File:NHD FINAL ESSAY.PDF

To Whom it May Concern: My name is Navtej Kathuria, I am an 8th grade student at Evergreen Middle School in Redmond, Washington. In my advanced History class, we were assigned to take part in the national competition, NHD. NHD, or National History Day is a well known competition which focuses on building students research, comprehension and analysis abilities. The competition is to choose a topic related to the yearly theme and present information about it in a condensed, requirement-strict format. This year’s theme was: “Taking A Stand in History.” I chose to write a 2500 word paper on Sirdar Jagjit Singh and the Luce-Celler Act of 1946. My paper describes the tireless efforts of Sirdar Jagjit Singh to open up immigration from India to the United States. Sirdar Jagjit Singh was an instrumental figure in the passage of the act. This paper may be of interest to your readers. As such, if you are interested to publish this paper on your website, please let me know. I am happy to email it to you in case you would like to read/review it prior to making a decision. Thank you, Navtej Singh Kathuria Evergreen Middle School 8th Grade Quest Redmond, WA
