A truly proud moment for the Indian diaspora and something the desi community in general I.e., Pakistanis, Bangladeshiz and Afghans and all immigrant groups must support.

India’s diversity and global reach is astonishing. Trump can’t deal with this.

If you have heard the views of Mamdani about Modi, how will Modi's next trip to NYC pan out, as Mamdani is now the mayor?

Trump Vs.Mamdani, the battle begins...

The devil Cheney died today, mayor is now Muslim of one of the most influential cities in the modern world- same city after 24 years since 9/11 which same Cheney that died today used as an excuse to enter the Middle East and shed blood there and when anti Muslim sentiment was at its peak. Which person in the world would have thought then that the mayor in a few years would be Muslim?

tide can turn very fast. 24 years is nothing in the context of human history let alone world history.

He has the blood of the Khalifas and the Ancient Sanatani Brahmins in him. The fire of Dharma burns bright in him.

Indians are definitely making their mark in US politics now, every year the influence grows. Can’t deny that

But the hate for Indians is also growing. Indians have become the poster boys of MAGA hatred for all immigrants. A tricky time for the community who continue to remain targets of hate crimes and racial abuse. It’s not going to be easy as the West falls.

In the Bible Belt, yes, there will be potential backlash as Indian and desi influence in general grows there in politics.

However more and more Indians and desis are moving to southern states and beginning to mix with locals, this will be important in terms of bringing familiarity and debunking whatever vitriol the average republican sees on Fox, or their favorite right wing YouTube channel / stream

In more liberal states like Cali, Nevada, Jersey, NY etc I don’t think that’s the case anymore. Those places have pretty much become a blend of races in the majority to white folk who are also open minded and more leaning toward being dems

While I have not supported the views of Mamdani on government grocery stores, free bus rides or defunding the police, he is less of a racist than the typical MAGA folks which is needed for the more diverse NY diaspora. Its a democracy and people have the right to chose and Trump and his team should stop the antics and deal with it.

And Mamdani is far better than the Somali contestants who speak nothing but anti-trump. Mamdani addressed the burning issues in NYC such as high rents, inflation costs, crime rate etc though his views may/may not work, but those resonated with the public there.

This should be a wake up call for both Republicans and Democrats. For democrats to see that their tariffs talk and MAGA thing is not working with actual people on the ground. And for Democrats to see whats actually working - its not the LGBTQ and extreme leftists views but addressing the important ones concerning daily life. Interesting times ahead.
