I'm proud of my Hindu heritage: Mamdani as he visits temples in NY
Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee for New York City Mayor, visited two temples in New York on Monday. "I'm proud of my Hindu heritage...I'm proud that I would be the first Indian-American mayor of this city," said Mamdani. He added his mother-filmmaker Mira Nair's family's Hindu faith has shaped his values, particularly through festivals like Diwali, Raksha Bandhan and Holi.
