indian here, from india, with some indian context, btw love ur work Candace!
Kamalas mother belonged to a very high class, bureaucratic family, so marrying someone outside ur religion,caste,race in that era was extremely unlikely especially for someone like kamalas mother. not to mention, marrying a black person would be absolutely impossible because racism has been prevalent in india as well. so i completely believe kamalas dad not being black rather being Irish-indian hindu since he looks like a lot of old indian men i see irl here especially the south indians. the communist part also seems so interesting because in 20th century, especially post independence, communism was extremely popular in india owing to the closeness to soviet union and even today some of the most influential and powerful political parties in india, especially south india, the region kamalas mom belongs to, are hardcore communists parties with hardcore communist ideologies even today(The head of the state kamalas mom is from has literally changed his family name to “Stalin” lmao).
totally personal opinion but i absolutely believe kamalas dad not being black at all but irish hindu with maybe some indian ancestry coz that’s wayyyyy more believable especially when you know the family background and social class and status of kamalas mom AND the indian society and mentality during the 20th century.ps: as a non-American i find it insane this isn’t mainstream news in your country, i follow global news esp American news very closely and to find no one talking about this is almost a culture shock coz had it been any other country this would have been a huge media piece running across all news channels 24*7
