Like the post but, oh god, my eyes! (Seriously, i had to read that in two sittings as it was really difficult to pick the text out from the background)

Anandi Ramamurthy's book on the asian youth movements has just been published as well - she also recognises the necessity of having a wider analysis.

Cheers I read the amazon preface looks bang on, going to have to hunt down kala tala the accompanying film as well.

interesting stuff in the transcripts of Kala Tara, (its online at tandana btw)

How even in the nascent days of the AYM the Religious Right were opposed to Pan Asian Solidarity.

MOHSIN ZULFIQAR

One of the Mosques which is near Longsight was attacked by KKK type of attack and hooded people came up and smashed windows and so on, the interesting thing is in that particular incident was we gave a call for a meeting at the Mosque and the call for all the people to turn up, so of course the majority of the people who turned up were Muslims, but others also, especially the contingent from the Asian Youth Movement (Manchester) came in to support Muslims. I was chairing that meeting, there were a number of speakers, and of course you had other sections within the Muslim community like Jamat-e-Islami, Muslim Brotherhood who objected when I introduced one of the speakers by name who was a Sikh, and they said, you know, you can’t have Sikh speakers in the Mosque, and of course it was like oh ho, should we have non-Muslims coming in, I had to intervene at that time and had a passionate plea that racists do not see whether you’re Muslim, Sikh or Hindu, they’re going to beat you up or kill you, and then I went for a vote on the basis of what I had said and everybody ‘Yeah, yeah, let him speak, let him speak!’
