With Rishi's elevation as UK PM, look at Indian-origin global leaders in key roles

People are always in search of greener pastures. Especially, earlier, there was a brain drain, and those who migrated to other countries never forget their roots. It seems for being on foreign soil they will miss our culture and traditions. Hence, they will follow more than what we practice in India as they relate to our country by being in a foreign country. Hence, when they become the heads of the countries where they are staying they proudly disclose their roots. It's a proud moment for us as an Indian-origin Rishi Sunak is taking charge as the Prime Minister of Britain. Before that, Kamala Harris whose mother Shyamala Gopalan hails from Tamil Nadu, has been appointed as the Vice-President of America.

Hyderabad: Rishi Sunak created a history of sorts when he was elevated as the Prime Minister of Britain. With this, Britain became the sixth country where people of Indian origin assumed power. Let's take a look at which countries people of Indian origin have held key positions.
