A Muslim, South Asian socialist just made history in New York, and Pakistan can’t stop talking about him. Zohran Mamdani isn’t your usual politician.

He quotes Roti, Kapra aur Makaan in Queens, takes on America’s richest, and stands up for Palestine. But his story isn’t just America’s, it’s South Asia’s too.

Why are Indians and Pakistanis arguing over his slogan? And what does his rise say about the kind of politics missing back home?

In this episode of The Story Behind, Nukta Pakistan Editor Amber Rahim Shamsi unpacks the rise of Zohran Mamdani, the socialist, the immigrant, and maybe the kind of leader Pakistan never had. Watch now!
