Overcrowded Asian Homes: what's the cure?

BBC Asian Network - Nihal, Overcrowded Asian Homes: what's the cure?

Should you kick members of your extended family out of your home to make more room?

Should you kick members of your extended family out of your home to make more room? Plus Nihal speaks to Darra Singh, chair of the Independent Riots, Communities and Victims Panel.

At 1, Should you kick members of your extended family out of your home to make more room?

We're asking this because a new survey by an insurance company found that the amount of living space we have is getting smaller, homes are becoming more crowded and children have less room to grow.

If that's the case for the general population, how much more worse is it for Asians? What with aunties and uncles, cousins, grandparents and family members from back home; is your house too crowded? Are you sick of sharing your room with your grandparents? Or do you think its better to be a part of a large extended family than a small nuclear one? Call Nihal and tell him what you think. 


At 2, Were you shocked by the riots that took place over the summer? People who have been affected by the trouble which ensued are being asked to explain what happened to them and what they think caused the violence. The Chair of the Independent Riots, Communities and Victims Panel, Darra Singh will be speaking to Nihal and appealing for your accounts of the riots.
