THE NEW chancellor of the exchequer, who will present the budget on March nth, is arguably the most globalised member of the House of Commons. His grandparents arrived in Britain from Punjab by way of East Africa. He met his Indian-born wife at Stanford Business School in California. His father-in-law is a co-founder of Infosys, a giant Indian outsourcing firm. He swore his oath as an mp on a copy of the Bhagavad Gita, a Hindu sacred text.
