Well-known columnist Suhel Seth has once again delivered a sharp dose of his signature sarcasm—this time to British lawmakers in London. A clip of his speech, in which he humorously pointed out how deeply
Indian influence runs through several British institutions, has gone viral across social media. As expected, the internet hailed his remarks for their “epic sarcasm.”While addressing UK MPs, Seth said with a playful jab, “But more importantly, it feels so good to be in England and I'm here almost every fortnight. Your museums have everything of our country. Your food—our food—is your national food. Our education is similar. We gave you a great Prime Minister in the form of Rishi Sunak, and we will give you many more.” His comments had the audience erupting in laughter, turning the moment into a light-hearted highlight of the event.
The video of his speech has been widely reshared online, garnering massive attention as netizens continue reacting to the fiery yet humorous clip.He further added, “The purpose of this conclave is for Great Britain to understand that India has come a long way. It is no longer the India of 1947. It isn’t even the India of 1991… and even less the India of 2030. I’m delighted that we have Narendra Modi as our prime minister — who has shown to every Indian, whether he is in India or outside, that India today can stand up and be counted.”
Internet Reaction —One user wrote, “This is the best video I have seen in the past many days. And very well done, Seth sir, for putting Bharat so strongly in front of the whole world. Moment of pride indeed.”Another added, “Very rightly and truly and humorously said… Everything.”A third commented, “It’s time, as he said, that they realised our country has become greater than Great Britain.”One more remarked, “Suhel Seth, the most chosen words you have used make us feel proud. Yes, we’re proud to be Indian — not out of arrogance but out of the achievements of our fellow Indians, and great orators like you and Shashi Tharoor portray it so beautifully.”Another user wrote, “Suhel Seth is no ordinary adman. He’s a genius.”
