Durban – After colonising and enslaving the subcontinent of India for centuries all for the needs of the \u201cEmpire\u201d, the United Kingdom has finally shown signs that they are embracing change and willing to work together.<\/p>\n
This, after the UK elected its first Indian Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak.<\/p>\n
Sunak was elected on one of the most auspicious occasions of the Hindu calendar year, Diwali.<\/p>\n
Sunak is the second politician of Asian descent to assume a leading role in the UK, after London Mayor Sadiq Khan.<\/p>\n
With a history in finance, Sunak\u2019s apparent role is for him to rescue Great Britain from its \u201cworst economic\u201d climate in years.<\/p>\n
Khan\u2019s grandparents migrated from Lucknow, following the divisions between Pakistan and India. His parents arrived from Pakistan in London in 1968.<\/p>\n
With Khan in London and Sunak at 10 Downing Street, both of whom are followers of Islamic and Hindu religions, respectively, it could mean that the Brit\u2019s have finally accepted change.<\/p>\n Other signs in the leadership of the Tory government which suggest they are undergoing duress, is the fact that their previous PM, Liz Truss, lasted 49 days in office.<\/p>\n To throw another spanner into the works, Truss had met two leaders of the British monarchy, namely, the late Queen Elizabeth and her son, Prince Charles, who now stands to be King of England – in her 49-day reign.<\/p>\n In the 49 days, the British monarchy had also met with two \u201cnew\u201d Prime Ministers.<\/p>\n South African born comedian, Trevor Noah, in his sketch on the Daily Show this week, touches on the subject, and also introduces the view of a caller to a British radio station, who had a lot to say about Sunak\u2019s appointment.<\/p>\n \u201cIs this issue that Rishi Sunak is a brown man and you don\u2019t trust him at the top of this country?\u201d the radio host asks the caller.<\/p>\n \u201cWell could you imagine him going to the Scottish Nationalists and being the Prime Minister of the Scottish Nationalists? Could you imagine me becoming the Prime Minister of Pakistan? Or Saudi Arabia?<\/p>\n \u201cNo, these things matter. I\u2019m sorry you don\u2019t like it. We\u2019re talking about ENGLAND right. 85% of English people are white people. And they wanna see a PM that reflects them,\u201d the caller said.<\/p>\n Excellent Rishi Sunak edition of The Daily Show! \u201cI am selling the entire country to India, you ********\u201d. Must must watch!! \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02pic.twitter.com\/SVReH4uMc2<\/a><\/p>\n\n
