BBC Radio Scotland - Sunday Morning, 31/07/2011

A Pakistan Special, one year on from the floods that devastated the country.

Join Ricky Ross and guests for a Pakistan Special, one year on from the floods that devastated the country.

Ricky Ross returns for 2 hours of discussion and music, and kicks off with a Pakistan Special, one year on from the devastating floods. He'll be talking to old and young voices, hear stories of surviving the floods and how young Scots are facing up to issues of identity now.
Joining Ricky in the first hour is Habib Malik, the head of Islamic Relief Scotland. This year he was honoured by the Pakistani Government for raising so much money from Scotland for the Flood Appeal. We're lucky to have him as he is about to hop on a flight to Nairobi to get stuck into the famine problems of Somalia and Kenya.
In the second hour Bashir Mann, who has served as Scotland's first Muslim politician and as a Justice of The Peace, and from Chicago Azeem Ibrahim a self-made millionaire and founder of the Solas foundation which specialises in educating young people away from violence. They'll be talking about Scottish/Pakistani identities and the future of Pakistan itself. We'll also hear from The Sunday Herald's foreign editor, David Pratt about how he has seen Pakistan change and develop over his time reporting from there.
It's also important to know where things are going artistically so we will speak to Alina Mirza who organised the first ever Pakistani film, media and arts festival in Glasgow in 2005.
Lastly Arifa Farooq will help me discover how young Scottish Muslims reconcile faith and lifestyle choices.
All that and a very wide sample of Pakistani pop, jazz and classical music.
