I know which the mayor in question too. He’s a family friend of mine.

Harvard is a university established in the 1700s. People applying to Harvard are some of the richest people on the planet coming from some of the most affluent families in the world. Their political connections go up to the Barrack Obama and more.
The point I’m trying to make is that Harvard isn’t going to be impressed by a reco from the Kolkata mayor. They know you’re just trying to pad your app with connections. I think the mayor has much more important things to do anyway.

It’s not gonna be an eye-sore, it’s gonna reflect poorly on you.
With that, and a 5 page resume, it’s not too hard to tell that you’re just trying too hard.
