Sunanda K. Datta-Ray | Will Rishi make history as Britain looks for new PM?

Deccan Chronicle  

Prescient British opinion-makers stopped speaking of a Diwali deadline for the proposed free trade agreement with India long before Prime Minister Liz Truss dropped her bombshell. To put it more bluntly, Ms Truss’ choice as Prime Minister may have been a manifestation of the once popular, now deemed politically incorrect, slogan “Keep Britain White”. Tory party members didn’t want a brown man!” Asked if he was accusing Britain’s ruling party of being racist, the caller replied: “I’m sorry to say yes!” Multi-racial Britain whose capital was dubbed “Londonistan has plenty of Asian and African MPs to prove it has left behind the bigotry that prompted Lord Salisbury to wonder when Dadabhoy Naoroji sought a parliamentary seat whether British voters “would elect a black man”. After all, Mr Johnson’s floppy straw blond hair is ostentatiously Caucasian despite the Turkish roots that prompted Ankara newspapers to dub him the “Ottoman grandson”. This time round Mr Sunak might fulfil David Cameron’s 2015 promise to Narendra Modi in London’s packed Wembley Stadium: “It won’t be long before there is a British-Indian Prime Minister in 10 Downing Street”.
