For the freedom fighters in my family and all South Asian families, here comes a time to celebrate.

Those who looted India and killed thousands of non violent protesters, millions in the Bengal genocide now have a Hindu PM of South Asian origins. The rulers always get ruled someday.
A great Diwali gift! Happy Diwali!

I am very pleased that Mr Sunak appointed Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
In Europe, only Jewish discrimination is strictly prohibited.
However, it is widely known that discrimination against Asians goes unchecked, and that it is still common today for children and adults to make fun of Asians when they see them.
Mr. Sunak has to contend with this kind of normal, everyday discrimination against Asians in Europe.

We the general public in a democratic? society in the U.K didn't vote him in, there should have been a general election. What an embarrassment we are with the world looking on....

I am waiting for signing of FTA and cooling former Indian origin HS who was rash towards Hindu growth in the UK. Let us hope that Rishi will bring sanity in the communal cauldron. As an Economist he will be hostile towards Keynesians liberals spendthrifts with austerity. He will be bit cool with Putin because of Indian DNA. I hope that Infosys shares will go up. Blessings of Murthys. There are energy challenges. Workers were demanding pay hikes. Heat wave happened. London should not ignore others parts which make the United. Really paradox. King Charles and his consort on the one hand, poor economics on the other. Rishi has to rethink on "exporting" refugees. Boris should call it a day in politics. Truss should have given up for Rishi. Rishi, if not King Charles, should apologize for looting undivided Bharat and compensating for the losses. Let him return KohinoorS. Liberalized Visa for skilled Indians is a must. He should try to be more independent of the US and all the time do not nod with Biden like a henpecked husband. The best of the luck.
