@vishsidd2007 @gandabherunda So, if there a difference in pronunciation, it makes the entire family elitist? she already belonged to a well-off Punjabi family. I don't think she was desperate to be a Malayali!

His mom changed her name from Nayyar to Nair to sound elitist & enchanted by Kerala traditions. Nairs follow matrilineal lineage. So Zohran on that account should have been a Hindu & not a Mohammaden. Yet, he calls him self a Khwaja Shia from Gujarat origin . This guy is a bigger fraud than Kamala Harris.

🚨Zohran Mamdani has won the mayor’s race for New York City. He becomes the first Muslim and first South Asian to serve as mayor of New York City.

@madhukishwar why are you having a meltdown over ? You are a true blooded hater of literally every human being and all you know is to spew venom. And nobody changed their surname to become Nair elite. LOL. It takes a lot of courage to have an inter-faith marriage and raise a good human being.

Mamdani's mother Meera Nair was my contemporary at Miranda House. She is from a wealthy Punjabi family which was driven out of the region that became Pakistan. And yet she is a true blooded Hindu hater! She changed the spelling of her name from Punjabi "Nayyar" to "Nair" to the more elitist Kerala's Nairs. Her marriage to Mamdani shows that she thinks very highly of Mazhabeez. Knowing her bent of mind, I did not support her proposal to make a commercial film on my reports on the 1984 anti Sikh riots. She had scripted a crude love story around that national tragedy! Her film " Salaam Bombay" betrayed her crass commercial self. The ugly fake narrative she created around the "Kaun Banega Crorepati" was malicious beyond belief. Her film "Monsoon Wedding" was a crass caricature of Punjabi Hindus --her own community. OR "Mississipi Masala" where all the Blacks are great guys with strong family values, whereas the Hindus in Africa are depicted as crude, loud mouthed, vulgar racists, without any sanskars. All this and more shows that she doesn't mind demonising and demeaning her own people in order to make money and join the elite Woke Club.

He hates every kafir. That woman is not a Hindu nor Indian

Oh let me complete the story. She was forcefully taken by the brits. She was forcefully converted. She was forcefully made to marry a 50 year old white asshole. She was pregnant at 20 And died at 21. This is how they treated an Indian Coorgi princess. Your blood should boil.

Christianity started approximately 2000 years ago. The Padmanabhaswamy Temple in Kerala is believed to be at least 5000 years old. So, how does Christianity precede Hindu Dharma in Kerala?
Varghese K George@vargheseKgeorge

3/nHowever, for the benefit of those who might be curious about the presence of Christianity in Kerala where i grew up, let me state the following facts: In Kerala, the arrival of Christianity precedes the arrival of Vedic practices and ideas.
