Controversies Surrounding Mira Nair's Son Zohran—NYC Mayoral Candidate

Celebrated as the first Indian-origin Muslim to secure the nomination, Mamdani's candidacy has energized young, progressive voters with promises of rent freezes, free public transit, and higher taxes on the wealthy. But as he eyes the November mayoral election,

His mother, Mira Nair, is one of the most celebrated Indian filmmakers on the world stage. Known for critically acclaimed films such as Salaam Bombay! and Monsoon Wedding, Nair's work has consistently spotlighted the intersections of class, gender, and tradition, often examining the complexities of identity in postcolonial and diasporic societies. Her storytelling, marked by empathy and cultural honesty, has been recognized at the Academy Awards, BAFTAs, and Cannes.

His father, Mahmood Mamdani, is a distinguished Ugandan academic and political theorist whose scholarship focuses on colonialism, post-colonial governance, and the roots of ethnic conflict. His father is also of Indian descent, with ancestral roots in Gujarat—a background Zohran has invoked when speaking about his identity as a "Gujarati Muslim."
