Well; the name Kamala in Sanskrit means lotus. Paradoxically, the lotus is also the electoral symbol of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's pro-Hindu Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Washington:

"Your election as Vice President of USA has been an important & historic event. You are a source of inspiration for many across the world. I am confident that under Pres Biden & your leadership our bilateral relations will touch new heights: PM Narendra Modi told Kamala Harris at the joint media conference.
Modi also invited Kamala Harris to visit India.
Some sections of the media said that the nomination of Kamala Harris, whose mother is a migrant Indian, as the Democrats' vice president candidate in 2020 polls swayed substantial votes of Asian Americans against Republican President Donald Trump.

Kamama Harris is the daughter of cancer biologist Shyamala Gopalan, who migrated from the southern Indian city of Chennai. Her father is a Jamaican migrant.
Indeed, during the Modi regime, India-US relations have improved. The Modi-Donald Trump bond was particularly good and enhanced strategic ties in bilateral relations.
Sickular gang in India presumed that Democrat Biden administration could be harsher towards pro-Hindu forces in India?
The Modi government almost mustered a free pass from the American establishment under right-winger Trump on human rights and religious minorities, including Christians and Muslims.
Arguably, Trump and Modi share equal love-hate' bond towards Muslims.
Trump was also known for his rhetoric against Muslim and Islamic terror.
It was alleged that under President Trump, the US had almost turned a blind eye to the Indian government's policy toward religious minorities.
On Aug. 5, 2019, the Modi government, guided by his party's electoral promise and the committed jingoism of Hindutva cult, abolished the Article 370 - that gave semi-autonomous status to Muslim-majority Kashmir.
