Not just Kamala Harris, Joe Biden too has Indian link

不止卡玛拉·哈里斯，乔·拜登和印度也有渊源

CHENNAI: “I may have relatives in India,” US President-elect Joseph Biden had declared on his maiden visit to Mumbai in 2013, when VP-elect Kamala Harris’s Tamil Nadu connection wasn’t headline news yet.

金奈：美国当选总统拜登在2013年首次访问孟买时曾说过：“我在印度可能有亲戚”，当时副总统候选人玛拉•哈里斯与泰米尔纳德邦的关系还没有成为印度的头条新闻。

Biden, then serving as VP, was referring to a Mumbai resident who, he said, shared his surname and had written to him back in 1972, claiming they were both descendants of someone who worked for the erstwhile East India Company. Biden, who was 29 at the time and had just been elected to the US Senate, said he wanted to follow up on the claim but couldn’t.

时任副总统的拜登指的是一位孟买居民，他说，这位居民与他同姓，并在1972年给他写信，称他们都是前东印度公司某员工的后代。当时29岁的拜登刚刚当选美国参议院议员，他说想核实但又没办法核实。

A few years later, during another speech, Biden said his “great, great, great, great, great grandfather George Biden” was a captain in the East India Company who settled in India and married an Indian.

几年后，在另一次演讲中，拜登说，他的曾曾曾曾祖父乔治·拜登是东印度公司的一名船长，在印度定居并娶了一个印度女子。

Though there are no records of a George Biden, two siblings named Christopher Biden and William Henry Biden did serve as captains in the East India Company, according to Gateway House, a foreign policy think-tank based in Mumbai.

根据孟买外交政策智库Gateway House的数据，虽然没有乔治•拜登的记录，但名叫克里斯托弗•拜登和威廉•亨利•拜登的兄弟确实在东印度公司担任过船长。

So What?

那又怎样？

Rajesh Singh

So hopefully India will develop a bit. As things stand right now, India is a total garbage dump and figures at the bottom of every socio economic indicator alongside the African countries.

希望印度能加速发展。就目前的情况来看，印度简直就是个垃圾场，在每个社会经济指标方面，印度的排名都排在非洲国家之后。

I am not sure about Biden's Indian connection. But Kamala can't be called an Indian just because she had her ancestors from Madras because she hates India.

我不确定拜登与印度的关系。虽然卡玛拉的祖先来自印度马德拉斯，但是她讨厌印度，不算印度裔。

Rajesh Naidu

Both are Anti Indians, why we are celebrating, like blinds.

他们都是反印度的，我们有什么好庆祝的，像傻子一样

We should concentrate in his foreign policy rather than his childhood.

我们应该关注拜登的外交政策，而不是他的童年。

卡玛拉是美国人，没必要为她庆祝。只要是印度和美国冲突的地方，她都会站在美国那边。

Track record of kamala and Joe Biden is not very good against India. Kamla Harris has been very vocal on criticising India on kashmir and caa. We will have to look further, Biden is not at all as friendly as trump has been, moreover Biden soft peddling with will have to be observed.

卡玛拉和拜登对印度一直不太好。卡姆拉·哈里斯总是直言不讳地批评印度在克什米尔问题上的立场和CAA法案。

我们必须看得更远，拜登根本不像特朗普那么友好，拜登对比较友好。

Far Cry

Why do we care who his grandfather was .. need to see what he holds for India in future, which seems not favourable looking at his record..

我们为什么要关心他的祖宗是谁…要看他将来对印度的态度，从过去来看，似乎不太友好。

Dear Indian people, get ready to defend your border against Pakistan and . Both countries are going to be benefitted by Biden's win.
