The biggest breaking point in recent international news is the UK! Rishi Sunak, who hastily stepped down and then took over Britain's newest prime minister, is actually an Indian first-timer, the first Asian-American prime minister in British history and the youngest British prime minister in more than 200 years.
After eating melons, Berry found that the Indian-American prime minister had several identity characteristics: "elite education, people of color (minorities), second-generation immigrants, vegetarians, Hindu beliefs" and various Buffs.
It is really dramatic to know that India was once a British colony, and now the United Kingdom accepts an Indian from a former colony as prime minister. So, what kind of achievements must be achieved to break through the "racial identity" and enter the class-solidified, conservative British political circle?
In Sunak, we can see the epitome of the times, he is exactly the group of people who rushed to catch the wave of India's elites going to sea, is the real ceiling of run-learning, and today's article will carefully analyze the "ins and outs" of how this prime minister succeeded.
Bringing your family to the UK and achieving the first step across the elite!
Historically, India has had four major waves of migration:
The first was before the 17th century; The second was produced in the 18th century during the Western colonial period; The third occurred after World War II; The fourth is from the end of the 60s of the 20th century. These four major waves of migration have resulted in more than 200 million people in India in 100 countries on six continents.
Sunak's family coincided with the fourth wave of migration in the 1960s, coming from the northern Indian state of Punjab and immigrating to Britain from his grandparents' generation before starting from scratch in the UK.

In Sunak's parents' generation, they chose India's most respected and class-acrossing profession: doctor. His father, Yashvir, is a general practitioner in the National Health Service (NHS) and his mother, Usha, is a pharmacist who runs a pharmacy in Southampton, England.

Such a couple's professional combination is very typical among overseas immigrants of Indian descent, a big reason is because the Indian caste system is solidified, doctors, lawyers and other professions often belong to the profession of India's high-caste people, if you come from a low-caste family, the best way is to run out and find another way.
The couple has three children, all of whom were cultivated by a typical elite education, and it can be found that their parents intended to send their children into politics when they were young:
Sunak, now Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, is the eldest son, the second son Sanjay is a clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist, and daughter Laki works for the United Nations.
The first is to study at the best private schools in the area.
Due to their parents' considerable income, they successfully enrolled their children in the best local private school, the famous Winchester College, which is the top boys' boarding school in the UK, with the motto "Manners Makyth Man" (Manners makes people) as the school motto, and is also one of the nine public schools in the United Kingdom.
▲ The famous Eton College and King's College Cambridge system originated in Winchester, because the founder also founded the New College of Oxford University, graduates are likely to successfully enter Oxford, Actually Your husband Wang Sicong is also from Winchester (embarrassing);
Second, moral, intellectual, physical and aesthetic development, as a person of color, to achieve the position of chairman in the school:
During his time at the school, Sunak achieved excellent results in both GCSE and A-level exams, was elected president of the student council, and focused on cricket, hockey, football and other sports, and later played for Winchester.
Third, cultivate the independence of children, high-caliber students, and families with superior families should also go to work:
After graduating from secondary school, Sunak worked as a summer waitress at an Indian restaurant on the Southampton waterfront. According to him, his parents encouraged him from an early age to contribute more to community service.
Fourth, be admitted to top universities and study political science related majors:
He then entered Lincoln College, Oxford, where he studied philosophy, political science and economics (PPE), known as the "cradle of British politicians", and obtained a first-class degree.
Although he became the new elite in the eyes of the public, he had a deep-rooted "elite first" concept in his thinking.
In a 2001 BBC documentary about the middle class, as a student, Sunak told reporters that he had friends of the aristocratic upper class, as well as friends of the working class, and then corrected himself: "Well, not the working class. ”

Marry the Indian "Bill Gates" and surpass the king in wealth
After graduating, Sunak joined investment bank Goldman Sachs as an analyst while he moved to London where his parents bought him a £210,000 apartment in South Kensington. He then worked at Children's Investment Fund Management, a hedge fund manager, where he became a partner in September 2006.
Christopher Hohn, the founder of Children's Investment Fund Management (TCI), is one of the most successful hedge fund managers in the UK, and TCI is also one of the largest high-performing hedge funds in the UK.
After working for 3 years, the 24-year-old Sunak won a Fulbright scholarship to pursue an MBA at Stanford University in California. It was also at Stanford that he met Akshata Murthy, the daughter of Indian billionaire and owner of tech giant Infosys.
Let me give you a look at the origin of Sunak's well-known rich second-generation wife, the whole family is from a prestigious school, and the family members are rooted in the top education circle in North America.
Her father is NR Narayana Murthy, a billionaire known as "Bill Gates of India," who founded Infosys, a software company in the 1980s that is currently worth about $76.6 billion and is now India's sixth-richest man.
Mother Sudha Murty, a quintessential descendant of an Indian educator, writer and philanthropist, also earned a PhD in computer science from the Indian Institute of Science and was the first female engineer to work for the automaker TELCO.
Bottom line: MIT's Deshpande Center for Technology Innovation and Harvard's Murthy Classical Library in India are sponsored by her
Her younger brother, Rohan Narayana Murty, is a junior fellow at Harvard and the second computer science scientist to receive an honor from the university, after Marvin Minsky, the father of artificial intelligence. Shrinivas Kulkarni, founder and CTO of Soroco, a company specializing in the automation of AI resources and a professor of astrophysics and planetary science at Caltech, is his uncle (mom's older brother).

Younger brother Rohan Narayana Murty is married to Aparna Krishnan, the daughter of a former Indian naval officer commander, who holds a degree in economics from Dartmouth College and worked for McKinsey and Sequoia Capital in India, and her sister is married to Kartik Hosanagar, a technology professor at Wharton.
Sunak's wife, Aksata Murthy, grew up in an ordinary middle-class family in India, with no birthday parties or excessive pocket money, but she grew up in Bangalore, known as India's Silicon Valley, and she attended Baldwin College for Women (BGHS), India's oldest institute for women.

After graduating from high school, Murty studied economics and French at Claremont McKenna College in California, fashion design at the Fashion Design and Marketing Institute (FIDM) in Los Angeles, and then went on to Stanford University for an MBA.
Although Murthy was a "fashion designer" by profession, her fashion company closed soon after its inception and her subsequent work experience was largely related to managing the family fortune, becoming one of the richest women in the UK with 0.93% of Infosys (worth about £700 million) and other business shares.
Speaking of Sunak, the turning point in a wonderful life almost began with a marriage to Murthy.

After earning an MBA from Stanford University, Sunak chose to switch from finance to politics and work specifically for the Conservative Party.
▲ Everyone who understands understands, politics = burning money, doing finance = making money;
Sunak officially entered British politics when he was elected to Conservative Party in Richmond in North Yorkshire in 2014. The following year, he was elected to the lower house of parliament, entered the cabinet as chief secretary to the Ministry of Finance, and then climbed his way to the position of prime minister.
