On what was a historic day for Houston, Texas, Harris County Judge Manpreet Monica Singh, of Indian origin, became the first female Sikh judge in the US, reported ABC 13.
"Mama we made it! It is a `true honor` to rep the people of Harris County as a Sikh civil court judge. Thank you to everyone for making this a historic moment, one that someday won`t be an uncommon event - because there will be a judiciary that includes countless Sikh people and other minorities. I`m ready to put my 2 decades of experience to good use," wrote Manpreet Monica Singh in a Facebook post.
