Seeing a friend teased that Indians are about to wake up when they sleep.
Indeed, 2022 is a very good year for India, and now it is at least four happy things.
The first joy . India is now during Diwali, and Diwali is the most lively and festive day in India.
The second joy , India has just celebrated its 75th anniversary of independence, and the year when it is five or ten is naturally more festive.
The third one is , India GDP surpasses Britain, and is now fifth in the world. The former colony surpassed the sect leader country, how can we not be happy? The fourth joy of
is that the Indian Sunak , who became the British Prime Minister . And it set two history: 1. He is the first Indian Prime Minister in history in Britain; 2. At the age of 42, he is the youngest Prime Minister in Britain in more than 200 years.
So, this is also a very interesting scene. The person who is most happy about the new British Prime Minister coming to power is not the British, but the Indian.
At least some Indians are ecstatic: The British bullied India back then, but now the Indians lead the UK.
So, India is very happy from the top to the bottom of Sunak. Indian Prime Minister Modi even tweeted the first time, sending his warmest congratulations to Sunak, and looking forward to "transforming our historical relationship into modern partnerships."
What is the historical relationship?
Modi said it very implicitly, it is actually the historical relationship between Britain's colonization, oppression, exploitation of India, and discrimination against India. Otherwise, Sunak's grandparents and grandparents would not go to East Africa (also a British colony) to make a living from India and gave birth to their children in Africa. The second generation later immigrated to the UK and gave birth to Sunak in the UK.
Of course, for Indians, I think Sunak is very friendly, and there are at least three factors:
first layer , he has Indian blood;
second layer , he married an Indian girl, the daughter of a super rich Indian tycoon, and she still retains Indian nationality;
third layer , Sunak is still very Indian. He openly believes in Hindu , participates in Diwali activities, and pays tribute to Shenniu . At the same time, when he was sworn in as the Minister of Finance, he was sworn in with Hindu religious classics.
Therefore, although living in the UK, there will definitely be no beef at Sunak's house. Of course, after all, Sunak also pays attention to balance in the UK.
Sunak himself said, "My parents immigrated to the UK for the sake of life. My cultural background means that I want to go to the Hindu temple on weekends because I am an Hindus, but every Saturday, I will definitely go to the local football game. Both are indispensable to me."
This is Sunak's cleverness, and he is really good at everything.
Compared with Indians' ecstasy, British people feel more mixed.
welcomes Sunak to the stage, and all the top figures in the UK. It should be said that after so many ups and downs, the population of the British Empire has also diversified, and the British have also figured it out in general and then publicly discriminated against Indians. This is suspected of racial discrimination, which is obviously a political incorrect.
But what about privately?
Watch a TV program in the UK, and some listeners call to complain: Sunak is not a real British, some things are very important... 85% of British people are white, and they hope that the Prime Minister is the Prime Minister who can represent them...
Of course, the host also joked: is right, you are right, can you imagine that British white people rule a country different from them? Oh, it hasn't happened before.(Sarcastic of Britain's original colonial aggression)
Then, he continued to sarcasticly: Some British people voted to leave the EU, and the most important point was to make Britain a white world (rejecting foreign immigrants). But I knew that the next was a chain reaction of 7 years, and the final direct consequence, an Indian Prime Minister came to power...
In this world, many things are slapped in the face.
is a bit far-reaching, but Sunak becomes the British Prime Minister, and we do see the unusualness of Indians.
is good. India is not rich overall, and there are many Indians living under the poverty line, but don’t look down on Indians.
At least internationally, among the top 500 companies in the United States, there are more than 80 people in charge who are descendants of India.
CEO of IBM, CEO of Google , CEO of Microsoft , FedEx , CEO of Twitter , etc., all have Indian ancestry. Why is this happening to
?
I always feel that is the diligence and intelligence of Indians. Moreover, more importantly, like Chinese people, they attach great importance to education .
Take Sunak's family as an example. The grandparents were relatively poor, otherwise they would not have gone to Africa to make a living, but they were particularly willing to spend money in education, so the second generation went out of Africa and became a middle-class person in the UK. They gave birth to the third generation, and even spared no expense to let them go to private schools for education and go to Oxford and Stanford to further their studies...
Of course, For many Indians, the four joys are not enough, and they are still looking forward to the fifth joy.
Don’t forget that the current Vice President of the United States, , Harris , also has Indian ancestry. Everyone sees the recent performance of Biden in the 80-year-old . A few days ago, when he celebrated Diwali in India, he spoke again and said to Harris, who had just celebrated his 58th birthday: "Happy birthday to this great president! We know that your mother will always be with you."
President Biden said: Harris, the great president? !
Therefore, many Indians hope that Biden can retire early due to health problems, and Harris will take over as US President. In this case, the United States and Britain are both descendants of India in power, which is an unprecedented event.
Finally, what do you think?
is three simple points.
first, India is indeed rising. The most fundamental manifestation of the rise of
is India's economic strength. India's GDP surpasses the UK in 2022, which is an important milestone. Development is the hard truth.
Of course, there are outstanding performances of overseas Indians. In addition to a large number of Indian CEOs and scientists, don’t forget that presidents or prime ministers of Indian descent have appeared in Portugal, Fiji , Ireland , Guyana , Malaysia , Mauritius , Singapore, Suriname and Seychelles and other countries.
India has a lot of talents all over the world, this is a fact. Of course, another problem is that the outflow of Indian talents is also shocking.
second, India should not be too happy.
We should also see that Indians are not always consistent with Indian national interests.
is possible. This kind of blood relationship will indeed make the two countries close; but it is more likely that in order to avoid suspicion, the other party's decision-making is more cautious, and he dare not be too friendly to India.
If you don’t believe it, just read it. Sunak's Britain and Modi's India might have a falling out one day.
Third, culture is the most lasting force.
The past 300 years have been the most humiliating 300 years for Indians. When India was independent, Churchill said contemptuously that all Indian leaders were low-quality scarecrows .When the colonial famine caused more than 3 million Indians to die, Churchill also said: Indians will breed like rabbits, don't worry...
Feng Shui takes turns, but now Indians are starting to lead the UK. I always feel that there are the hard work and struggle of Indians, and the fertility rate is high, but the most important thing is education and culture. India's long-standing culture is destined to shine even if India is destined to shine.
In fact, if India had not been independent 75 years ago, it would not be the issue of Indians leading the UK today, but the UK was completely assimilated by India, and the British would speak Indian English. Of course, the shrewd British would not do such a loss-making business even if they were beaten to death.
Therefore, cultural confidence is a more basic, broader and deeper confidence, and is the most basic, deepest and most lasting force in the development of a country and a nation.
Culture will not be abandoned, civilization will inevitably be revived. Of course, the process will not develop in a straight line, and politics is full of variables. does not rule out that Sunak was ousted by the British one day, and then was denounced: These Indians are indeed very unreliable...
