As of now, a majority of India-American stands with @realDonaldTrump
We understand that @POTUS and @narendramodi are political buddies. They have established a great rapport and this would swing Indian-American voters their way.
This is what the opposition also understands

If you remember, @narendramodi had famously and controversially said at the Houston event last year that the next government would be Trump’s
This statement was a big departure from the unwritten rules of diplomacy - not to take sides in political contests of other nations.

Rising on #IdentityPolitics but it has created a confusion on her being - Indian-Asian-Jamaican or Indian-American or African-American or a Woman-of-Colour.

The #KamalaHarris is the daughter of a Chennai-born mother, Shyamala Gopalan, who arrived in the US in 1960 to pursue cancer research and a Jamaican-origin father, Donald Harris, who retired as an economics professor from the premier Stanford University.
Does it matter now?

#KamalaHarris interestingly identifies herself as a Black! with Caribbean ancestry - Jamaican-origin father, Donald Harris.
Though she acknowledges her mother as Indian, and her ties to Chennai is well documented, rarely has she referred to her Indian ancestry.

#KamalaHarris selection has generated mixed reactions from about 3.9 million Indian-Americans, both Republicans and indecisive voters, who believe she lacks understanding of what she stands for and does not consider herself as a woman of Indian origin.
Is she #ProIndia ?

#KamalaHarris has been know as African-American candidate rather than Indian-American!
The love for the lage Indian vote bank makes her project her Indian origin
If media reports are anything to go by, Harris would want to garner Indian votes, if not Asian
It may not happen

#KamalaHarris was critical of the situation that emerged in Kashmir after the revocation of #Article370
We have to remind the Kashmiris that they are not alone in the world. We are keeping a track on the situation. There is a need to intervene if the situation demands

When India revoked the autonomy of Indian-administered Kashmir, #KamalaHarris had a warning for New Delhi.

The roots have in it ! #KamalaHarris's uncle Gopalan Balachandran told the Hindustan Times, Harris likes India. But that doesn’t mean she gives a free pass to everything that India does.

#KamalaHarris also backed a Democratic Senator Pramila Jayapal’s resolution urging the Indian government to lift restrictions on Kashmir.
..And Yes!
It is also important to note that Harris did not attend the much-hyped #HowdyModi event at Houston, Texas.

#KamalaHarris has always claimed to be of #AfricanDescent rather than Indian.
Most importantly, most of the #ProIndia forces in USA believe that her record as an attorney in California is highly questionable. She has in fact promoted corruption in California
