Thulasendhrapuram, a small village in India is where Kamala Harris’ maternal grandparents came from. The village is proudly displaying a large banner of Ms. Harris in its center.
Special prayers are being offered for her success, with Harris and her grandfather, PV Gopalan who was an Indian bureaucrat and an advisor to Zambia’s first president, listed as donors to the village temple. Sweets are also being distributed. Villagers have been closely watching the US presidential race, especially after Joe Biden’s withdrawal and Harris’ rise as a possible nominee.

Women in the village feel a special sense of pride, seeing Harris as a symbol of possibility for women everywhere. This excitement is similar to when villagers celebrated with fireworks, posters, and calendars when Harris became the vice president. They had a communal feast with traditional dishes like sambar and idli, which are among Harris’ favorite foods.
Kamala Harris is the daughter of Shyamala Gopalan, a breast cancer researcher from Tamil Nadu, who moved to the US in 1958. “My mother, Shyamala, came to the US from India alone at 19. She was a force – a scientist, a civil rights activist, and a mother who instilled pride in her two daughters,” Harris said in a social media post last year.
Harris and her sister Maya visited Chennai after their mother died, immersing her ashes in the sea according to Hindu traditions.
The villagers feel connected to Harris’ journey, despite being thousands of miles away. They hope she will visit them someday or mention the village in her speech.
