People of Indian origin are active in the politics of many countries of the world and are also leaving their mark. In some countries, people of Indian origin even hold the post of Prime Minister/President. But apart from these posts, people of Indian origin are also making their place in the parliament of other countries. Something similar happened in Australia also.

Varun Ghosh of Indian origin has succeeded in becoming a senator in Australia. Varun, a barrister by profession, first moved to Washington D.C. in the United States of America. He has also worked as a consultant for the World Bank based in Washington D.C. and now becoming a senator of Australia is a big milestone for Varun.
