and the strength and courage it has taken to speak out. His testimony is triggering for many of us. PoC have had to deal with racism and then we are the ones with the problem if we mention it. No more! We are with you Azeem
We’ve spent a year looking into the problem of single use plastic. Hugh’s been investigating the big picture and I’ve worked with a street in Bristol to see what power us mortals have. It’s shocking and eye opening.

My mum and mother in law are off backpacking (kinda) to south east Asia. Indian women reliving the youth the they never really had. Go girls! Life begins after 60. Watch out Vietnam!!

Some of the papers reaction to Meghan and Harry is like a terrible Indian melodrama. Gossipy aunties who can’t tolerate anyone living their own lives. Breaking away from the family?! ‘Hai hai’ I mean, seriously. They are free to do what they want.

Once as a kid, we’d just got back from the Gurdwara on a Sunday, so I was wearing a little shalwar kameez. I went to get an ice cream from the ice cream van and a neighbours kid said ‘Anita, we didn’t know you were…

Racism is a rot, destructive, divisive, dangerous and thick. There is no place for it in society. Everyone needs to check themselves and decide which side they’re on.
The train conductor just thanked me for my
#Partition
programme. For telling my story. This is My history, world history AND British history. Colonial history connects so many of us. It’s time we understood the darkness as well as the good stuff.
