REUTERSHalf a world away from the political drama in London, many Indians are closely following the twists and turns of who replaces Boris Johnson as British prime minister, curious to see how two candidates with Indian ancestry fare. If either were to win the race for the premiership, they would be the first prime minister of Indian origin in the United Kingdom. Leading Indian industrialist Anand Mahindra joined a steady stream of social media reaction to the possibility of a British prime minister with Indian heritage. Sunak's colleague Braverman, currently Britain's attorney general and also in the race to succeed Johnson, was born into a Christian family of Indian origin. U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris is another recent example of a politician of Indian origin who made it big abroad.
