Washington, DC [US], August 1 (ANI): Indian-origin Republican leader <keyword id="19927400" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vivek-Ramaswamy" source="keywords">Vivek Ramaswamy</keyword> has said that many <keyword id="20113176" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-Americans" source="keywords">Indian Americans</keyword> in the US have been offended as <keyword id="20564937" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="US-Vice-President" source="keywords">US Vice President</keyword> <keyword id="20307089" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Kamala-Harris" source="keywords">Kamala Harris</keyword> has "cast aside" her Indian identity. Ramaswamy recalled that <keyword id="20307089" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Kamala-Harris" source="keywords">Kamala Harris</keyword> leaned onto her Indian American identity when she ran for office in California and added that she wears a different identity when it is politically convenient on a national stage. Speaking to Fox News, <keyword id="19927400" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vivek-Ramaswamy" source="keywords">Vivek Ramaswamy</keyword> said, "On a very personal level, my parents were immigrants to this country, legal immigrants from southern India, the very same part of India that her mother also immigrated from. I think it's a hard fact, it's just a fact whether you like it or not, that many <keyword id="20113176" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-Americans" source="keywords">Indian Americans</keyword> in the United States are indeed somewhat offended by the way Kamala has suddenly cast aside the Indian American side of her identity." "She leaned into it when she ran for office in California, big Asian American and Indian American population. So, she wore that when it was convenient. She's wearing a different identity now when it's politically convenient on a national stage," he added. Speaking to Fox News, Ramaswamy said that Kamala Harris' leaning into <keyword id="21129061" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="identity-politics" source="keywords">identity politics</keyword> opens the door to criticism. He stated that Harris' candidature lacks vision for the US. He said, "I don't think we should be relying on these ethnic identities at all. We're American. And the problem is when you're Kamala Harris and you actually do lean into your <keyword id="21129061" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="identity-politics" source="keywords">identity politics</keyword>, then you open the door to that type of criticism." "But if you ask me, that shouldn't be how this election is decided one way or another. It should be decided on our own identity as Americans and what our vision is for the future of the country. And the number one thing missing in Kamala Harris's candidacy is that she lacks that vision for the country. That's what we've got to focus on," he added. Kamala Harris's <keyword id="22625049" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ethnic-identity" source="keywords">ethnic identity</keyword> is becoming a key issue in the US <keyword id="20099318" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="presidential-election" source="keywords">presidential election</keyword> campaign. It came under further scrutiny after former US President <keyword id="19918985" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Donald-Trump" source="keywords">Donald Trump</keyword> launched a strong personal attack on Vice President and rival in the upcoming presidential polls, Kamala Harris, by claiming that she, after being of "Indian heritage" for years, "turned black" a few years ago, CNN reported. He further claimed that Harris "all of a sudden, made a turn" in her identity and wants to be known as black. Trump made the comments at a gathering of journalists in Chicago when an interviewer asked him why black voters should consider backing a candidate with his history of racist attacks on political rivals. He responded by questioning Harris' heritage. "She was always of Indian heritage, and she was only promoting Indian heritage. I didn't know she was black until a number of years ago, when she happened to turn black, and now she wants to be known as black. So I don't know, is she Indian or is she black?" CNN quoted him as saying. "I respect either one, but she obviously doesn't, because she was Indian all the way, and then all of a sudden she made a turn and she went - she became a Black person," he said. "I think somebody should look into that too," he added. Kamala Harris is of <keyword id="19990665" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-origin" source="keywords">Indian origin</keyword>. Her mother is Indian and her father is Jamaican; both immigrated to the United States. She is the first woman of colour and the first Asian American vice president. If Harris wins the upcoming polls, she will become the first woman president of the country. Meanwhile, Kamala Harris has hit back at <keyword id="19918985" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Donald-Trump" source="keywords">Donald Trump</keyword> over the latter's remarks against her racial identity and said the American people "deserve better." She asserted that today the country faces a choice between two different visions, and alleged that Trump and his campaign aim to take the country "backward." Harris was speaking at a Houston fundraiser on Wednesday (local time), hours after Trump claimed that Harris, after being of "Indian heritage" for years, "turned black" a few years ago. "In this moment, we face a choice, between two very different visions for our nation. One focused on the future, the other focused on the past. And we in this room, are fighting for the future," she told the donors. "As we work to move our nation forward...there are those who are trying to take us backward. You might have seen their agenda, they call it Project 2025 and it is a 900-page agenda of extremism," Harris added.

<keyword id="24068881" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Equity-investments-in-Indian-real-estate" source="keywords">Equity investments in Indian real estate</keyword> may rise 49% to $11 billion this calendar year amid strong demand for properties, according to CII and CBRE. In the 2023 calendar year, the equity investments in real estate stood at $7.4 billion. Industry body CII and real estate consultant CBRE on Wednesday released a joint report titled 'Leading the Charge: Crafting the Skylines of Tomorrow' at the annual CII Realty 2024 conclave. Equity capital inflows touched $8.9 billion between January and September, registering a 46% year-on-year growth. "Overall equity investments in 2024 in the real estate sector are set to hit a new record surpassing $10 billion for the first time," the report said. With a resurgence in investment inflows in built-up office assets and a strong acquisition pipeline for land in the residential sector, the overall equity investments in 2024 would be in the $10-11 billion range. During January-September, institutional and collective vehicle investors accounted for nearly 40% of the overall investments. Developer companies led the total capital inflows with more than 41% share in this period. Domestic investors (predominantly developers) invested nearly USD 6 billion during the first nine months of the calendar year, dominating the overall capital inflows with an almost 65% share. In comparison, foreign investors contributed about $3.1 billion during the same timeframe. Notably, North American and Singaporean investors were the significant contributors, representing about 85% of all foreign capital inflows. Anshuman Magazine, Chairman &amp; CEO, India, South-East Asia, Middle East &amp; Africa, CBRE, said, "Projection for 2024 equity investments between $10-11 billion, highest-ever, underscores continued investor interest in the growing <keyword id="23870227" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="real-estate-market-in-India" source="keywords">real estate market in India</keyword>." With SEBI's SM-REIT framework, he said, smaller but high-quality assets in Tier-II markets would also present new avenues for strategic capital deployment. "We believe this regulatory support will add much-needed transparency, enabling a more diversified investment base and encouraging institutional participation across these markets," Magazine said. Going ahead, he said this growing diversification will not only solidify India's real estate sector but also pave the way for future growth across emerging asset classes.

Washington, Keeping his Vice Presidential choice tightly under wraps, Republican frontrunner and former US President <keyword id="19918985" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="donald-trump" source="keywords">Donald Trump</keyword> has ruled out Indian-American rival <keyword id="19916961" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="nikki-haley" source="keywords">Nikki Haley</keyword> as his running mate for 2024. Addressing a rally on Friday at Concord, in the run-up to the New Hampshire nominating contest, <keyword id="19906203" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="trump" source="keywords">Trump</keyword> said that the former South Carolina Governor, who finished third in Iowa, "is OK, but she is not presidential timber". "And when I say that, that probably means she is not going to be chosen as the vice president," Trump, fresh out of his landslide caucus victory by claiming 50 per cent of the vote, told his supporters, The Hill reported. "When you say certain things, it sort of takes them out of play, right?" he added. "I can't say, 'She's not of the timber to be the vice president' and then say, 'Ladies and gentleman, I'm proud to announce that I've picked'." According to former House Speaker <keyword id="20125168" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="kevin-mccarthy" source="keywords">Kevin McCarthy</keyword>, <keyword id="20036491" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="haley" source="keywords">Haley</keyword> would be a good pick to balance out Trump's weaknesses as a candidate. But Haley, who remains confident about her election as the next US President, has said she is not keen on playing Trump's second-in command. "I don't play for a second. I've never played for a second. I'm not going to start now. I'm not interested in being Vice President. I'm running to be President and I'm running to win and we will," she said in a CBS News interview. Polls show she is much closer to Trump in New Hampshire, where she is expected to benefit from a more moderate Republican primary electorate -- with undeclared voters participating in the January 23 contest. A recent CBS/YouGov poll had revealed that it is Haley who right now holds a bigger lead over President Joe Biden than either Trump or Florida Governor <keyword id="20189922" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="ron-desantis" source="keywords">Ron DeSantis</keyword> in potential head-to-head match-ups. With the New Hampshire primary scheduled for January 23, and South Carolina on February 3, the former UN Ambassador said that the Republican presidential race will be a contest between her and Trump. In recent weeks, Trump has stepped up attacks against Haley, saying she needs Biden's supporters to "infiltrate" the party primary to perform well in New Hampshire. Early this week, he reposted a report from the right-wing website The Gateway Pundit that said Haley was not a US citizen because her immigrant parents were not citizens at the time of her birth. The former President also used the Concord rally to take potshots at New Hampshire Governor Chris <keyword id="20264959" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sununu" source="keywords">Sununu</keyword>, who is endorsing Haley, and fellow presidential rival DeSantis. Trump said Sununu was backing a candidate who wasn't "capable" of doing the job, adding that Haley wasn't "tough enough," "smart enough" or "respected enough" to win the Republican party nomination. He dubbed Florida Governor DeSantis one of the greatest "self-destructions I think I've ever witnessed" and claimed that Sununu "didn't have the guts' to run for President". An average of New Hampshire surveys compiled by Decision Desk HQ and The Hill shows Trump ahead 11 points over Haley at roughly 46 per cent and 35 per cent, respectively.

Trump rules out Indian-American Haley as 2024 running mate

The <keyword id="19949639" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Rupee" source="keywords">rupee</keyword> recovered from its all-time low level and witnessed a range-bound trade against the <keyword id="19949640" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="US-dollar" source="keywords">US dollar</keyword> in early hours on Thursday, as investors remained cautious ahead of the US Fed meeting outcome later this week. Forex traders said RBI interventions will keep the <keyword id="23844589" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="USD/INR-pair" source="keywords">USD/INR pair</keyword> between 83.80 and 84.35. Moreover, the US Federal Reserve monetary policy and officials' comments will be in focus to derive further momentum. At the interbank foreign exchange, the rupee opened at 84.26 against the greenback, registering a rise of 5 paise over its previous close. On Wednesday, the rupee depreciated 22 paise to close at an all-time low of 84.31 against the US dollar. "The <keyword id="20045514" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-rupee" source="keywords">Indian rupee</keyword> fell to its lowest (level) on Wednesday and is expected to continue with its fall as the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) allows a weaker rupee with FPIs (<keyword id="20015748" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="foreign-portfolio-investors" source="keywords">foreign portfolio investors</keyword>) continuing their selling mode in equities," said Anil Kumar Bhansali, Head of Treasury and Executive Director, Finrex Treasury Advisors LLP. RBI protected the rupee for some time but left the protection as pressure on buying dollars was immense after a rise in the dollar index and an increase in US yields, Bhansali added. Forex traders said the rupee was trading in a narrow range as persistent foreign fund outflows, a muted trend in domestic equities and the strength of the American currency in the overseas market, dented investor sentiments. The dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, was trading 0.10 per cent lower at 104.98. Brent crude, the global oil benchmark, rose 0.79 per cent to USD 75.51 per barrel in futures trade. On the domestic equity market front, Sensex declined 429.83 points, or 0.53 per cent, to 79,948.30 points. The Nifty fell 143.25 points, or 0.59 per cent, to 24,340.80 points. Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) were net sellers in the capital markets on Wednesday, as they offloaded shares worth Rs 4,445.59 crore, according to exchange data.
