A while back there were some tumblr discussions on the nuances/differences of discrimination between us vs the uk (and really everywhere else) and I really appreciated your takes/insights on it. As an American born-raised desi, would it be alright to ask what the experience is like in Britain? Also, is there a lot of difference being Afghani vs Indian vs Pakistani vs Nepali etc in how women are perceived in social or work spaces? I was considering studying/working abroad and wondered where my blind spots were, to make balanced and thoughtful choices. If you'd prefer a dm convo or this isn't an ask you're feeling then no worries. Much respect on individual space and privacy. Thanks for reading 💕 💕 (ps. how is LOLITA?!?!? anybody's favorite novel?!?! not acceptable/deeply troubling)

Hi hi

Obvi I haven't lived in America so I can't do a thorough unbiased report back but I can say that I have been exposed to enough variety of American media to get a grasp of what it is like there. So with that disclaimer in mind, let's rock and roll.

The Asian British Experience is something different to the American experience. Straight off the bat, the main difference in America the term Desi only includes Pakistani Indian and Bengali dispora whereas in the UK, Desi includes Nepal and Sri Lanka. There is a big more of the good old subcontinent togetherness here vs in America. If you are South Asian you are South Asian, there isn't any nitpicking.

The UK is tiny compared and when you look at just many South Asian we have compared to the general population, it is a lot a lot. Our culture is very integrated here in the UK. You average Brit knows a decent bit about South Asia and South Asian culture/history. South Asians are regarded the model minority. We aren't going to go into the whole model minority minority myth thing here but I am not going to lie, it does work in our favour. For example, schools here work on catchment or exam sitting. And back when I lived in England there was a huge problem of South Asian students being picked over Black students to be in certain better schools. As a south asian, along with other Asians we were definitely treated different to other poc in terms of the ease of which subjects we were allowed to pick, who got sent to competitions simply because we are Asians.

Do we have colourism and racism within the South Asian society?

Ye lol. But like I always say the UK, unlike America has the problem of classim. So rich south asian treat poorer south asian far worse than I have seen white people treat south asians.

North Indians, here, have a bad rep for being rude to other south asians which is something every Desi will agree on lol

Colourism is slightly tricky. That will take more explanation.

Working as a Desi in the UK?

All south asians get lumped as one. This isn't necessarily because people just see us as one ( which people do but we are all neighbours and it isnt wrong to say our cultures are similar). Again the model minority thing comes to play and we have those advantages over other poc.

I cant speak too much on work life because I havent had a office job yet but I did have ask my sisters And this is what she said.

'When people find out you are South Asian, there is an automatic pressure of being perceived as highly skilled. You are expected to the best at your job and mistakes are frowned upon because you are south asian, you are smart'

I am still waiting for a response from my other sister who arguably has a better insight because she has worked at a top job in one of the biggest companies.

Off topic but my other sister from another mister pointed out that as a highly educated South Asian women, dating becomes incredibly harder. Your dating pool gets smaller and people become more intimated by you.

I could go on and on about being South Asian in the UK. Being British South Asian vs being a FOB South Asian. The expectations. Our impact on culture here.

But the UK is a brilliant place for South Asians. We have enough of our own people for you here lol. No but genuinely, all it will take for you to settle well here is to make friends with one South Asian and the rest will come easy. There is mutual rule of 'support other south asians' that Desis follow here so you will be fine here. We have people in high places everywhere here so networking is easy peasy.

Feel free to dm me if you want i dont mind,

Much Love

Daphne

Edit : READ the comments.

My mutual @sweetsop has raised very good point there. I realised I didnt include the Hindu vs Muslim thing. Racism between Hindus and Muslims is most definitely a thing but in this day and age it is mostly just the older generation and FOB ( fresh of the boat aka immigrants ). My generation is quite good with the religious differences, like ten years ago Hindus and Muslims would not have been friends and there was so much shit between the two groups.

I should also add, it isn't sushine and rainbows here. You will experience racism here but that comes with being a minority anywhere. POC against POC racism is quite prominent. White people are racist here too but depending on where you live, its whatever. I have heard far worse from POC than from white people.

( I am also slightly tipsy rn so please pardon whatever this sporadic mess is )

Cultural Diversity in Pakistan: A Sociological Perspective

The world is made up of over seven billion people who belong to different kinds of cultures. From the Native Americans in the US to the Mongols in Mongolia, every ethnic group has its own culture. And the coexistence of these cultures within a society without homogenization or cultural hegemony is cultural diversity.

What is culture?

Culture is the lifestyle - a way of being – for ethnic groups. For every ethnic group in a race, there are certain aspects of their culture that define their identity. For example, Muslims in the sub-continent make halwa on Shab-e-Baraat and dress in shalwar kameez on Fridays; Mursi women from southwestern Ethiopia have lip plates; the Chinese deep-clean their homes on New Year’s eve; members of the Māori culture in New Zealand greet each other by pressing their noses and foreheads together.

Culture is a set of unwritten but lasting rules passed down through language from generation to generation. Sometimes there are certain reasons that support a ritual, but there are also times when people cannot explain why members of their ethnicity perform that action. This is because people are inclined to accept their culture as simply the way to exist. Anything else to them is strange and jarring, as evident in the concept of ‘culture shock’.

Where do cultural practices come from?

A society’s religion and geographical territory (including climate and environment) are what make its cultures. For example, the culture in Middle-eastern regions involves both men and women dressing in long, loose garments made with light fabric (tawb for men; abaya for women) because of the desert climate. They have also been covering their heads even before Islam spread its influence due to the harsh daylight and cold nights (climate).

Using the example of the Arabs again, their culture includes cooking that uses dates, olives, and lamb a lot. This is because the most common livestock in that region were sheep and camels and date and olive trees grew in abundance (environment).

Vegetarian cuisine is extremely popular in India, being an essential part of its culture. This comes from the Hindu religion, in which meat and some other ingredients are forbidden. And, it is the norm to greet each other with Salam in Pakistan because it’s a part of Islam. These parts of the culture come from religion rather than the climate or environment.

Cultural Diversity

The heterogeneity and independence of cultures existing within a single society and/or social group is cultural diversity. For instance, if a society’s members include African Americans, Indians, Mexicans, Europeans, Arabs, and East-Asians, as they practice their respective cultures, it will be considered a culturally diverse society.

The inclusion of members of different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds without social prejudice and racism is cultural diversity. If a society has members from different ethnic and cultural groups but they do not/are not allowed to practice their culture, it is not culturally diverse. Instead, such societies are monocultural due to ethnocentrism. Examples of such societies may include certain communities in the USA – especially historically – and even the Pakistani society, to an extent.

Cultural Diversity in Pakistan

Pakistan is a heterogeneous country, comprising of many cultures and religions. The ethnic groups in Pakistan include Baloch, Hazaras, Pashtuns, Punjabis, Pothwaris, Sindhis, Saraikis, Kashmiris, Makranis, Baltis, Burusho, and Muhajirs, out of many others.

Pakistan’s dominant religion is Islam, however, and that influences the cultures in the country in an essential manner. From greeting styles to food, weddings, funerals, and naming, the Pakistani society follows Islam – the Sharia laws and Sunnah – very closely.

And, by association, a considerable part of the Middle-eastern culture (especially Saudi-Arabian), has been integrated into Pakistan’s culture. The concept of wearing an abaya and naming children with ‘Ibne’ and ‘Binte’ suffixes are examples of Arabic culture being infused in Pakistani society.

There is also significant Western influence integrated into the lifestyles of the pre-Independence urban societies, such as the ones in Karachi and Lahore, from the era of the British rule in the sub-continent. Now, due to globalization, there’s also an American influence on Pakistan’s urban societies.

Aside from external influences, there is a significant amount of xenocentrism amongst several cultural groups in Pakistan. There is also a deep sense of religious exclusivism in the Muslim majority that – either directly or indirectly – suppresses other religious groups, such as the Hindus and Christians.

Although Pakistan appears to be a culturally diverse state, it’s actually an amalgamation of different cultural and religious groups suppressing others. Urdu is the national language of Pakistan, but many urban Punjabi, Sindhi, Pashtun, etc. groups fall into two extremes with the language: they either hate it and refuse to speak it unless necessary, or they abandon their native languages in favor of blending in with the historically-urbanized groups in major cities. The same applies to their culture, which results in cultural attrition (or acculturation).

Now, the majority of the bourgeoisie classes are more attuned to Western cultures instead of their native identities. The adoption of the American lifestyle - in regards to social relationships, religion, and values - is evident in nearly all urban groups.

Thus, it can be said that Pakistani society is actually consisting of various pseudo-cultures, set apart only in physical attire and the ‘secular vs. religious’ differences. There is almost no ethnic group in Pakistan that is entirely subscribing to its original culture; instead, these groups have been reshaped by Middle-eastern influences and then Western ideologies.

The cultural diversity that is celebrated in Pakistan is not an acceptance of cultural differences; instead, it’s surface-level momentary cooperation that’s represented through a superflux of Pashtun pakuls, Punjabi bhangras, Sindhi ajraks, and Urdu poetry. There is still ethnocentrism that flips into xenocentrism upon exposure to different cultures prevalent in Pakistan.

Introducing Cultural Diversity in Pakistan

Ethnic groups in Pakistan can celebrate their cultures by accepting them in a way that does not imply they’re superior over others.

1.      Acceptance of one’s own culture: The first step that should be taken in order to make the Pakistani society culturally diverse would be to accept one’s own culture and values. There is no shame in being belonging to a culture that’s vastly different from the ones shown in popular (mostly American) TV shows, or having a mother who’s unable to communicate in English or Urdu.

2.      Respect for differences: Ethnic accents or dressing styles should not be subjected to ridicule, a pakul is not merely a hat to be worn in cultural festivals, and a saree is not a symbol of Bollywood influence or Hinduism, it’s a traditional garment worn by the women of many cultures. The association of cultural pride with daily attires and preferences should be put an end to. If a person prefers to wear jeans over shalwars on regular days, it does not mean they are ashamed of their culture. And, similarly, if a person feels comfortable listening to music in their native language, it does not mean they harbor animosity towards those who prefer Western music.

3.      Recognition of other cultures: An Urdu-speaking family in Karachi is not Hindustani or Sindhi – they’re Muhajirs, and they are allowed to take pride in the customs of their ancestors that were practiced in the region that is now India instead of Pakistan. Gilgitis are not the same as Kashmiris or Baltis or Pashtuns – they have their own identity and culture. Pashtuns are not a carbon-copy of Afghans, Saraikis are not “hybrid Sindhi and Punjabi”, and not all Muhajirs are from Dehli or Lucknow.

4.      Empowering all cultures: The Pakistani entertainment industry and media should be used to spread acceptance, through movies, dramas, and children’s programs. A new wave in Urdu, Pashto, Punjabi, Sindhi, Balochi, etc. literature and art should be encouraged, creating stories and poetry that would attract the modern generation and keep the languages alive.

5.      Acceptance through languages: A multilingual society should be promoted instead of suppressed through Westernized-conditioning. Language clubs and competitions should be inclusive of all the native languages of Pakistan and not just English and Urdu.

6.      Acceptance and diversity from family institutions: Couples that belong to different ethnic groups should cultivate a culturally diverse environment for their children to grow in. Marriages between members of different cultures should not be shameful; instead, they should be encouraged.

7.      Valuing cultural heterogeneity: most importantly, it should be established that no culture is flawless. And that is because culture is not an innately flawless institution. Certain aspects of it may become redundant, but that does not mean the entire culture should be abandoned. Modifying a culture is not mutilating it; it’s a progression that should not be fueled by globalization.

No change can be brought without the active participation and consent of all ethnic, gender, religious, and age groups. Comfort with one’s own identity will allow the acceptance of other cultures, so it’s important to be aware of one’s ethnic and religious values along with a deep respect for those who are different.

Thess vs Race Representation

So I watched The Haunting of Bly Manor, just like half of Tumblr from the looks of things, and I know the focus is on the central couple and everything, and that’s great. Just ... there’s something else I liked about it - something that added to the veracity of the piece, for me personally.

People of colour in near-on central roles.

Look, I’ve lived in Canada, and I’ve lived in the States, and now I live in England. I don’t know how it is for people in the US anymore, and it’s been a very long time since I’ve been back to my home and native land, but I can say a lot about England and its racial makeup. And honestly? No matter how good the accents were (and they were good, especially since most of them were real), I would not have believed that they were really in England without Rebecca, Owen and Hannah. It’s like, how can you live in this country and not have regular contact with people of colour? It’s not possible, at least not beyond very tiny communities, and even then it’s rare. And I don’t just mean the all-too-true stereotype of almost every corner shop being run by Indian or Pakistani families, either. Though honestly, it is true; chain newsagents never quite caught on and most of the independent corner shops (which are kind of like a cross between a very small grocery store and a liquor store) are run by Indian or Pakistani families, more or less across the board.

The NHS, for example. Half the doctors and admin staff. Maybe three-fifths of the nursing staff. Hell, even government. Sadiq Khan, mayor of London. Rishi Sunak, Chancellor of the Exchequer. Priti Patel, Home Secretary (may she fucking rot, though, because she’s happy to deport anyone so long as she can stay in her cushy-ass position). Alok Sharma, Secretary for Business, Energy, and Industrial Strategy. Suella Braverman, Attorney General. Are they good at their jobs? No. Are they venial jackasses lining their pockets and securing their positions while those beneath them suffer? Probably, most of them. Are they the majority? Nope. But given how keen the Conservatives are on their Old Rich White Men, the fact that you can count the major officials in the Conservative government and find a quarter of them are people of colour? That says something about this country’s makeup, and how unlikely it is that you’re going to find all that many places where everybody’s white.

And it makes sense. With so many Jamaican people having come here during the Windrush years, so many Indian and Pakistani people having moved here when those countries were part of the Empire and stayed for generations, how could you possibly go a day without seeing a person of colour here? I live in one of those green leafy suburban areas that’s not overly different to where I lived in the US. There are blocks of flats instead of houses in parts and what houses there are tend to be smaller, but that’s England for you. Point is that while my little town in New Jersey had, like, one Chinese family and maybe one or two Black families to judge by the people who went to my school, here in the UK, my building alone has a pretty good mix (I can’t say percentages because I haven’t seen many of my neighbours).

There’s a lot I could say right now, about how white supremacy seems to be taking hold in the UK under the banner of ‘sovereignty’ and ... frankly a return to imperialism. But that’s not what I’m here to say. I’m here to talk about a fun little Netflix series, which felt real to me solely because three of the main cast were a man of Indian descent born in London, a woman of African descent (Wikipedia didn’t specify country and in the quote they put there, neither did she) born in Guilford, and another Londoner of mixed Pakistani / Jamaican descent. Because that’s how it is here. It’s not perfect - there’s a lot of racism, and I won’t say different - but people of colour are here, and they’re seen in our media a lot because they’re here and to do otherwise would be disingenuous, and now I can’t watch media that’s supposed to be set in England but has no people of colour because it’s wrong and obviously fake because “if it’s England, why is it only white people?”

I just pray it stays that way.

Ten cricket documentaries on YouTube, Netflix and Amazon Prime to keep you hooked during the lockdown

New Post has been published on https://apzweb.com/ten-cricket-documentaries-on-youtube-netflix-and-amazon-prime-to-keep-you-hooked-during-the-lockdown/

Ten cricket documentaries on YouTube, Netflix and Amazon Prime to keep you hooked during the lockdown

Missing live cricket? There’s a plethora of cricket documentaries on various streaming platforms to help kill the boredom at home. In our list — drawn out in no particular order — there’s plenty of Caribbean flair, IPL action and rare behind-the-scenes footage of various dressing rooms.

Cricket Fever: Mumbai Indians

Cricket Fever: Mumbai Indians  

Streaming on: Netflix

Starved of IPL action? This eight-part Netflix series, released last year, follows the fortunes of the IPL’s most successful and wealthiest franchise, Mumbai Indians, during their 2018 season. Starting from the auction that preceded it, a television crew is given a rare pass to the dressing room of the then defending champions. As you relive the tournament, you get to ride the emotions of the players and fans during an unusually difficult season. Watch the players grapple with issues of form, expectations from fans, media commitments and more. What stands out is the snippets of players re-visiting their homes and grounds where they fell in love with the game.

Branded a Rebel

Streaming on: YouTube

The most political documentary in this list. In the midst of their two-decade long sporting isolation due to apartheid, South Africa secretly held talks in the early 1980s with the world’s top cricketers to play a series of unofficial games in the country, known as “Rebel Tours”. With the world vehemently opposed to the brutal apartheid regime, it was always a tough call for cricketers to tour there. “Branded a Rebel” focuses on the most controversial of those tours, by the West Indies players in 1983.

The money was tempting, but while many of their top stars declined, those who took the bait were made to regret their decision till this day. “Mercenaries” at home, “honorary whites” in another country, the West Indies players who made the trip, including Colin Croft, Lawrence Rowe and Alvin Kallicharran, returned home to lifetime bans by the West Indies cricket board. Many of the players, like David Murray, succumbed to a life of drugs and isolation.

The Test: A new era for Australia’s Team

Still from ‘The Test’  

Streaming on: Amazon Prime Video

This newly released eight-part documentary follows the Australian men’s team over 18 months following the Sandapapergate controversy in 2018 that led to bans for two of their best batsmen Steve Smith and David Warner, and the team’s reputation in tatters. A film crew gets unprecedented access to an Australian dressing room that reveals vulnerabilities and extreme moods of the players and coaches as they pull on through a difficult period. Head coach Justin Langer gets generous airtime as he talks us through the team’s image rebuilding exercise. The producers got the script they wanted, with Australia retaining The 2019 Ashes and winning (back) some admirers along the way.

  Crossing the Line

Streaming on: YouTube

Now let’s rewind to what really happened during Sandpapergate. “Crossing the Line” is a one episode documentary on Australia’s Test tour of South Africa in 2017-18, arguably one of the ugliest series in recent memory for its controversies. Before even getting to the ball-tampering scandal, we had the staircase altercation between David Warner and Quinton de Kock, Kagiso Rabada shoulder barging Steve Smith, Warner’s mouthy send off to AB de Villiers, and more. When the host broadcasters caught the Australians using sandpaper to alter the condition of the ball, the muck had hit the fan. The documentary, though interviews with leading commentators, focuses on the Australian team’s toxic culture, and their win-at-all-costs approach that cost them dear.

Lara

16-21 Apr 1994: Sir Gary Sobers of the West Indies congratulates Brian Lara also of the West Indies for his record 375 runs during the Fifth Test match against England at the Recreation Ground in St John’s, Antigua   | Photo Credit: Ben Radford

Streaming on: YouTube

Brian Lara’s 1994 began with his car being stolen in his native Trinidad, and ended with him breaking the world records for the highest Test score (375), highest first-class score (501) and with the world wanting a piece of him (small mercy that selfies didn’t exist then). This one-part British production follows Lara’s movements from the home series against England in 1994 where he broke the Test record, his prolific county season with Warwickshire where he scored centuries for fun, and also when the going wasn’t as much fun with whirlwind media commitments, endorsements, other commercial obligations and the hectic traveling. The crew also visits his village near Santa Cruz and a coaching stint with underprivileged black kids in Soweto shortly after apartheid was lifted in South Africa.

India vs Pakistan: A Bat and Ball War

The Chennai crowd giving a standing ovation to Pakistani players as they go on a victory lap after beating India in the first test match at Chepauk Stadium on January 31, 1999   | Photo Credit: N_BALAJI

Streaming on: YouTube

From pitch vandalism to snakes, the Pakistan team had all sorts of security threats thrown at them when they arrived in India in 1999, for their first Test tour of the country since 1987.This one-part documentary goes behind the scenes of the thrilling two-Test series, starting with the cliffhanger in Chennai, remembered for Pakistan’s jailbreak, followed by a standing ovation. Only a foreign film crew could have waded through the hair-splitting bureaucracy to get access to the visitors’ dressing room and private parties. This series, unlike previous tours, was anything but dull and nor is this documentary.

Fire in Babylon

Streaming on: YouTube

Here we go again. Another one on West Indies? It’s because they were just so bloody good at one time. If you are the type always looking back wistfully at the time they were world beaters, this feel-good documentary is for you. Fire in Babylon begins as a socio-political history of West Indies cricket, set against the backdrop of black oppression in the 1970s. After a horrific tour of Australia in 1975-76 – the racial abuse from the crowds adding insults to several injuries – Clive Lloyd scouts the islands for the most terrifying fast bowlers and for 15 years, West Indies never lose a Test series. Several West Indian legends talk us through what made them near invincible for close to 20 years, and answer the uncomfortable question whether their intimidatory tactics fell within the spirit of the game.

Botham: The Legend of ‘81

20 Jul 1981: Ian Botham of England hooks Geoff Lawson of Australia for four on his way to 149 not out during the third Test match at Headingley in Leeds, England   | Photo Credit: Adrian Murrell

Streaming on: YouTube

This BBC one-part show goes behind the cult of Ian Botham, with the focus on his single-handed control over the 1981 Ashes series at home. In less than five years since his debut for England, Botham’s career had come a full circle. Captaincy was a nightmare for him and when his form slumped, he was relieved of the leadership midway through the 1981 series. That launched the beginning of “Botham’s Ashes” with his Headingley miracle, he was the toast of England all over again. Celebrities and politicians feature here, including John Major, Elton John, Mick Jagger, Stephen Fry. The programme also goes behind the scenes on how his stardom got to him, put a strain on his family and how he gave back to society with his fund-raising walks towards leukaemia research.

Viv Richards: King of Cricket

Viv Richards  

Streaming on: YouTube

You can never get too tired of watching the swagger of Viv Richards, with or without the bat. This Channel 4 1985 documentary was released when King Viv was at his peak, having recently taken over the West Indies captaincy from Clive Lloyd. Alongwith rare footage of international cricket in the Caribbean in the 1980s, you also get to see Richards going back to his beach cricket roots in Antigua, driving down the highways in England when playing for Somerset, bonding with one of his best mates Ian Botham at social gatherings.

Cricket in the 80s: Rookies, Rebels, Renaissance

Streaming on: YouTube

The Australians set the gold standard of cricket coverage in the 1970s thanks to Kerry Packer’s World Series Cricket. Some of the best archival footage of cricket comes from that country so you can expect high standards from their documentaries too. Rookies, Rebels… follows Australian cricket’s most tumultuous decade, where they suffered their most prolonged form slump in history, due to the sudden exodus of greats like Greg Chappell and Dennis Lillee to retirement and a host of fringe players to a Rebel Tour of South Africa, captained by Kim Hughes, for which they served bans. Captain Allan Border and coach Bob Simpson steer the young side through choppy waters and as the decade winds down, they lift the 1987 World Cup and thrash England 4-0 in the 1989 Ashes.
