The Rise of the South Asians : Pak-Origin Humza Yousaf to Lead Scotland

Scotland has picked Pak-origin Humza Yousaf as the country’s new First Minister. The 37-year-old became the youngest person and the first Muslim to lead Scotland. Why is this moment historic?

Who would have thought the 'divide-and-rule’ policy will bite Britishers like this? If Scotland and England were to be divided in a similar manner as the British divided India into two, I would consider it karma, given that the First minister of Scotland is of Pakistan origin and Prime minister of the UK is of Indian origin. When Churchill called Indians " rogues and rascals" he had before him Nehru and Gandhi. Churchill 's generalization of a whole nation based on his impression of just two people was grossly erroneous.

So you're telling me It's happening all over again...? A Pakistani asking for partition of a country and again an Indian trying to keep it intact.....
