Even today, the Democratic Party candidate is unable to reply to the letter of this person from Mumbai, in which he said that we both have some relation with each other.

Democratic Party presidential candidate Joe Biden does not get tired of referring to his distant relative ‘Biden’ in Mumbai even today.

The former vice president of the United States often addresses him as ‘Biden from Mumbai’ and he still has a grudge against not meeting him.

When he was elected senator from Delaware in 1972, Biden was sent a letter congratulating him from Mumbai by a man with the same surname. He was greeted by ‘Biden from Mumbai’ to become a senator and told that they have a relationship with each other.

Biden was 29 years old at the time and wanted to meet the man but that could not happen due to family and political commitments. Today, even after five decades, he wants to fulfill his wish and whenever he meets any Indian-American or Indian leader, he definitely mentions ‘Biden from Mumbai’.

He also told the story of ‘Biden from Mumbai’ while addressing the people on the Bombay Stock Exchange in Mumbai on 24 July 2013 on his first visit to India after becoming the Vice President of the US.

Biden told the people, “It is an honor to come back to India and be here in Mumbai. In 1972, when I was 29 years old and the US Senate was elected, I received a letter, which I still regret not answering. Perhaps a genealogist sitting in the audience could help me. I received a letter from Mumbai from a gentleman named Biden, in which he said that we both have a relationship with each other. ‘

Biden said, ‘Maybe our predecessors have some connection or someone came to Mumbai in 1700 to work in’ East India Trading Company ‘.

A few years later, during a speech in Washington DC, Biden said that his ancestors were one who worked for the ‘East India Company’ and who then went to India.

On 21 September 2015, while addressing the ‘US India Business Council’, Biden said that ‘Biden from Mumbai’ and my ancestors were probably one, in 1848 who used to work for ‘East India Tea Company’. He probably married an Indian woman and remained in India.

In Mumbai in 2013, Biden told the people that if this is true then I can contest elections in India too.

During this speech, a wave of laughter rang out among the audience present there.
