South Asians Living In The UK

As a British South Asian herself, Kaiynath can relate very well to the troubles and hostility faced by the rest living in the UK. Kaiynath talks about the recent documentary she watched - 'Here Today, Here Tomorrow' and how it reflects the views of the South Asians living in Britain in the 1980s but also, the differences in views and opinions of the younger and elder generation, and how there are parallels between the era of the past and today. With personal stories of facing hostility and the stories collected by Kavita Puri for her series on BBC Radio 4 - '3 Pounds In My Pocket,' Kaiynath talks about the racism, hostility and dynamics faced by people of colour in the past years and recent events.  'Here Today, Here Tomorrow,' Zia Mohyeddin - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPvpVHO_Jf0 'They came from south Asia to help rebuild Britain.
