VADLURU, July 24 — Every day in a simple temple in an Indian village, Hindu priest Subhramanya Sharma prays to his god for JD Vance to become vice-president of the United States.
“We bless her,” said the priest, whose temple is in a building once owned by Usha’s family, the Chilukuris. Her father Chilukuri Radhakrishnan — a PhD holder — was brought up in Chennai and went on to study in the United States. He returned to India before the couple moved back across the Pacific, and Usha was brought up in suburban San Diego.Hillbilly Elegy
Usha is a practising Hindu and told Fox News in a recent interview that the faith made her mother and father “good parents... really good people”.Villagers now follow the couple’s campaign on YouTube and Facebook, said resident Venkata Ramanayya, 70.Millions of Indians have made similar journeys as the Chilukuris, and according to the most recent US census, Indians have become the country’s second-largest Asian ethnicity, growing 50 per cent to 4.8 million in the decade to 2020.
