Сократить текст, growing up a british asian i was born in a town called blackburn, in the north-west of england, and lived there till i left. my parents had to england from india during the 70s. as a child, i went to my local school and, of course i spoke english with a local accent, just like all the other kids. but home was very different; we lived in a kind of 'little india', with a huge extended family of uncles and aunts, i feeling part of this big thing called 'family', and an even bigger thing called 'india'. i suppose my family really influenced me while i had was growing up. they often used to talk about india as 'home' - even though at that time i had never been there! to me, it doesn't seem at all strange to grow up as part of two cultures. i've always thought that growing up with two cultures is a gift, not a disadvantage. now that i have a child of my own, i want her to get in touch with her indian roots too, so we're planning a visit there later this year. all her indian cousins are looking forward to meeting her!
the north-west of England, and lived there till I left. My parents had to England from India during the 70s.
As a child, I went to the local school and the local English accent, as well as all other children. We lived in a kind of 'Little India', with a huge family of his uncle and aunt. I felt like a big family and more of what is called 'India'. I think my family really influenced me while I was growing up.for me, it does not seem at all surprising rise in the two cultures. I always thought growing up in two cultures is a gift. Now that I have a child I want, she met her Indian roots too, so we plan to visit this country. All her Indian cousins are looking forward to meeting her.
