      She slept her way up the political hierarchy. Her sister had a daughter at 17, and she doesn't know who the father is. Her mother divorced from her hunsband when both her daugters were young. Kamala's father dislikes her and doesn't have a positive word to say about her.
      Right upbringing is the last thing you should associate with Kamala.

    Shyamala's story is incredibly inspiring. Even in today's world, with so much education and freedom, issues like color, gender, and voice still face significant resistance. I can only imagine how challenging it must have been during her time. Her dedication and determination to become a scientist, while raising daughters who defied stereotypes, is truly remarkable. Coming from India, where marriage is often seen as a lifelong commitment and women are typically blamed when it doesn't work out, her courage in all aspects of her life is deeply inspirational.

    4yearw back Kamala shared the same story about her mother, her Indian and Asian upbringing, her Indian roots and I believed that she's really gonna do justice with every human being be it American or for the rest of the world. I don't know if the VP has any power to go against the decisions of the Potus but i didn't find her do much for the people suffering in America and as the VP of the nation which is a super power she has some duty towards the rest of the world as well. What Biden did was just act like a war monger among countries in last 4 years that's the same reason I don't want any democrats to come to power immediately right now. And I hope Kamala keeps speaking about her heritage even after the elections and not use it only before elections to get the votes from asian and indian community there. This is not an educated indian behaviour With due respect to her mother, her family, and India.
    I would definitely be happy to see an Indian American be the president of the United States (being an Indian) but at the same time I don't want the whole world to suffer because of the democratic politics of the US. I just want a mature human being to take that role be it anyone. That person has to think good about Americans and not destroy the peace of rest of the world like what Biden did

    Using her late mother’s memory in politics is a distraction from addressing the real issues that America faces today. Instead of manipulating emotions, she should focus on the urgent need for free education, fixing the broken healthcare system, tackling gun violence, and ensuring that food chain or retail employees receive a fair salary without having to rely on customer tips. It's not the customers' responsibility to make up for corporate shortcomings. Meanwhile, inflation is at an all-time high, adding further strain on everyday Americans. These are the critical issues that demand attention. Stop using indian and black card and now u r using ur belated mother too. someone give her Oscar

You comment reveals so much about you and nothing about her, it was pulled out of your arse. Take a moment, breathe and think about things before putting it out in the world. In her very long and public career, what has she done or said that provoked you to say that? Share the video or the link to the article, I dare you.
