“HURRAY,” rejoiced many Asians on seeing Rishi Sunak — our desi boy, a Hindu, an Indian, a Kenyan, a Pakistani, a British Asian, become the Prime Minister. October 24 was seen by many Indians and British Asians a day to celebrate a “double Diwali.”
BBC South Asia Correspondent Rajini Vaidyanathan tweeted that Sunak becoming PM was being seen as “landmark moment” in India, while Indian broadcaster NDTV boomed: “Indian son rises over the empire. History comes full circle in Britain.”
Countering all this was presenter Ravish Kumar, also of NDTV, who correctly portrayed Sunak as a representative of the tax-dodging rich and multinational corporations.
