Radical Roots: Mamdani’s Father, Mahmood Mamdani, Postcolonial Scholar

Why Troubling News:

This article is misleading in several ways. It tries to tie Zohran Mamdani’s political beliefs to his father’s academic work without offering any real evidence that he shares or is influenced by those views. It paints Mahmood Mamdani’s scholarship as “radical,” misrepresenting complex ideas about postcolonialism and historical injustices, and even suggests he defends terrorism without actually quoting or linking to anything specific. The piece also leans heavily on guilt by association rather than focusing on Zohran’s own record or platform. It brings up his background and land ownership in Uganda as if they’re scandalous, but offers no proof of wrongdoing, just speculation.
