India has been celebrating Diwali in the midst of Rishi Sunak's election as the first prime minister of the UK of Indian descent. The conservative politician holds the distinction of becoming the first person of colour to hold the high post. After former Prime Minister Liz Truss was forced to resign after only 45 days in office, he was elected.
Given that India was formerly a colony of the once-powerful British Empire, Sunak's appointment as prime minister of the UK is a significant development.
The dairy cooperative has unveiled a creative in the distinctive Amul manner, featuring a chubby Rishi Sunak and the adored poppet.
The topical shows both Sunak and the Amul girl with the Tower Bridge of London looming behind them. The topical is captioned 'RISHI SUNUK' 'AMUL PRIME MAKHAN.' The highlighted words read "UK PM."
Netizens swamped the comment section with positive feedback, as they do with whatever relevant Amul shares. Others remarked on how ironic it was that Sunak, a person of colour, has been appointed to lead the UK's largest office.
Sunak, who was born in Hampshire, was elected as Britain's third prime minister in seven weeks. He has been given the great challenge of restoring stability to the UK following a time of political and economic unrest.
