FRANCE 24 English published this video item, entitled “Tamil Brahmins celebrate Kamala Harris’s ascent to US vice presidency” – below is their description.
Harris is one of many with roots in South India’s upper-caste networks who have risen to global prominence. Yet some lower-caste activists point out that her rise would have been unlikely without “the privilege she was born into”.
Others hope Harris’s success will shed light on the broader culture of Tamil Nadu, India’s sixth most-populous state.
