1/4 Bharatanatyam is the oldest classical dance tradition of India indigenous to Tamil Nadu, a state in Southern India. Senator and Vice Presidential candidate @KamalaHarris mother was from Tamil Nadu. The Tamil language is one of the world's longest-surviving classical
2/4 languages, with a history dating back to 300 BCE (more than 2300 years ago). Tamilians (the Tamil people) take massive pride in their music, art, dance, food, architecture, movies, language - pretty much every aspect of their culture. You do not mess with them.
3/4 We thought we would celebrate @SenKamalaHarris elevation to the ticket by sharing how you would pronounce her name in her motherland. We convey this using Navarasa - a Bharatanatyam presentation on the nine expressions referred to in ancient scriptures -
4/4 Love, Compassion, Fear, Disgust, Anger, Laughter, Courage, Surprise, and Peace.

We hope you enjoy it and we hope Kamala and her family get to see this. #BidenHarris2020
