Kamala Harris’ Indian uncle remembers her childhood

Harris's maternal uncle, Gopalan Balachandran, who lives in south Delhi said he was happy to hear her mention her mother as she made her first speech as the Vice President of the United States.

He plans to visit her as soon as he can get vaccinated for coronavirus, he added.

Harris was born in California to an Indian mother and a Jamaican father who both immigrated to the United States to study. She visited Thulasendrapuram, her ancestral village in India, when she was five.
