WHO WE ARE - INDIAN AMERICANS FOR HARRIS
The Indian American community is now nearing the 5 million mark in the United States, with one-third of them born in the USA. Indian Americans are actively and responsibly contributing to the larger community and nation-building with passion, appreciating the opportunities provided by the United States for themselves and their families. Distinctly recognized in various high-skill professions, their presence is notable in medicine, IT, scientific research, education, journalism, and corporate leadership. A significant number of small businesses are owned and operated by Indian Americans, creating much-needed employment. They are currently the highest-income group among Asian Americans.
The community shares common family values, is peaceful and progressive, and is very inclusive of America’s diversity, integrating thoroughly while maintaining their cultural identity.

KAMALA'S MOTHER
Kamala’s mother, Shyamala Gopalan, was born in Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India. She earned her master’s degree in nutrition and endocrinology at the University of California, Berkeley, and completed a Ph.D. in the same field at UC Berkeley in 1964.
Shyamala conducted research in UC Berkeley’s Department of Zoology and Cancer Research Lab. She also worked as a breast cancer researcher at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the University of Wisconsin.
A gifted singer of Carnatic music, Shyamala won a national competition.
WHY HER? WHY NOW?
WE CAN'T WIN WITHOUT YOU
Kamala Harris is proud to have been raised by an Indian mother, with a deep connection to Indian culture and heritage. Her care and concern for the underprivileged and the environment reflect how she was brought up.
Her biracial heritage, with a Black Jamaican father and an Indian South Asian mother, is a perfect example of America as a melting pot. America has been a refuge for people from all over the world, and Kamala’s background resonates with many in America, where at least 12.5% of the population identifies as biracial. In 2023, immigrants and their U.S.-born children number approximately 90.8 million people, or 27 percent of the total civilian noninstitutionalized U.S. population.
Finally, the time has come to celebrate that Indian Americans, one of the most successful immigrant groups, will have one of their own in the highest office, as a leader of the free world. It is a proud moment, both globally and for America.
We urge you to support Kamala Harris as she is the right choice for the right time. As the world grapples with inequities and disharmony, we need her to lead the U.S. and the free world.
