New York, Jan 19 : The first Indian recorded to have reached the shores of the US is a man from Madras (now Chennai), the area from where the family of Shyamala Gopalan, mother of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, hails.
From the time of his long journey on a sailing ship in 1790 to now when Gopalan s daughter is going to be Vice President, it is also a long political journey for Indians in the US.
