While some political pundits have expressed no surprise at the nomination of Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris in the US election, there are many who are calling it a turning point in US history.
On the other hand, Miss Harris's opposition Republicans have started personal attacks on her. US President Donald Trump has called them "fake, vile and too liberal."
Many others also called him a 'clever politician' who cherishes his own interests but knows how to use any popular ideology to his political advantage.
An American analyst said that the news of the nomination of Kamala Harris has suppressed the news of Corona virus, while some people are saying that another 'Barack Obama' has entered the election field in American politics.
Meanwhile, Kamala's uncles living in Chennai, India, have said that she (Kamala) is a 'man Barack Obama'.
Probably a factor as to why they're doing so poorly is because they're the first black candidate to run for office.
Before coming to the United States for higher education, Kamala Harris' mother Shyamla Gopalan lived in Chennai, South India. Perhaps that is why Kamala described the strong ties between the United States and India as "inseparable", after which she became very popular in the Indian-American community.
However, when Prime Minister Narendra Modi of the BJP government changed the constitutional status of Indian-administered Kashmir, he opposed the Indian government.

Sanctions in Kashmir and the stand of Kamala Harris
"We have to remind the Kashmiris that they are not alone in their struggle," Harris said after the measures were taken in August last year when Indian-administered Kashmir was under severe sanctions.
"We are constantly reviewing the situation and we will need to intervene if the situation demands it."
Senator Kamala Harris continued to criticize the Modi government, even on one occasion directly criticizing Indian Foreign Minister J. Shankar.
Pramila J. Paul, another Indian-origin member of the US Congress, introduced a resolution in the US House of Representatives on human rights violations in Indian-administered Kashmir.
Indian Foreign Minister Jay Shankar had refused to attend the meeting of the Foreign Affairs Committee on Kashmir at the US Congress building, which will be attended by Jayapal.
Kamala Harris said in a tweet that "it is wrong for a foreign government to tell Congress which members can attend a Capitol Hill meeting."
In the United States, the Congress building is called Capitol Hill.
Although many members of Congress had criticized the Indian Foreign Minister, Kamala Harris's statement gained more prominence in the media due to her Indian origin.
The US has a policy on Kashmir
In fact, this position on Kashmir is not only that of Kamala Harris but also many other senators and members of Congress.
Earlier, Senator Elizabeth Warren and Senator Bernie Sanders had also expressed concern over the situation in Kashmir. The Trump administration has taken a similar stance.
Kamala Harris has also been critical of amendments to India's controversial citizenship law.
The law has led to allegations of discrimination against Muslims in India. The European Union has also criticized the law.
In addition, all members of the Indian-American Congress except Raja Krishna Murthy boycotted the 'Howdy Modi' celebrations in Texas.
In October last year, a large number of Indian-Americans held a huge 'Howdy Modi' ceremony in honor of Prime Minister Modi in Texas, which was also attended by President Trump.
Under these circumstances, some Indian analysts are now saying that if Biden and Kamala Harris win the November presidential election, a very interesting situation will arise because the United States will withdraw from India because of its position on Kashmir. How can he spoil relations which he considers his ally in competition with China?
Kashmiris don't need verbal statements
However, Mirza Saeeb Baig, a Kashmiri lawyer and Wadden Flood Hoffman Scholar at Oxford University, says, “Kamala Harris has spoken out about human rights in Kashmir, saying that Kashmiris are not alone. However, to describe the Kashmir issue as a human rights issue is tantamount to denying the true nature of the issue.
Mirza Saib Baig says that human rights violations in Kashmir are taking place due to a major political dispute about which Kamala Harris has no position.
"His inclusion (as a vice-presidential candidate) shows a diversity in the US presidential election, but it will not make much difference to Kashmiris unless he takes an unambiguous stand on Kashmir." Take it. '
He said that Kashmiris do not need verbal statements. We know that human rights are being violated in Kashmir.
"We go through this every day. We need world leaders who can tell the truth. Everyone can say that human rights violations should be stopped, but everyone is in Kashmir
