Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old Muslim, Indian-origin, left-wing politician, has shocked New York's political circles by defeating former governor Andrew Cuomo in a key primary.
Now a frontrunner in the race for NYC mayor, he could become the city’s first South Asian and Muslim mayor.
But with his vocal stance on minority rights in India and Gaza, Mamdani has drawn sharp criticism from some Indian-American voters, even being labelled “anti-India” and “jihadi” by Modi supporters.
Can he win without their backing?
