I have a real story of Super Rich Indian,?Jamsetji Tata. In 1902, he wanted to attend a Film exhibition held in one hotel in Mumbai. When he reached there. There was a board written outside “Indians?and?Dogs?aren't allowed”.
With this movie scene, you might understand the humiliation had to suffer by many?Indians?during that time. That day he had decided, he will make something substantial?and?prove the worth of his country. On the first day of this hotel, 17 guests stayed there. At that time, they used to charge ?10 per day.
For one year, outside of the hotel. They have written on the board “Dogs?and?Britishers aren't allowed”. Source: https://qr.ae/pvEHyo
This landmark hotel was the first one in India, had electricity, and having fans,?and?lights.In 1903, Taj Hotel (this is still a landmark hotel) has been ready. It has established earlier than ‘Gateway of India'.
Rishi Sunak’s Indian roots
The 42-year-old has his origin in India, which was colonised by the Britishers for nearly 200 years. Though Sunak was not born and raised in India, his roots are Indian. The Indian-origin politician has often embraced his Hindu roots. Once he stated that Bhagavad Gita reminds him to be conscious. When he was made the finance minister of Britain, Rishi Sunak took an oath by placing his hands on Bhagavad Gita.Sunak had earlier appealed to give up eating beef and said he never consumed it. Media reports say Sunak always keeps an Idol of Shri Ganesh on his table.
In August 2022 during the Conservative Party leadership race, Sunak was seen performing ‘gau puja’. On the occasion of Janmashtami this year, Sunak visited the Bhaktivedanta Manor temple with his wife Akshata.
