Zohran Mamdani, the brother of the popular director Mira Nair, is currently the subject of controversy over the Holocaust. An ancient picture that Mamdani is seen leading a protest against the BJP government in India over the destruction of the Babri Masjid and the Ram Temple has recently surfaced and is making the rounds. A crowd of protest in Times Square, led by NYC Candidate for Mayor Zohran Mamdani, referred to Hindus as” b******s” and abused Lord Rama, who is revered by Hindus. A genuine scumbag, according to the viral videos. Mamdani was portrayed as masked due to the crisis in the 2020 video, just like everyone else in the background. Mamdani ran for New York State Assembly District 36 at the time, winning the district afterwards. In the movie, he started it with” Sat Shri Akal ji” and spoke in competent Hindi and English. There were allegedly anti-Hindu slogans that called Hindus “basta**s” in the background. He only attacked the ruling gathering in India, no faith, though. Social media users dug up his old X post before the demonstration where he decried the BJP in India as this ancient video went viral. I won’t be silent as an American Muslim whose home is witnessing the rising flood of fascism in India. None of us should be silent as New Yorkers who are no neighbors to the increase of right-wing patriotism at home, Mamdani wrote at the time.
What is the Mamdani controversy in the Holocaust?
Four decades after the senator passed a distinct resolution condemning the Holocaust, Mamdani said he declined to sign onto a state legislature quality recognizing Israel on the 77th anniversary of its foundation. Maddani responded to the claim by saying that his public statements should overshadow his actions on non-binding proposals. Every time, I have condemned the Holocaust. This is something that every New Yorker and I are really aware of, and I have made it clear mainly in public statements, which are where the majority of New Yorkers actually engage in their politics, Mamdani said.
What is Mamdani’s relationship to India?
Both Mamdani’s kids were Indian born. His mother, Mira Nair, a director, wed Indian author and intellectual Mahmood Mamdani. At the age of 7, Zohran Kwame Mamdani moved to New York City with his home after growing up in Kampala, Uganda. He graduated from the Bronx High School of Science and Bowdoin College with a Bachelor’s Degree in Africana Studies. He attended the NYC Public School System. He was granted citizenship as an American citizen a few years after, in 2018.
