New York, Aug 12 (IANS): Democratic Party presidential candidate Joe Biden has selected Kamala Devi Harris as the nominee for vice president in a historic move that marks a breakthrough for Indian Americans in US politics.

"I have the great honour to announce that I've picked @KamalaHarris - a fearless fighter for the little guy, and one of the country's finest public servants - like my running mate," Biden tweeted Tuesday afternoon, ending weeks of speculation.

Harris, the daughter of Shyamala Gopalan, a cancer researcher from India and Donald Harris, an African Jamaican economics professor, is the first non-White candidate for vice president and the third.

A senator, Harris has a history as a prosecutor, having been the attorney general of California.

Despite her mixed parentage, Harris is presented as an African American meeting the current national sentiment driven by the movement against discrimination against African Americans.

    Proud of her being Indian but as we wouldn't like foreigner ruling over us here same should hold good there also and Globalization of culture is an issue.

    Bringing foreign culture with something positive is good but morally bad such as killing the unborn, same - sex marriages which democrats support would lead to doom and destruction not only for them but also who follow them. Finally what one sows one would reap, accordingly choices need to be made.
