The Los Angeles resident has strong roots of standing in support of immigrants in the US. She hails from the family of Sardar J J Singh, who stood against the discriminatory policies against minority communities in the 1940s.
The 55-year-old Vice Presidential nominee, who has already been in the news recently for her Indian roots, has also appointed the Sri Lankan-American Rohini Kosoglu as a senior advisor. Kosoglu has earlier worked with Harris as her senior advisor in her Senate office and also in her presidential campaign, which Harris dropped after lack of public support.
