Rishi Sunak’s appointment as Britain’s third Prime Minister in 2022 is a historic event. The 42-year-old, born to parents having Indian descent, is the first person of colour to have earned this powerful position. His achievement has made India proud. Much like him, there are many other Indians like Parag Agarwal, CEO of Twitter, Satyda Nadela, Microsoft, Executive Chairman and CEO of Microsoft, Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, and others who have been making the country proud worldwide. Celebs share thoughts on Indians reaching global heights and how every such achievement inspires them:

I am happy to know
that someone of Indian origin has become the prime minister of the UK and
it’s very heartening to know that. Patriotically, since the British ruled our country and now there is an Indian who is ruling Great Britain. Although I am
not sure how Indian Rishi Sunak is, or whether he knows much about India since
he was not born here. It’s still good to know that someone from Indian
origin will be heading there

This is a proud
moment not just for me but for every Indian. Unlike many people, I will go to an
entirely different path. It means a lot to India. Not politically but mentally.
Here is my thought 200 years ago some white people came to
India roaring their throats out saying, brown people aren't worthy enough. Even
Indians weren't given many high-ranking posts claiming that they weren't
worthy. Now after so many years a brown person from the same dirty India is their Prime Minister, which is one of the highest positions in their
country. Maybe he isn't an Indian by citizenship, but he is definitely one of
whom the white people called, “brown. From dogs and Indians not allowed to

It is an honour for
every Indian that one more powerful Indian got a strong position. I am
extremely excited that Rishi Sunak became the United Kingdom's prime minister
and it's a proud moment for every Indian. There are lots of Indians who have
strong positions Internationally. I must say this inspired me a lot and I love
to congratulate Rishi Sunak for becoming the UK prime minister.

Life is not easy
for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and, above all,
confidence in ourselves. We must believe we are gifted for something and that
this thing must be attained.” We are super proud of Rishi Sunak who became PM
of that country, which ruled over us for centuries. Earlier in foreign
countries, people used to say that Indians aren’t so progressive but not now.
Now we are setting examples. It’s not only in wellBollywood or TV industry but across
the world if a person of Indian origin does well then your status and
value increase. I really look up to all of them who are doing so good across
the globe. No work is big or small, just keep doing your work with all your
dedication. The sky is just the limit. ever leave your dream. Parag Aggarwal and Rishi Sunak are great examples and it is a proud moment for all of us

People like Rishi
Sunak and so many powerful Indians holding powerful positions in the world send
out a message to all Indians that we have the potential to achieve all our
dreams. The best part is that it is a truly a hopeful story where they have shown
you with an example that it all can be done. I also strive to do all those
things and be in a position where the world sees me in a similar light.

Indians and
Indian-origin people have always been some of the smartest beings in the world.
Not just today but since earlier times— be it Aryabhatta, who discovered zero,
Chanakya who created the first written document of politics, which was later on
relied upon by Aristotle, etc. there are many examples historically. More so,
in today’s context where we find some of the best Indian brains and the Indian
origin people doing their best in the international arena. Rishi Sunak, despite
not having lived in India, continues to hold a great reference to Sanatana
Dharma, our culture and traditions. The way he celebrates Diwali and after
becoming the prime minister he went to the Iskcon temple, shows that he still
follows all the customs and traditions no matter a what heights he reaches.

The way India and
Indians are taking leaps and bounds is a real matter of pleasure and pride
whether it's in the corporate world in administration or in politics, Indians
are marking and setting up the benchmark. Desh padh raha hai, badh raha hai.
People feel immediately connected when someone holds good position
internationally

It is a very proud
moment for all Indians that Rishi Sunak has become the PM of the UK. There was a
time when Britishers ruled us for years and now an Indian is chosen as the
prime minister of the United Kingdom. In a short time span, Indians are ruling
globally at top positions and our Indian culture is being taken forward. It is
so delightful to see Diwali getting celebrated in different countries and how
they are not forgetting the culture and taking it further with them. It's one
of the wins for all the Indians and I have a strong feeling that there is a lot
more to come. More power to them!
