10 Things About UK's first non-white PM, Rishi Sunak's Indian Origins

By becoming the first Prime Minister of Indian descent in Britain, Rishi Sunak has written history. Boris Johnson, his former boss, and Penny Mordaunt were unable to secure the support of 100 MPs necessary to run in the elections. King Charles will invite Sunak, one of the wealthiest MPs in Westminster who is expected to become the nation's first leader of colour, to form a government in place of the departing Liz Truss, who held the position for just 44 days before resigning.

Here are 10 things about UK's first non-white PM Rishi Sunak:

1. In the Parliament, Yorkshire's Rishi Sunak took an oath based on the Bhagavad Gita. He did so first among UK legislators.
2. He was criticized on several fronts during his campaign for the PM position in the summer of 2022, including his opulent home, pricey outfits, and shoes. Rishi said that the Bhagavad Gita frequently saves him from difficult circumstances and serves as a reminder to do his duty.
3. His parents are both of Indian ancestry. In the 1960s, Sunak's parents, who were pharmacists, immigrated to the UK from East Africa. Usha Sunak, Sunak's mother, was a pharmacist, while Sunak's father, Yashvir Sunak, worked as a medical practitioner for the National Health Service.
4. Education was a crucial component of parenting in the Sunak household, as it is in the majority of Indian homes.
5. Former investment banker Rishi Sunak is a Stanford University alum.
6. He frequently talks about his heritage and how his family constantly reminded him of his culture and morals. 
7. He lit Diwali diyas in his Downing Street house while serving as Chancellor of the Exchequer under Boris Johnson's direction. Recently, performed Gau Puja to celebrate Janmashtami in Bhaktivedanta Manor in London
8. He is married to Akshata Murty, the daughter of Infosys CEO Narayana Murthy in 2009, whom he met when he was studying for MBA at Stanford University in California. They have Krishna and Anoushka as their daughters.
9. Rishi Sunak has a passion for the game of cricket.
10. He has heavily invested in UK real estate and has a net worth of over 700 million pounds, even greater than King Charles. In addition to their Yorkshire estate, Rishi and his wife Akshata also own a home in Kensington in the heart of London. Sunak and his wife even made their debut in the annual ‘Sunday Times Rich List’ earlier this year.
