The New York Post runs a story that clearly illustrates this truth. Whatever negative things could surface about people damaging their political future, they will come to light in this web-searchable age.
Someone tracked down a 12 year old interview of Zohran Mamdani's mother in an Indian newspaper.
Mamdani’s mother, Mira Nair, made the remarks in a 2013 interview with the Hindustan Times when she was asked about her then-21-year-old son’s upbringing. “He is a total desi,” Nair told the outlet, referring to the Hindi and Urdu term used to describe those of Indian descent.
“We are not firangs at all. He is very much us. He is not an Uhmericcan (American) at all,” she continued.
“He was born in Uganda, raised between India and America. He is at home in many places. He thinks of himself as a Ugandan and as an Indian.” The term “firangs” is often used informally in the Hindi and Urdu language to refer to foreigners.
At the time of the 2013 interview, son Zohran was a student at Bowdoin College in Maine.
