Kamala Harris pens heartfelt note to Indian grandparents

Published on

US Vice President Kamala Harris penned a heartfelt note for her grandparents on the occasion of Grandparents' Day, and said their commitment to public service and fight for a better future live on in her.
Harris on Sunday wrote about her grandfather, a retired civil servant who had been part of the movement to win India's independence and her grandmother, who spread awareness among women about accessing birth control.

Meanwhile, Ajay Bhutoria, a leader in the South Asian community and National Finance Committee member for Harris for President, has released a Bollywood-themed song titled Nacho Nacho for Harris ahead of the presidential polls this year. The song aims to energise nearly 5 million South Asian voters in key battleground states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Georgia, Nevada, and Arizona.

"Vice President Harris is running for the future and to turn the page on the division of Donald Trump," Bhutoria said. "She is a symbol of hope and representation for more than 4.4 million Indian Americans. We are using Bollywood music to unite and engage our community in this critical election."

The song, produced by Ritesh Parikh and performed by Shibani Kashyap, includes messages from community leaders in Telugu, Tamil, Gujarati, Punjabi, and Hindi.

Ritesh commented, "Kamala Harris is a unifying figure, much like Bollywood. Her journey resonates with our community and represents the diversity we celebrate."

The song is inspired by the vibrant energy of Bollywood, performed by renowned Bollywood singer Shibani Kashyap, and produced in collaboration with the creative team at Awesome TV, led by Ritesh Parikh.

Harris was nominated as the Democratic nominee after President Joe Biden quit the presidential race amid mounting concerns over his age, particularly after his poor show in the debate with Donald Trump in June. If elected president, the 59-year-old Harris would become the first woman in history to become the US president. The Vice-President is only the second woman ever nominated for the presidency by a major political party.
