Reverse Colonization ”Rishi and Humza Yousaf” The story starts from 2016 when UK Prime Minister, David Cameron called a referendum on leaving the European Union

Reverse Colonization

Cameron thought this would help bring political in the country and help end the debate and chaos of Brexit once and for all, but to everyone’s surprise things have been going downhill, and COVID-19 outbreak and its financial impact acted as catalyst in the political turmoil in the power corridors of UK and in past 7 years 10 downing street has seen 5 Prime Ministers.

Citizens of the countries, which once Great Britain colonized were enjoying this political fiasco and were trying to show their “concerns” and “worry” on the political chaos going on the UK.

Although this situation was famous on social medias of  African and South Asian countries but it more interesting and relevant when Rishi Sunak, a British Politician, born in a family with immigrant roots became Prime Minister of UK. Rishi’s grand parents emigrated from India to Kenya and his parents migrated from Kenya to UK. So people on desi twitter started to taking a dig on the fact that colonizers are now being ruled by the colonizers. Many people referred to it as complete circle of ‘Karma’.

Recently, things become even more interesting when Pakistani-Origin, Scottish politician made history by becoming Scotland’s youngest and first Muslim has been confirm as new First Minister of Scotland by becoming leader of Scottish National party.This development has made the situation even more interesting keeping in view that matter of  referendum on Scottish independence is being discuss to happen again.

The situation is talk of the town for people of Subcontinent because the matter will be argue between UK’s prime minister (a politician with Indian roots) and Humza Yousaf (a politician with Pakistani origin).
