Zohran Mamdani, a Ugandan born Indian-American, son of the National Award and Padma Bhushan winning film maker Mira Nair is on the verge of being elected as the mayor of New York city. This should be a moment of pride for Indians everywhere but the lunatic fringe ....err mainstream now has already started haranguing him and belittling his achievements simply because he happens to be a Muslim. Dire times for New York are being predicted by the andhbhakts ; people who have never travelled beyond their own village are concerned about the future of a city they will probably never see in their lives. False propaganda was being spread by Hindutva protagonists abroad about London going down the rabbit hole after it elected a Muslim mayor a decade ago, it's as if the whole of UK has been turned into a giant madrasa. The unrelenting idiocy of the Hindu right-wing continues with breathtaking audacity . Where they could have had an influential friend in the mayor's office, they are going out of their way to literally 'engineer' a foe. All on account of his surname.
