Inauguration of Hindu Prime Minister of Britain – Day

Rishi Sunak is historic because it was the first time a Hindu was practiced in Christian-influenced Great Britain.

After some period of political turmoil, a new Prime Minister was sworn in for Great Britain. Rishi Sunak of the Conservative Tory Party made history by becoming the first Hindu President of this European country. Unlike his predecessors, he did not swear on the Bible, but on the Hindu scripture Bhagavad Gita.

Gives me strength

Rishi Sunak, 42, a longtime politician, does not often speak publicly about his Hindu faith. But two years ago, when he lit a symbolic candle during the pandemic when the festival of Dawali was celebrated, he later said:

– My faith gives me strength and a purpose. It’s part of who I am.

In fact, Rishi Sunak attended a Diwali reception at 10 Downing Street a few days after he was elected Prime Minister.

“I will do everything I can to create a Britain where our children and grandchildren can light their Diwali candles and look to the future with hope,” she posted a photo of herself on Twitter. A traditional rose garland around her neck.

Rishi Sunak was born in Great Britain but has Indian roots and his parents came to the country in the 1960s. That he will now become Prime Minister will be a landmark for the multicultural and multi-religious country he now leads.

His election as Britain’s new leader, which took place through an internal Tory party process, reverberated not only in India but across the world. It is proudly reported there that Rishi Sunak will now lead former colonial power Great Britain and many believe this will lead to further rapprochement between the countries.

Rishi Sunak is also said to be a friend of Israel and may follow his representative Liz Truss’ plan to move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
