Zohran Mamdani, filmmaker Mira Nair's son and part time revolutionary, full-time Modi-baiter, is now in pole position for mayor of New York City. And predictably, the Indian Internet is lit.

And because he's made attacking India, specifically Modi, specifically Hindutva, the central plank of at least part his American political hustle.

Why are we more invested in NEw York's election than out own? Shiv Aroor decodes on India Matters.
