UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Akshata Murthy’s Diwali celebrations at 10 Downing Street”

It’s heartening to see UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murthy embracing and celebrating Diwali with the Hindu community at 10 Downing Street. The festival of lights, Diwali, holds significant cultural and religious significance for Hindus, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness and good over evil.

Sunak’s commitment to his roots and Hindu faith is evidenced by his regular visits to the temple in Southampton, where he was born, as well as praying at the Akshardham temple in New Delhi during the G20 summit in India. It is always refreshing to see leaders embracing and sharing their cultural heritage, promoting a sense of unity and inclusivity. Photographs of Sunak and Murthy lighting traditional lamps or diyas at their official residences add a personal touch to the celebrations.

This is not just a political phenomenon; It is a real celebration that reflects the diversity and richness of the UK. Sunak’s pride in his Hindu identity and recent celebration of Rakshabandhan highlight the personal and familial aspects of his cultural ties. Happy Diwali to everyone in the UK and around the world!
