Aruna Miller, who made history in Maryland last year by becoming the first South Asian woman to be elected state lieutenant governor, is facing criticism for her ties to far-right Hindu nationalist groups and for allegedly intimidating those who have publicly criticized her.
Miller has collected at least $110,000 since 2011 during her four campaigns from donors associated with Bharatiya Janata Party, a Hindu nationalist political party, and Hindutva, a far-right nationalist political ideology that mirrors white supremacy, according to public records.
