Rishi Sunak's become the first person of colour to serve as prime minister of the United Kingdom.
Sunak, born in the UK, is of Indian descent and, at the age of 42, he's the youngest prime minister in over 200 years.
Before entering 10 Downing Street, the official residence of the PM, as the newest incumbent of the role, he addressed the people.
As a practising Hindu, it was significant that Sunak's confirmation as Conservative party leader came during Diwali, the festival of lights.
Something visitors to one of London's temples remarked upon.
When Sunak was born, there were no Black or Asian members of parliament and even as late as 2001, when he graduated from university, there were no MPs of colour in the Conservative party, of which he's now the leader.
Sunak's the third person to hold the post of prime minister in 2022, after Liz Truss left office after just 50 days.
He faces a host of challenges with the most immediate being the cost of living crisis.
For some celebrating Diwali, Sunak's talents at addressing the UK's current crisis outweigh any importance given to his Indian background.
