In the first episode of Season 2, Shabnum sits down with Faiza Gul and Jibran Ahmed to talk about the factors that contributed to Pakistani migration to the UK, a demographic that is much more sizable in comparison to Pakistani immigrants to the US. We talk about how and why so many Pakistanis moved to the UK in the 60s - 80s, the racism they faced, and a deeper look into some of the nuanced issues that British Pakistanis face in their own community. We will talk about the relationship of different South Asian groups to each other in the UK, and look to sort some of the myth from fact we hear in the media about the British Pakistani experience.
