Indians rejoice over Mamdani's mayoral win
Los Angeles Times
|November 06, 2025
Indians lighted up social media on Wednesday to celebrate Zohran Mamdani's election win as New York City mayor after he thanked his Indian-born parents, quoted a historic speech by India's first prime minister and turned the victory rally into a Bollywood-style street party.
"We are proud of him. He has done a great job," Mamdani's maternal uncle Vikram Nair told the Associated Press. He said he was flooded with requests from friends and families to throw celebratory parties.
"We will plan it soon," he said, adding that the family would love to have Mamdani take part.
The 34-year-old Ugandan-born Mamdani is set to be New York's youngest mayor in more than a century — and the first Muslim one — when he takes office on Jan. 1.
At a boisterous victory rally late Tuesday, Mamdani addressed supporters with a speech inspired by Jawaharlal Nehru's famous "Tryst with Destiny" address, delivered on the eve of India's independence in 1947.
