Indian-Origin Socialist Teen Defends Scholarship To Private UK College
Hasan Patel was attacked on social media as a "champagne socialist" for accepting the privilege but he fought back.

Hasan Patel, a staunch supporter of Britain’s Opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn who became the youngest person to address the party’s annual conference last year at the age of 15, bagged a GBP 76,000 scholarship to the prestigious Eton College in London after a series of rigorous entrance requirements.
