In a statement issued by the UK Treasury Department, it has been said that Finance Minister Rishi Sunak has asked the Royal Mint Advisory Committee (RMAC) to ensure respect for these communities.
Whenever there was mention of the glorious history of Britain (UK) in the world, at the same time questions were also raised about the British rule regarding colonialism and apartheid. In this series, many British institutions are evaluating their past, so that somehow these stains on the country’s reputation can be washed away. Although this is not so easy, there have always been questions about racism and apartheid, which can be compared to the recent death of black man George Floyd in America.
The UK is now preparing to issue a coin in honor of Mahatma Gandhi, the father of India, to recognize and honor the contributions of blacks, Asians and other non-Christian people. The British rule has always been because of the wealth and colonialism. It has been surrounded by questions, it is believed that by doing this, the British government wants to get out of the bad memories of the past. The issue of racism in the world has intensified in the aftermath of the death of Black Floyd caused by police brutality a few days ago in America. In worldwide demonstrations, Floyd was seen as a symbol of global apartheid, colonialism and police brutality.
During this time, many institutions also raised the voice of help from the people of black, Asian and non-Christian community.
In a statement issued by the UK Treasury Department, it has been said that Finance Minister Rishi Sunak has asked the Royal Mint Advisory Committee (RMAC) to ensure respect for these communities.
RMAC is an independent body of experts who support the UK Finance Minister in every important decision, from the design and design of the coin. Sunak said that people of BAME community have a big contribution in Britain and it was decided to honor these communities.
