Where
is home?
Where do we
belong when the maps are redrawn?
What happens
when we have to leave our homeland for a better future?
On board a
ship, we meet a young woman on her voyage between homes. Having grown up
in India and witnessing firsthand the historic events leading to
Independence, she is now making the journey to Britain where she will
spend the rest of her life.
Through flashbacks
to her life in India and flash-forwards to her future in the UK, the
picture is painted of someone caught between two worlds, races and
cultures.
“Having grown up
surrounded by aspects from two distinct cultures it was really
intriguing to do
some research into the Anglo-Indians and their specific position in
British India. Despite their descendants now living all over the world
most people know nothing about them. Caught between the British Raj and
native Indians, this unique community were both advantaged and
disadvantaged, and crucially stuck for an answer when told in both
countries to 'go home'. Through exploring my family's own history and the
wider Anglo-Indian community it became clear their stories share much
with many other people, whether around being mixed race or justliving in
an ever-increasingly diverse and multicultural society.” Writer
Daniel Tyler
