October 24, 2022, is the traditional Hindu festival "Diwali".
On this special day, former British Chancellor of the Exchequer Sunak won the election for the leadership of the British Conservative Party.
On October 25, Sunak accepted the official appointment of King Charles III at Buckingham Palace in England.
This announced that Sunak was officially elected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, becoming the first "Indian" Prime Minister in British history.
It is also the first coloured person in British history to serve as prime minister.
The impact on British society is no less than when the black Barack Obama was elected president of the United States.
What is Sunak's identity and why was he able to stand out in white society and successfully run for British Prime Minister?
What thrilling stories have he experienced in his 8 years of political career?
Today, we will talk about the legendary life of Sunak, the first "Indian-born" prime minister of the United Kingdom.
As we all know, in India, there is a very strict caste system, which divides the locals into three, six, nine, and so on.
Although legally, India has abolished the caste system.
But the culture is still deeply ingrained in India and will be difficult to eradicate anytime soon.
Low-caste people, if not the "chosen son", in fact, it is difficult to achieve "salted fish turnover".
To be elected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Sunak is naturally not from a low caste, but one of India's four major castes.
But in fact, Sunak, although of "Indian descent", grew up in England.
Even his parents, for most of their lives, grew up in the British colony of East Africa.
His father grew up in Kenya and his mother grew up in Tanzania.
After the two met, they accumulated a lot of wealth by doing business.
So, in 1962, the two moved to Southampton, England.
In 1980, Sunak was born, and he was born with the aura of "rich second generation".
In order to cultivate him to become a talent, his parents spent a lot of resources and money on him.
As a teenager, he attended Winchester College, England, which was founded in 1382 and was the most famous boarding school for aristocratic families in England.
The annual cost of optics is 50,000 pounds, and Wang Sicong has attended this school since he was a child.
Counted, Sunak and Wang Sicong are still alumni.
After graduating from secondary school, Sunak entered Oxford University, where he studied politics and economics.
After graduating from college, Sunak joined Goldman Sachs, became a securities analyst and began managing hedge funds.
At the age of 27, in order to take his career to the next level, he chose to go to the United States to go to the United States to study at Stanford Graduate School.
It was this decision that changed Sunak's life.
While pursuing an MBA, he met his wife, Morty.
Morty's father is the founder of India's famous IT network "Infosys" and one of the first people in India to engage in networking.
Known locally as India's Bill Gates.
In 1999, Infosys was listed in the United States, setting a record for the most expensive stock in history at that time.
As of 2021, the market value of Infosys stock has exceeded $100 billion.
Became the fourth internet company in India with a total market capitalization of more than $100 billion.
With such a rich woman, Sunak's life is already destined and she will definitely mix well in the business world.
Therefore, he seized the opportunity to enter the palace of marriage hand in hand with Morty after graduating from college.
As a self-made IT magnate, his father-in-law was quite satisfied with Sunak's status as an "Indian-British aristocracy."
The combination of "Indian-British aristocracy" and "India's native rich and rich" has also been a good story in the local area.
I thought that after marriage, with the blessing of my father-in-law, Sunak could join the business elite, make a lot of money, and enjoy a good life.
Unexpectedly, after marriage, his life ushered in great changes again.
He did not choose to go to the sea to do business, but entered the political arena and began to march towards a higher peak of power.
Sunak attaches great importance to the accumulation of contacts, and the reason why he went to the United States to gild is also to meet more social elites.
After entering the wealthy family, Sunak doubled his value, allowing him to meet people at a higher level, even high-ranking officials from the government.
This makes Sunak feel very pity, such a good resource, if only used for business, is too tyrannical.
So, he came up with the idea of going into politics.
He told his father-in-law about the idea, and he received strong support from his father-in-law.
He felt that he had come a long way in business.
If the son-in-law can be in the UK, this once Indian "suzerainty" political scene is in a high position.
For the whole family, it is enough to be called "Guangzong Yaozu".
So, in 2014, Sunak, who was only 34 years old, set off with his dream of politics.
In 2014, Yorkshire MP Haig was about to retire after 26 years of work, also known as the "iron vote bank" of the British Conservative Party.
In other words, whoever can take over Haig's position after his retirement will most likely become the leader of the Conservative Party in the future.
Such a fat difference made many people salivate, and soon, four people joined the competition.
They are veteran politicians who have been in politics for many years, veterans who have been in the army for many years, and veteran cadres with many years of community experience.
The fourth place, naturally, is Sunak.
At the beginning of the campaign, everyone was not optimistic about him.
A newcomer, only 34 years old, without any experience, why fight with people?
But the final result, to everyone's surprise, Sunak actually had Haig's full support.
As for the reason, Haig said in an interview.
"I believe that the addition of Sunak, a newcomer, can inject a fresh force into this ancient place of Yorkshire!"
Of course, this is only on the surface.
In fact, although Sunak is young, he has no fresh power, and the only thing he has is the huge fund given by his father-in-law.
Although he is only 34 years old, he is already a co-administrator of a $1 billion foundation.
With such a huge amount of money, where to invest? I think old Yorkshire is a very good choice.
In 2014, Sunak met with Haig, and since then, he has almost hand-in-hand taught the white man how to handle government affairs.
Contacting merchants, giving speeches, negotiating with citizens, etc., Haig took Sunak with him wherever he went.
Haig, who has been in Yorkshire for 26 years, knows all too well what the locals want, and is certainly not wrong to follow the hair
Soon, this Sunak, with a British aristocratic accent, gained the favor of the locals.
Coupled with Haig's trust, Sunak soon gained the full support of the locals.
In this way, Sunak was successfully elected to the Yorkshire MP and entered the British Parliament with almost no obstacles.
He also became the youngest "minority" MP in British history.
After entering Congress, Sunak served as the head of the Black and Minority Research Group, in addition to his day-to-day work.
Because he is of "Indian origin" himself, it is understandable to be the leader of the group.
But in fact, this is not a fat difference, but a big trouble.
The Black and Minority Research Group, which sounds powerful, has little presence in the British Parliament.
Most of the time, this group is used to carry the pot.
It is reported that in Britain, because of historical problems, the crime rate of local minorities is much higher than that of whites.
Every time a vicious case occurs, the black and minority research group has to stand up and suffer from the infamy of British netizens.
So, after entering Congress, Sunak worked while looking for ways to continue climbing the ladder.
In the end, he really found it.
In 2016, the Brexit event made a lot of noise, which had a huge impact on the United Kingdom, but also made politicians smell a trace of interest.
For example, former British Prime Minister Johnson rose step by step by supporting Brexit and eventually sat in the position of prime minister.
At that time, the British Parliament was divided into two factions, one was the Brexiteers and the other was the Remainers.
The two factions have reached the point where they are incompatible, and if they want to gain a foothold in Congress, they can only choose sides.
As a Yorkshire councillor and head of the Black and Minority Research Group, Sunak is naturally not exempt from the vulgarity.
He is a staunch Brexiteer and has persevered very thoroughly.
After Johnson took office, Sunak did not contribute to Brexit.
Of course, he chose the "Brexiteers", not without willingness, and in his capacity, he has no choice but to support the "Brexiteers".
At that time, Britain was closely tied to the European Union and could only choose to leave the European Union if it wanted to gain more benefits in Asia and the Americas.
After Brexit, the UK can focus all its efforts on Asia and the Americas.
Especially with India, under the guidance of Sunak, the father-in-law and the capital behind him will have the opportunity to increase their wealth greatly.
This is what "Indians", including Sunak, want to see
With Sunak's unremitting efforts, he soon gained Johnson's trust.
Johnson took him with him wherever he went, and Sunak became his follower and his right hand man.
As it turned out, Sunak was right in his bet, and after the referendum, Britain officially left Europe.
This represents the overall victory of the "Brexiteers" in the Conservative Party, and a large number of core positions are all taken over by the "Brexiteers".
As a major contributor, Sunak also managed to get rid of the Black and Minority Studies Group and became the Deputy Secretary of State for Local Affairs.
At this time, Sunak was only 39 years old.
That year, Sunak began writing the Brexit Vision Report.
In the report, he proposed the "free port plan", which surprised many politicians.
Sunak suggested adding ten new free ports in the UK to deepen economic cooperation with India, the United States, Australia and other regions.
In other words, it is to hold India with the left hand and the United States with the right hand, and embark on the road of "common development".
Unfortunately, during Theresa May's administration, pressure from all sides made Brexit extremely difficult.
Therefore, she decided to abandon the Brexit plan and hold a second referendum.
Sunak doesn't think so, even in the most difficult moments, he is still a staunch Brexiteer.
In Parliament, he publicly expressed support for Theresa May to continue Brexit and opposed the re-holding of a second referendum.
In the end, Theresa May could not stand the pressure, bowed in parliament and announced her official resignation as British prime minister.
After that, Johnson successfully came to power, continued the Brexit plan, and promoted Sunak to the position of British finance minister.
At this time, after becoming a parliamentarian, he actually did not make any achievements, relying on the huge financial support behind him.
In 2020, the epidemic swept the world, and Sunak, who had just come to power, decided to take up a new official for three fires.
In this year, he launched the "Big Coin Project", which caused a huge crisis in the British finances.
The "Big Coin Project" is a total of four steps.
1. The government spends £30 billion in additional spending to send money to the British.
2. Extend loans for UK businesses.
3. Reducing taxes on British businesses, tax cuts, will reduce the British government's revenue by 330 billion pounds.
4. Pay 80% of the wages to British people who cannot go to work due to the epidemic.
These fires made Sunak completely famous in front of the British people.
The British people know that in the British Parliament, a "for the sake of the people" political rookie is rising.
But Sunak did not realize how much of a burden his policies were placing on Britain's finances.
In 2022, Truss was elected as the new prime minister of the United Kingdom, and in order to revive the domestic economy, she once again launched the "money plan".
The British market was in an uproar, because they all knew that the UK could no longer be in debt.
In the end, Truss's "plan to throw money" failed, and after only 44 days, she was forced to resign as British prime minister.
Sunak may not have expected that his "big coin throwing plan" did not explode on him, but pulled Truss from power.
He also relied on his good image in the hearts of the British people to successfully be elected as the new British Prime Minister.
At this time, he was only 42 years old.
end
Throughout Sunak's life, apart from the collapse of the economy, it seems that he has not achieved anything too extraordinary.
The success of coming to power is all due to the amazing capital behind him and the money thrown at the British people.
Can such a prime minister really lead the LinkedIn country to prosperity again?
Let's wait and see.
