?||Will India have anything special Kamala Harris?||
The euphoria in India over Democratic Party presidential candidate Joe Bidens selection of senator Kamala Harris as his vice-presidential running mate is amusing. From politicians to plebeians, from newspaper headlines to tweets, legions have expressed their pride and joy over an Indian" woman who could be vice-president of the United States come January 2021, and even president, given that the 77-year-old Biden may not seek a second term. That would place Harris as a front-runner for the 2024 elections.
Her Tamil Iyer genealogy has already been dissected. By the time this column appears in print, countless third cousins and neighbours of long-gone aunts would have been tracked down, and many of them would have happily recounted half- or fully-imagined details of the times they met the young Kamala on her visits to Chennai.
Is this some sort of deep inferiority complex that our still-colonized minds suffer from, this need for constant validation from the Western world? Harris described herself as African-American" in the US census, not Asian- Indian". And that is entirely her choice, be it for personal or political reasons. She ticked that box, knowing fully well that her Indian-born mother and Jamaican-born father had divorced when she was a child, and she was raised by her mother.
