When Zohran Mamdani was elected New York City's mayor in 2025, many knew his progressive politics - but few knew the remarkable history behind his surname.

• Creating commercial infrastructure across East Africa
• Being expelled from Uganda by Idi Amin in 1972
• Building resilience through exile and return
