Many friends may feel strange, How is the current British Prime Minister Sunak, is an Indian.
Don't be surprised, this is a matter of time sooner or later, not Sunak, there will be Zhenake and Guangnake in the future. The history of the British Empire has led to an increasingly diversified population composition, which determines this is an inevitable trend.
Well, The British oppressed the Indians back then, but now the Indians lead the British.
But if we put aside the grudges and grievances such as politics and history, the 42-year-old Sunak becomes the British Prime Minister is generally an inspiring story.
His Indian grandparents and grandparents left their hometown and left Punjab , crossed the ocean to East Africa to make a living. In Tanzania and Kenya , they gave birth to Sunak's father and mother. Indians overseas attach great importance to education, the second generation studied hard, and finally immigrated to the UK as doctors, becoming the middle class in the UK.
is the second generation in India in the UK, and he is not stingy in education of his children. His eldest son Sunak studied in private schools since he was a child, studied undergrad in Oxford, studied MBA in Stanford, and also plating gold and making money in Goldman Sachs and hedge fund . In the United States, he met his future wife, the daughter of an Indian billionaire.
Diligent, smart, and vigorous ambitions. Sunak, who was not satisfied with financial freedom, later went into politics, started as a parliamentarian, later became the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and now the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, leading the British people who were increasingly dissatisfied with the status quo.
This post-80s generation has created two history: 1. The first Indian Prime Minister in history in the UK; 2. The youngest Prime Minister in the UK in more than 200 years. Is that all about
?
But if you look closely, there should be a lot more.
He looks Indian, but he is a very typical British person at heart. He studied at , Winchester Public School , a top private school in the UK, trained at least six British Chancellors; he studied philosophy, politics and economics in Oxford, and many British Prime Ministers studied this major.
He is familiar with finance. After graduating from Oxford, he went to work at Goldman Sachs. Don’t forget that London is one of the world’s financial centers. Later, he traveled across the ocean to study for an MBA at Stanford, the United States, and continued to improve his studies. After coming out, I went to hedge funds to make a lot of money.
In the UK, although there is not much emphasis on aristocratic families now, glamorous education and resume are very important. Sunak is an Indian, but to some extent, he is even more British than the British.
Moreover, has an extraordinary political skill.
Although she was born in 1980, Sunak is definitely a veteran in politics. In 2010, he started working for the Conservative Party and was successfully elected as a Conservative Party MP in 2015.
He is an Indian, but the firm Brexitist believes that only Brexit can the UK "better free, fairer, and more prosperous." So, during the administration of Theresa May, he was quickly appreciated and held important positions in the government. When Theresa May cried and left 10 Downing Street , he became the new prime minister Johnson and was appointed Deputy Secretary of the Treasury.
Politics is always full of variables. When his immediate boss, Chancellor Javid, and Johnson, had a fierce conflict, Sunak stood on Johnson without hesitation. Johnson did not treat him badly, and quickly promoted him to replace Javid as Chancellor of the Exchequer. That year, he was only 39 years old, and was one of the youngest officials in British history to hold this important position.
The epidemic caused a heavy blow to the UK, but Sunak was a blessing in disguise. His frequent appearances, his outstanding eloquence and elegance made him famous and recognized as the "star of tomorrow" in British politics.
But Johnson quickly felt a knife behind Sunak.When Johnson was caught in a hiring scandal, other Conservatives were still waiting and watching, and Sunak flatly announced his resignation, thus becoming the most important straw to overturn Johnson. Johnson was forced to step down after being betrayed by his relatives.
Although Sunak lost to Tras in the subsequent competition for the Prime Minister. But he knew that Trass's first fire burned on him and had to step down soon. Johnson once found Sunak privately, hoping that the latter would support him, the old leader, to make a comeback and he could give Sunak an important position.
But the two obviously broke down in the talks, and the position of the Finance Minister could no longer satisfy Sunak. In the end, Johnson left in disappointment, and Sunak successfully ascended the throne of the Prime Minister without any bloodshed.
Of course, Sunak can make his own abilities and political skills, and there is another aspect that is not recognized by many people: wealth.
Sunak, who once worked at Goldman Sachs, is very rich, but the daughter of the rich Indian tycoon is even richer. According to the estimates of " Times ", the young couple's current wealth is at least $800 million. Of course, no matter how much money is, it will not be too much. As an Indian, Mrs. Sunak is said to have more than $20 million in tax avoidance in a year.
Therefore, Sunak is definitely not an ordinary Indian. He is a super rich man among British Indians, and is even much richer than most British Prime Ministers. In fact, one important reason for his initial loss to Tras was not his Indian identity, but because he was too rich. Many Conservatives were worried that such a super rich man might not understand the troubles of ordinary British people who were struggling for life as a leader.
But in the end, the God of Luck took special care of him. Less has been in power for less than two months, and he collapsed. The 42-year-old Sunak has made a mistake and has the last laugh.
Of course, in the past seven years, the UK has changed five prime ministers, and the British economy is in crisis. is the most special one (after all, he is very young and Indian), whether he can gain a foothold and avoid repeating the mistakes of Johnson and Trass' downfall depends on Sunak's yoga skills.
It is really happy to see Indians. Indian Prime Minister Modi immediately sent the warmest congratulations, saying that he was looking forward to working with Sunakdo, "Transform our historical relationship into a modern partnership, and express the blessing of Diwali to this Indian-born British 'living bridge'."
Seeing someone's comment, it seems that the British have figured it out, but if there were no discrimination against Indians back then, perhaps India would not have left the British Empire. Of course, there must have been Indians as prime ministers to lead the UK. But the key is, is this possible?
Looking back, the rise of the young Sunak is indeed a very inspiring story. Despite the final outcome, we still don't know. This story, struggle changes life, and a simple summary is:
Poor Indian grandparents went to East Africa to make a living, gave birth to the second generation there, the second generation studied hard, fled Africa with a sharp head, became a middle-class person in the UK, and invested heavily in education for the third generation (it was very similar to our overseas Chinese). Sunak went to private schools since childhood, then went to Oxford Stanford, and worked at Goldman Sachs and hedge funds after graduation. Finally, he met the daughter of an Indian billionaire (when he went around, the Indian natives were richer), and he suddenly had full financial freedom. In the end, this ambitious Indian became the British Prime Minister and began to lead the British who were increasingly worried about life...
The world has really changed.
