It must indeed be a good feeling for the Indian Diaspora to see Rishi Sunak as the newest and youngest Prime Minister of Britain, bringing to end days of uncertainty and hopefully ushering in an era of stability.

In political defeat then and victory now Sunak has shown in a short span of time that the need of the hour is unity in face of some highly challenging times for his country, domestically and in the realm of foreign policy. The quick turnaround in the political scene has not stopped a speculation that Britain may be heading for a general election. But that is for time to tell.
