Kolkata Airport makes history by welcoming first Giant Airbus Beluga XL
Indian-American Vivek Ramaswamy has announced his bid to run for the presidency of the United States, making him the second person of Indian origin to do so after Nikki Haley. The announcement has stirred up a lot of interest, especially in the Indian-American community.
Ramaswamy's presidential bid has come as no surprise to many as he has been actively involved in politics and has been vocal about his political views. He is a Harvard Law School graduate and has founded several companies, including a biotech firm and a technology company. Ramaswamy is known for his conservative views and has been critical of the left-leaning policies of the current administration.
With the growing number of Indian Americans in key positions in the government, it appears that the United States is getting a "desi touch." However, Ramaswamy's path to the presidency is not going to be easy. The current political climate in the United States is highly polarized, and he will have to contend with big players like former President Donald Trump, who is also rumored to be considering another presidential bid.
Despite the challenges, Ramaswamy's candidacy has generated a lot of excitement within the Indian-American community, which has long felt underrepresented in politics. His conservative views have also won him support from the right wing of the political spectrum. If Ramaswamy can leverage this support and tap into the growing influence of the Indian-American community, he may have a chance at the presidency.
The rise of Indian Americans in American politics is a significant milestone for the community, which has traditionally been underrepresented in government. With Kamala Harris already making history as the first person of South Asian descent to hold a high-level position in the government, the path is now open for more Indian Americans to enter politics.
