The Indian-Canadians more than doubled their representation in the Canadian parliament from eight to 19, as Canadians voted out the Conservative Party in a landslide of 184 seats in the 338-member House to the Liberal Party on Monday.
For a record, among the winners are five Sikh women and five turbaned Sikhs.
While longest-serving MP Deepak Obhrai won for the seventh time from Calgary Forest Lawn, outgoing ministers of state Bal Gosal, Tim Uppal and four-time MP Nina Grewal were prominent Indian-Canadians who lost the elections.
While Minister of state Bal Gosal lost to fellow Indian-Canadian Ramesh Sangha of the Liberal Party in Brampton Centre, and minister of state Tim Uppal was beaten in Fleetwood-Port Kells in Alberta.
But the biggest surprise was created by Darshan Kang of the Liberal Party by winning the Calgary Skyview seat for his party in 50 years by beating fellow Indian-Canadians Devinder Shory of the Conservative Party and Sahajvir Singh Randhawa of the NDP.
Most Indian-Canadian victories came in Canada's biggest province of Ontario as many seats in Brampton and Mississauga cities went to the Indian-Canadian candidates.
