On the afternoon of October 24, local time in the UK, former British Chancellor Rich Sunak took over the position of head of the British ruling Conservative Party, which means that he will replace the current British Prime Minister Tras, who has announced his resignation, becoming the third British prime minister since the beginning of this year. However, just as British public opinion is analyzing how he will stabilize the situation in the Conservative Party and the UK, on the other side of the world, many Indian netizens and media people are mixed with feelings about the Indian-born Sunak coming to become the British Prime Minister .
Among them, many Indian netizens and some media people feel that India, which was once a British colony, now someone wants to become the Prime Minister of Britain, and it happened in the 75th year of India's independence and the days when Indians are celebrating India's "Diwali Festival", which makes them feel like they are "being the master of their own country".
Some people also said that although Sunak is not an Indian citizen and his election as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is not a victory for India, he does have a deep relationship with India. In addition to his Indian identity, he is also the son-in-law of N.R. Narayana Murthy, the co-founder of the world-renowned Indian enterprise Infosys (Infosys).
However, there are also some people who hope that India can learn something from Sunak's upcoming British Prime Minister, such as learning to respect minorities. Supporters of the Indian opposition Congress Party said Sunak's experience taught a lesson to the Indian Congress leader, Sonya Gandhi , who is a "foreigner". Public information shows that Sonia Gandhi was born in Italy, but he had automatically lost his Italian nationality when he became a naturalized Indian in 1983. At that time, Italy did not support dual nationality .
