“The United Kingdom has been my home for many years. It is a country I have come to admire and appreciate deeply — its people, institutions, traditions and values,” he said.
Modi went on to describe his British citizenship as a “privilege and a responsibility that I embrace with pride, gratitude and a genuine sense of belonging”.
He said: “My life’s journey has been shaped by different cultures and experiences, and I look forward to continuing to contribute positively to the country I proudly call home.
“Thank you to my family, friends and everyone who has been part of this journey, and to the Oxford Union for providing such a memorable occasion to share this news. A new chapter, with much to look forward to,” he added.
His post concluded with a reference to his announcement coinciding with Britain’s King Charles III’s 78th birthday, which falls on November 14. “And on His Majesty King Charles III’s birthday, a particularly special day to share this moment. God Save the King!”
