Subtitle D—Gandhi-King Scholarly 
Exchange Initiative Act 
SEC. 331. SHORT TITLE. 
This subtitle may be cited as the ‘‘Gandhi-King Scholarly 
Exchange Initiative Act’’. 
SEC. 332. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) The peoples of the United States and India have a 
long history of friendship and the interests of the peoples 
of the United States, India, and the world will benefit from 
a stronger United States-India partnership. 
(2) Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Martin Luther 
King, Jr., were dedicated leaders fighting for social justice 
and social change, peace, and civil rights in their respective 
communities, and countries and in the world. 
(3) The use of nonviolent civil disobedience is a shared 
tactic that has played a key role in defeating social injustice 
in India, the United States, and in other parts of the world. 
(4) Mohandas Gandhi, who was born on October 2, 1869, 
was murdered on January 30, 1948, after dedicating his life 
to the peaceful empowerment of the people of India and to 
the end of British colonial rule. 
(5) Martin Luther King, Jr., who was born on January 
15, 1929, was murdered on April 4, 1968, after a life dedicated 
to peaceful movements against segregation, discrimination, 
racial injustice, and poverty. 
(6) In February 1959, Dr. King and his wife, Coretta Scott 
King, traveled throughout India. By the end of his monthlong 
visit, Dr. King said, ‘‘I am more convinced than ever before 
that the method of nonviolent resistance is the most potent 
weapon available to oppressed people in their struggle for jus-
tice and human dignity.’’. 
(7) Fifty years after Dr. King’s visit, All India Radio, the 
national radio station of India, discovered a taped message 
by Dr. King that emphasized the intellectual harmony between 
the messages of Dr. King and Mohandas Gandhi on nonviolent 
social action. 
(8) On August 22, 2011, the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., 
National Memorial opened to the public in Washington, DC. 
This newest memorial on the National Mall pays tribute to 
Dr. King’s national and international contributions to world 
peace through nonviolent social change. 
(9) The 116th Congress coincides with both the 150th birth 
anniversary of Mohandas Gandhi and the 90th birth anniver-
sary of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 
(10) Mohandas Gandhi, who employed the principle of 
satyagraha, or ‘‘fighting with peace’’, has come to represent 
the moral force inspiring many civil and social rights movement 
around the world. 
(11) Dr. King’s effective use of Gandhi’s principles was 
instrumental to the American civil rights movement. 
(12) There is a long history of civil and social rights move-
ments in the United States and in India. As the relationship 
between the United States and India evolves, a binational
H. R. 133—1934 
foundation through which the governments of each country 
can work together and catalyze private investment toward 
development objectives would provide an ongoing, productive 
institution and symbol of the friendship and common ideals 
of the respective governments and their peoples. 
(13) There is a global goal of ending tuberculosis by 2030, 
the United States and India seek a TB-Free India by 2025, 
and the United States-India Gandhi-King Development Founda-
tion, as described in this subtitle, could help address gaps 
across the TB value chain in prevention, detection, diagnosis, 
and treatment, and catalyze market-based strategies to bridge 
the service gap for the ‘‘last mile’’. 
(14) Leaders in both countries have prioritized the United 
States-India relationship and continue to support a strength-
ened United States-India partnership, recognizing that it will 
be one of the defining partnerships of the 21st century. 
SEC. 333. GANDHI-KING SCHOLARLY EXCHANGE INITIATIVE. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—In order to further the shared ideals and 
values of Mohandas Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr, the Sec-
retary of State should establish, in cooperation with the appropriate

The initiative should be comprised of the following:

United States and India that focuses on the social justice and

tin Luther King, Jr., which should—

India; 
(B) include representatives from governments, non-
governmental organizations, civic organizations, and edu-
cational, cultural, women’s, civil, and human rights groups, 
including religious and ethnic minorities and marginalized 
communities; and 
(C) focus on studying the works of Gandhi and King, 
and applying their philosophies of nonviolent resistance 
to addressing current issues, including poverty alleviation, 
conflict mitigation, human and civil rights challenges, ref-
ugee crises, and threats to democracy and democratic 
norms in countries around the world. 
(2) An undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate student 
exchange for students in the United States and India to— 
(A) study the history and legacies of Martin Luther 
King, Jr., and Mohandas Gandhi; and 
(B) research, develop, and recommend best practices 
relating to peace, nonviolence, and reconciliation in current 
conflict regions. 
(b) SUNSET.—The authorities provided under this section shall 
terminate on the date that is five years after the date of enactment 
of this Act. 
SEC. 334. GANDHI-KING GLOBAL ACADEMY. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—The president and chief executive officer of 
the United States Institute of Peace should create a professional 
development training initiative on conflict resolution tools based 
on the principles of nonviolence. Such training initiative shall be
