The people of Thulasendrapuram in southern India, Kamala Harris’ ancestral village, are excited and proud of her run for the US presidency. Harris, the daughter of Indian immigrants, has close ties to the village and has visited it in the past. The villagers have celebrated her previous achievements and are planning to do so again if she wins the presidency. Indian Americans, both in the US and in India, are also supportive of Harris’ campaign, reflecting the pride in her accomplishments. Harris has spoken about her Indian heritage and the influence of her Indian grandfather on her political journey. Even though Harris has not made any official visits to India as vice president, the village in Thulasendrapuram continues to support her. Indian Americans are becoming more prominent in US politics, with several Indian Americans currently serving in Congress. The Indian American community in the US is mobilizing to support Harris in her presidential campaign, with the potential to make an impact in battleground states. While Harris’ heritage is a source of pride for many, there are also expectations for her to support India’s interests if elected president. Harris’ lack of foreign policy background raises questions about potential changes to US-India relations under her presidency. Overall, the villagers in Thulasendrapuram are eagerly waiting for the election results and are prepared to celebrate if Harris wins.
