London, October 25

Just seven weeks after he lost out in the previous Tory leadership contest, Rishi Sunak has scripted an impressive political comeback in British politics to be on course to become the first Indian-origin prime minister who will seek to change the UK-India relationship to make it more two-way.

Sunak, 42, was elected Conservative Party leader on Monday, marking a very special Diwali for the former Chancellor of Exchequer who will enter 10 Downing Street to be the youngest British prime minister in 210 years after his audience with King Charles III at Buckingham Palace.

Sunak’s vision for India-UK bilateral ties has gone beyond the opportunity for the UK to sell things in India, wanting Britain to also “learn from India”.

During the campaign in the previous Tory leadership contest, the former investment banker had said he wants to change the UK-India relationship to make it more of a two-way exchange that opens up easy access to UK students and companies in India.
