Rishi Sunak

 There is tremendous hype about Rishi Sunak being

selected as PM of Britian; which makes many Indians proud and happy.

However , how many of us know that Leo Varadkar, the current Prime Minister of Ireland is of Indian descent? His parents are from Vasai, near Bombay.

As late as 2003, Leo completed his internship at KEM Hospital, Bombay.  

His mother is an Irish lady and his father an Indian  from Vasai, a suburb of Bombay, in Thane District of Maharashtra.

Leo has won a second term as PM. He is also gay in a country which is more than 90% Catholic.

Antonio Costa the current Prime Minister of Portugal is also of Indian descent, born to parents from Goa.  Unfortunately, many of us in India do not know of Antonio at all.

Both these Prime Ministers are into their respective second terms but unfortunately the Indian Press and Public are ignorant of and do not celebrate the achievements of these sons of Mother India. 

What is it that makes Rishi Sunak different from these other two Prime Ministers of Indian origin whose connection with India is much closer than Rishi Sunak's ?

Significantly, Antonio Costa still holds  Overseas Citizenship of India.

Leo Varadkar frequently visits Bombay and Vasai where his close relatives live. 

Hope the Indian Press and Public take cognizance of and pride in these two Prime Ministers of Indian origin as well.
