains. "And then you need to be very persistent."

In addition to being passionate and persistent, Gulati says it's also important to be strategic. "You need to have a plan and know how to execute it," he says. "You can't just go in there and wing it."

Finally, Gulati says it's important to remember that politics is a team sport. "You can't do everything by yourself," he says. "You need to build a strong team of supporters who believe in your vision and are willing to work hard to help you achieve it."

Conclusion

In a world where politicians are often accused of being out of touch, Himanshu Gulati is a refreshing change. As a young, Indian-Norwegian politician, he is quickly climbing Europe’s political ladder and is an inspiration to those who believe that anyone can achieve their dreams if they set their mind to it. No matter what your background or where you come from, Gulati shows us that anything is possible with hard work and dedication.

Meet Amar Singh, the Indian-origin Sikh named Australian of the Year

  “A co-worker once told me I looked like a terrorist. While simply going about my daily life, strangers on the street have asked me if I’m carrying a bomb, or what I’m hiding under my turban. It saddened me that my turban, my spiritual crown, the most sacred object on my body, had become an object of fear. My experiences of discrimination were far from the accepting multicultural Australian society I had known and loved since I arrived here (Australia) as a fifteen-year-old,” Amar Singh writes on the website of   Turbans for Australia , a Sikh-led charity organisation that helps Australians in need. The organisation was Amar’s answer to hate as he wanted Australians to see Sikhs as people who could be trusted and turned to in times of need. Seven years later, the Sikh volunteer has been honoured with the 2023 New South Wales Australian of the Year Award for supporting the community during floods, bushfires, drought, and the pandemic.
