LIVE | Who is Usha Vance? New U.S Vice-President JD Vance's Indian-Origin Wife to Become Second Lady

In a historic development following Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Usha Vance is set to make history as the first Indian-origin woman to become the Second Lady of the United States. Born to Indian parents who emigrated from Andhra Pradesh to the U.S. in 1986, Usha Chilukuri Vance was raised in a suburban neighbourhood in San Diego, California. With a strong academic background and a reputation as a dedicated philanthropist, Usha’s rise to prominence reflects her commitment to public service, family values, and her Indian-American heritage.

I fail to see any point in the obsessive eulogisation of the likes of Usha Chilukuri by their clansmen residing in India. Fooling oneself with delusional unreal expectations despite the fact that in reality, Usha Chilukuri does not care a two penny damn about them. Any independent audit will certainly fail to demonstrate even an iota of benefit which might have been brought upon India by Usha Chilukuri, Kamala Harris and Akshata Murthy in their capacity as second or first ladies, so all of the grandiose jubilation may well turn out to be an exercise in self deceit. Another fallacy being propagated is that Usha Chilukuri Vance is doing her Dravidian Brahmin community proud by proving her steadfast loyalty to the establishment in her adopted country, an establishment whose strategic imperialist goals incidentally are at undeniable odds with India's strategic and national interests. What follows is the superstition that it is kind of morally incumbent upon her clansmen in South India to take pride in and own up all of Usha Vance's political intrigues, and to fool themselves that it is their moral communal responsibilty to ensure smooth sailing for her amidst her travails in the USA, even if her machinations for furthering American geostrageic hegemony be at direct variance with Indian strategic autonomy and sovereignty and the multipolar world order. There is no merit in making the case for Indians to subsidize her endeavours at the cost and detriment of Indian national interest. Usha Chilukuri Vance is not Indian, everything about her demeanour from her style of smooching a man in public view and her way of walking and talking, to her ideological leanings and world view, is typical American. No tangible benefits will be gained by India in concocting or forging a "connection" with her.
Meanwhile, Usha Vance the ceremonial mascot, and her EuroAmerican principals, are but having the last laugh at the impressionability of those of her Dravidian Brahmin clansmen in India who are felicitating themselves on her political success as if it is ipso facto tantamount to their own emancipation. They want Indians to stand with Usha Vance under the spell of misperceived ethno-cultural camarederie or herd-mentality, but she has no plans to stand with India, so their exhortations basically boil down to unrequited one-way submission before a foreign power, something which is not in tune with a nation's self-respect. As regards the question of Usha Vance doing her Dravidian clansmen in India "proud" by dint of her feats, I think it is premature to jump to any conclusions. If in the course of next few years it turns out that Usha Vance has followed in the footsteps of her predecessors and forebears who have upheld the status quo of imperialist ravages across the globe abroad and repressive persecution of innocent rank and file American citizens at home on an epidemic scale by trigger happy policemen enjoying qualified immunity which characterise the corporatic American political set-up, then there will be nothing in such of Usha Vance's deeds for Indians to own up, much less be proud of !
For all I know, the consensus among Usha Vance's supporters is that she undertook her interracial nuptial liason with Mr Vance out of considerations of love instead of becoming enamoured of his wealth, learning, power or stature. As such, her marriage has been an individual private affair between two individuals. She has married an individual who happens to be a European-origin American in private pursuit of a quest to find her true love, and she has not married the entire American nation or the white race for that matter. By exactly the same token of reasoning, I seem unimpressed by whole throngs of her clansmen in India throwing their lot in unison behind her, seeking to own up her political intrigues as well as unauthorised participation in her political fortunes in America, as if those endeavours were somehow imbued with patriotism towards India which is obviously not the case. It is best to treat her as an individual, an American national, as they saw, by respecting her private space and not pretending as if Indians residing in India collectively owe her a favour on account of her personal successes in a foreign land.
