As America go to the polls Tuesday, special prayers were organized at a temple in the ancestral village of Democratic VP candidate Kamala Harris’ maternal grandfather in India’s Tamil Nadu state for her victory. Free idli and sambhar were also distributed to all devotees who came to attend the prayers at the Sri Dharmasastha Temple in Thulasendrapuram village, for the daughter of an Indian mother and Jamaican father, the Hindustan Times reported. Harris often fondly recalls the contribution of an unsung woman on “whose shoulders I stand on. And that’s my mother—Shyamala Gopalan who came here from India at age 19 to pursue her dream of curing cancer.”

Shyamala’s father, PV Gopalan, a high-ranking civil servant, was born in Thulasenthirapuram, 200 miles south of Chennai. The village was bedecked with posters wishing Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden’s running mate success.

“From Thulasenthirapuram to America. US vice president candidate contestant from the native origin of Thulasenthirapuram Kamala Harris, we wish her great success,” read the posters in Tamil.

“We want her to win the polls, we are praying for her,” a local was quoted as saying.

Earlier when the Indian American Senator was chosen by Democratic Presidential candidate Joe Biden as his running mate in August, the village celebrated the news by distributing sweets.

Meanwhile, both Joe Biden and Harris took to Twitter to urge Americans to cast their votes.

“It’s Election Day. Go vote, America!” wrote Biden.

“Election Day is here, and polling places across the country are starting to open. Mask up and find your polling place at I Will Vote,” tweeted Harris.

I have reservations she will uphold anything regarding the Christian faith.

I can only imagine what they are doing in Jamaica , her other ancestral root.

The place looks a little in need of some tender loving care... Like Uncle Joe.

Since they love her so much, they can have her. Once she runs their little village into the ground, their prayers will take on a whole new tone.

Long ago, religious leaders declared cows off limits to eat by making them holy for exactly the reasons you listed. Indians were eating cows faster than their rate of reproduction. Cows gave life sustaining milk by eating the grass which humans can not digest, male cows were used in agriculture to plow fields, and after death the cow’s skins provided leather which had multiple uses.

Don’t worry, Indians are now more capitalistic than many Americans. Kamala will not get a quarter of welcome in India PDJT received in India.

So-called Hindu “gods” (if they exist at all) are basically demons. I’m pretty sure they are powerless in the face of millions of Christians who have been and are praying for President Trump.

Her marriage was a Hindu ceremony. She pretends to be Baptist, the way she pretends to be black.
