A woman of Indian origin, Pam Gosal, has created history in Scotland. She has becoming the first Indian woman to get elected to Scottish Parliament. Gosal was elected on a Conservative Party ticket from West Scotland. She is the Deputy Chairperson of the Conservative Women’s Organisation of Scotland.
In a tweet, Gosal said: “It’s a privilege to be the first female Member of Scotland Parliament from an Indian background. Thank you everyone who’s supported me. Can’t wait to get to work for the people of West Scotland.”
Gosal’s roots are said to be from Bhatinda (Punjab). She is the director of the Conservative Friends of India Scotland. The organisation seeks to build strong ties between the Conservative Party and the British Indian community in Scotland.
Born in Glasgow, Gosal helped her family business before working in the local government prior to being elected to Parliament. A graduate and an MBA in Consumer Law, she is currently pursuing a PhD.
