Zohran Mamdani’s primary victory in the New York City mayoral race has sparked both celebration and outrage. As the first South Asian, Muslim, and Indian-origin candidate likely to become mayor, his stance on human rights and criticism of Prime Minister Modi has angered Hindu nationalist groups and some in the Indian diaspora. Accusations of anti-Hindu bias and links to “anti-India” organizations have emerged. Yet, Mamdani remains firm, symbolizing resistance against religious intolerance and rising global Islamophobia.
