Absolutely independent of any politics, it's a large historical moment - and a complex moment tied up with Britain's own ambiguous history - that the UK how has a Prime Minister of Hindu Punjabi descent, and whose parents were born in what are now Kenya and Tanzania. And remarkably on Diwali itself. If nothing else, it's a reflection of the huge importance of the South Asian community in the UK. The wheels of history are turning.
