As if sensing my unspoken question, he continued, ‘You know, it’s not just the financial struggles. It’s also about the discrimination we face.’ ‘Discrimination?’ I raised an eyebrow, puzzled. ‘You mean racism?’ He shook his head, ‘No, not from the whites. I don’t face racism from them. It’s the senior members of my community, those who moved here between the 1970s and 1990s, that make life tough for newcomers like me.’ In this thought-provoking book, Aparjeet Nakai delves into the heart of the societal schism that afflicts Indian immigrant communities, especially in Canada, the UK, and the USA. He meticulously unravels the roots of discrimination and seeks pathways to bridge the gap. Through insightful interviews on both sides of the divide, Nakai presents a balanced view, giving readers a nuanced understanding of the complexities at play, such as how media skews the pitch. Join this journey of discovery, where cultural nuances, generational perspectives, and the pursuit of unity converge in a compelling and enlightening narrative.
