EP140 WTM | Zohran Mamdani


"Zohran Mamdani has claimed every identity, whatever little bit he could claim – African, South Asian, Muslim – but he has not claimed what his genetic makeup of 50% actually is, which is Hindu."

"If Zohran wins, it's not going to affect India at all, other than the fact that he's going to keep nudging and he's going to keep making these statements because he sees a long political life ahead of him. He's only 34. Who knows he might want to be, you know, wanting to run for governor or president at some point. So he is keeping that alive. But in a real sense on the ground, he is not going to be able to do much."

Sunanda Vashisht, political commentator and columnist, joins us in the latest episode of What This Means to discuss:

-Why everyone's discussing Zohran Mamdani

-What's behind his hate for the BJP & PM Modi


-How important a person does Mamdani become if he is elected the mayor of NYC

-Zohran's campaign and his policy proposals and more!
