Kamala Harris’s identity might have been turned out different had her mother not been a victim of British colonialism. Shymala Harris was unable to instill the civilizational pride of bring Indian, Hindu and Tamil in her daughter because she herself was a beneficiary of Macauleyean education in India that sought to erase every trace of India’s Vedic (Hindu) civilization. I am also mixed race, my father is a South African Zulu and my mother is a Tamil Hindu Indian. Since the women are the carriers of culture and religion in our community, I was raised to be a proud Tamil Hindu woman. So, you can become Black or Indian.
