Washington:
There’s small to remark about the beige card with black text, except for what it announces: The inauguration of the United States’ very first female Vice President.
Social media customers, specially in India, celebrated for the momentous occasion, gushing more than the invitation card bearing the names of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

Having spent most of my life in either Delhi or DC, I can be rather jaded. But then there are the moments that are definitely striking — seeing a name like “Kamala Devi” on such an announcement is 1 of them. pic.twitter.com/jd8GGoZRe9

Kamala Devi Harris – I know she is a entire lot more American than Indian but heart feels what heart feels.
Here’s to that immigrant who flew all the way across oceans, constructed a life, brought up two wonderful daughters- & 1 of them went onto grow to be VP of that nation.#Believe ❤️
