Zohran Mamdani Has a Hindu Problem

One of the most significant signs of Mr. Mamdani's anti-Hindu bigotry emerged in January 2024, when he co-organized and supported New York City protests that denounced the consecration of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, labeling it 'Hindutva extremism'.

Zohran Mamdani's well-known anti-Semitism and socialist credentials aren't the only aspects of his character. What is less widely known is his alleged "hateful" attitudes towards Hindus. This attitude is despite his Hindu-Muslim mixed-faith ancestry.

Zohran Mamdani's mother, Mira Nair, was born to Hindu parents in India. His father, Mahmood Mamdani, born into a Muslim family, is a Mumbai, India-born Ugandan national.

Mr. Mamdani, the Democrat Party's nominee for the New York City mayoral election in November, has been the toast of the liberal-progressive-socialist crowd after his stunning victory against former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democrat primary. Mr. Mamdani will face Eric Adams, a sitting mayor and a former Democrat who is now running as an independent, in the November election.

As a dedicated member of the Democratic Socialists of America, Mr. Mamdani's political affiliations carry significant weight. The organization's platform, which he supports, advocates for radical changes, including "defunding the police," "social ownership" of key industries and infrastructure, and taxing the wealthy. He also believes, à la the socialist Senator from Vermont, that "billionairs should not exist."

In August 2022, a video surfaced on social media showing Mr. Mamdani leading a hostile crowd in Times Square, targeting the Hindu community. The mob, consisting of Khalistani separatists, was heard shouting, "Who are the Hindus? Harami (Bastards, in Hindi and other Indian languages)," a dehumanizing slur.

Despite the offensive nature of the chants around him, Mr. Mamdani continued, showing a shocking level of disregard for the Hindu community. Khalistani separatists have a history of vandalizing and desecrating Hindu temples in the U.S., as well as the Indian consulate office in San Francisco.
