The P Word
After the allegations of racism at Yorkshire County Cricket Club, Rajan Datar goes on a personal journey looking at the impact of the 鈥楶 word鈥� on South Asians in the UK.
Is the use of the 鈥楶鈥� word ever acceptable? Prompted by the recent allegations of racism at Yorkshire CCC by cricketer Azeem Rafiq, Rajan Datar and producer Rajeev Gupta go on a journey of personal exploration. Like many South Asians in the 1970s and 80s, Rajan was routinely called the P-word as he walked to and from school, but a new generation of young British Asians say they now claim the word and it can be used within the community as a sign of power. Rajan finds out for himself how true this is and does a context in which the use of the word is acceptable actually exist?
