Drama on 3: Bora Bistrah

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

India and Pakistan 07
Five international authors write about members of the same family living in their countries: the Midwest of the USA, Nairobi, Karachi, Shanghai and Bradford.
The members are descended from the same maternal grandmother who crossed the border from India into Pakistan in 1947. Bora Bistrah means "pack your bags" - everything, including the kitchen sink. Music by Arun Ghosh and singer Ebere links the stories.
Producer/Director Shabina Aslam
