Hitpal Singh & Pritpal Singh Deol

The "American Dream" is an idea which suggests that all people can succeed through hard work, and that all people have the potential to live happy, successful lives. This concept attributes to most people's desire to immigrate to the United States. Such is the story of the Deol family.

Hitpal Deol was able to immigrate to the United States in 1974 when he married Davinder Takhar who was a naturalized American citizen. Upon becoming a naturalized citizen himself, he sponsored his parents (Darshan Singh and Dawinder Kaur Deol) and three siblings that were living in India (Pritpal, Kiranjit, and Jagdeep) who joined him in December 1978.

In 1990, he sponsored his fourth sibling, Kanwaljit, who had been living in Canada since her marriage. Through his dedication and hard work, initially doing farm labor to becoming a successful entrepreneur, Hitpal is living the "American Dream", as are his parents and siblings.
