British Asians being ‘desi’

Are British Asians expected to know about all things desi?

Are British Asians expected to know about all things desi? Haroon is asking this after a clip from ITV quiz show ‘The Chase’ showing an Asian man getting a question about Indian food wrong went viral. After that we’ll be hearing about the ‘Not Just Bollywood’ festival, which celebrates independent Indian films. Curator of the festival, Omar Ahmed, and the director of ‘Lipstick Under My Burkha’, Alankrita Shrivastava, join Haroon to tell us more about it. Then Lord Dolar Popat, a House of Lords Peer, talks to us about his new book ‘A British Subject’, which he describes as a love letter to the country that gave him everything. Plus, this week’s ‘Big Debate’s Little Debate’ comes from Harry Rai, who wants us to talk about people who pay a lot of money to get their hair and make-up done professionally for family functions.
