Kanishka Narayan, 33, an Indian-origin candidate from Muzaffarpur, Bihar, won the UK general elections from Vale of Glamorgan, Wales as a Labour candidate against Conservative party member Alun Cairns.
Jayant Kumar, Kanishka's uncle, director of SKJ Law College, said, his nephew has made not just Muzzafarpur, but the entire country proud.
"Kanishka is my younger brother's son. He left his job to attend the elections. He has always been into politics," Jayant Kumar, said.
Kanishka was born in Muzaffarpur and studied there till the third standard.
Earlier he was in civil services. He resigned from his job and entered politics after the announcement of elections.
Two months later, Kanishka came to India with his family to attend a religious function.
In the meantime, upon Kanishka's election as MP, festivities are underway at his Muzaffarpur home in Sandho Apartment in Damuchak.
Originally hailing from Saundho in Vaishali District, Krishna Kumar and Veena Devi, grandparents of Kanishka Kumar, settled in Muzzafarpur many years ago.
Krishna Kumar was the founder of SKJ Law College and served as the chairman of the Muzaffarpur District Board.
After graduating from SKJ Law College, Kanishka's mother Chetna Sinha and father Santosh Kumar moved to Delhi.
Kanishka attended the APJ School in Saket, Delhi, for a short while. Kanishka and his parents relocated to Britain when he was twelve years old. He completed his postgraduate studies at the prestigious Eton Oxford, the same university from which Jawaharlal Nehru, the country's first prime minister, graduated.
