A child reacts as villagers hold placards featuring U.S. Vice President-elect Kamala Harris after participating in special prayers ahead of her inauguration, outside a Hindu temple in Thulasendrapuram, the hometown of Harris' maternal grandfather, south of Chennai, Tamil Nadu state, India, Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2021.
Groups of women in bright saris and men wearing white dhoti pants watched the inauguration live as reporters broadcast the villager’s celebrations to millions of Indians. The villagers chanted “Long live Kamala Harris” while holding portraits of her and blasted off fireworks the moment she took the oath.
“We are feeling very proud that an Indian is being elected as the vice president of America,” said teacher Anukampa Madhavasimhan.At the prayer ceremony in Thulasendrapuram, the idol of Hindu deity Ayyanar, a form of Lord Shiva, was washed with milk and decked with flowers by a priest. Then the village reverberated with the sound firecrackers as people held up posters of Harris and clapped their hands.
In several speeches, Harris has often spoken about her roots and how she was guided by the values of her Indian-born grandfather and mother. Posters and banners of Harris from November still adorn walls in the village and many hope she ascends to the presidency in 2024. Biden has skirted questions about whether he will seek reelection or retire.

She’s not African American?
That’s a shame, she identifies and black these days, she has turned her back on her Indian heritage. Likely only till it’s Convenient again.

Wow One Person Gotta be a record
Her mother ‘married a Jamaican man’, that’s it? 🙄 Harris' father, Donald J. Harris, is a Stanford University professor emeritus of economics, who arrived in the United States from British Jamaica in 1961 for graduate study at UC Berkeley, receiving a PhD in economics in 1966.
IT IS A SOUTH ASIAN VILLAGE!!!!! Must keep the CCP happy.
More relevant than anything today...is this....Kamala Harisses grandfather served the Govt of India under 'secular Nehru'...while today India is run by a Communal mob that sided with the British during the Freedom struggle...and is destroying democracy under a brown Hitler.
