BBC Asian Network - BBC Asian Network's Big Debate, Nomia Iqbal

Nomia asks whether listeners will be wearing a poppy this year, as the Royal British Legion launches its annual appeal and encourages people to see the flower as a symbol of hope.

Will you be wearing a poppy this year? We're asking this as the Royal British Legion launches its annual appeal and encourages people to see it as a symbol of hope. Also TV personality June Sarpong talks about her new book 'Diversify: Six Degrees of Integration' which spotlights marginalised groups and says a lack of inclusion limits the economy and us as individuals. Labour MP for Slough Tan Dhesi and journalist Sunny Hundal join Nomia to discuss whether Sikhs should be classified as an ethnic group in the government's census. Then chef Prateek Sadhu who cooks up meals in Bollywood gives Nomia an insight to what the stars like to eat.
