A true Indian Potus?
Bobby Jindal, Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswami and Kamala Harris, who all have Indian roots and entered the race to become the President of the US (POTUS) in recent years, have inspired me to go into politics.

During the election of 2016, I observed that “Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are the two most hated people in America. One of them is going to be our president.” Such is the chokehold that the Democrats and Republicans (or the “duopoly” as some call it) have on American political life.
It’s pretty much axiomatic in any democratic society that voting is important, maybe even a civic duty. But how often do people look deeply—or at all—into their own mental process behind their choice?
Polls show that though Biden remains unpopular, he still enjoys more support than Trump. According to recent polls, nearly 60 per cent of Americans do not want Trump back in the White House.
There was a time not long ago when Americans had to go to a polling booth to cast their votes on election day. Absentee ballots were accepted if they were received by election day, and they could vote early if the polling booth was open. This was true whether the election was the presidential election or the midterm election or some other special national election.
