New British prime minister

Date:

Despite being a Hindu by religion,
Rishi Sunak is not inclined to support .
There are high expectations for Rishi Sunak, who will become the third Prime Minister in two months, not least because he has the expertise as a former
finance minister to address the economic crisis that Britain is currently experiencing. He is a Thatcherite, just like Liz Truss, his immediate predecessor. “I hold
Thatcherite values. I value honesty, family, and hard work. He declared in a newspaper, “I am a Thatcherite, I am running as a Thatcherite, and I will rule as a
Thatcherite.
But there is another distinction between him and his predecessor in this regard: Sunak favours a pragmatic approach, as opposed to Truss' doctrinaire
acceptance of Thatcherite ideals. Truss came out as impatient and wanting to rush through Thatcherite measures like tax cuts without considering the
financial position. Her prior announcements had a significant impact on bond markets because public finance is connected to inflation and interest rates.
However, the fallout left her shaken; he had to fire her finance minister and abandon the measures. She thought that doing this would “reassure the
markets of our fiscal discipline,” but nothing of the like occurred. Her political position became untenable as a result of her policy U-turn, which forced her
to resign.
He has been blunt in his criticism of Truss's hasty choices from the start. Several months ago, when the two candidates were vying for the position of prime minister, Sunak
stated his doubts about Truss' ambitious and audacious ambitions, which now appear terrible. Sunak's Thatcherism appears to be more founded than Truss', which was
characterised by ideological fervour. Which is hardly shocking considering his history as an entrepreneur and banker.
Sunak, who is also the first British Asian and Hindu Prime Minister of the UK, is the son-in-law of Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy. According to a British Government
website, the 42-year-old attended Winchester College and majored in , philosophy, and economics at Oxford University.
At Stanford University in the United States, where he pursued his MBA, he was also a Fulbright Scholar. Sunak never lived in India, yet many Indians
are enjoying his ascent in a vicarious way. The fact that a Hindu is now in charge of Britain, which controlled India for more than two centuries, has
delighted the saffron brigade. Deshbhakts are becoming more ecstatic and utilising the term “reverse colonialism,” as if we had somehow righted a wrong
from the past. Since Sunak doesn't seem any more British than his predecessors, serious Indians should dismiss such ideas with the contempt they
deserve. Although he is a devoted Hindu and his Diwali pictures have gone viral, it is doubtful that his religion will have an impact on how Indo-British
relations develop.
Nothing in his past has indicated that he will take any action that would be advantageous to India. Last but not least, Sunak's success refutes the
myths that Left-liberals continue to propagate about racism in Western society. Which non-Western country would appoint a white person to lead it?
