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

Nomia asks, do listeners feel pressure to drink alcohol?

Do you feel pressure to drink alcohol? We're asking after a new survey, commissioned by the BBC to investigate attitudes to alcohol among British Sikhs, found that 27% of British Sikhs report having someone in their family with an alcohol problem. After that we're joined by this week's guru fitness expert Kapil Lakhani. He's live in the studio to answer all your questions. Then Nomia asks, do you secretly eat meat? New research suggests that people in India under-report eating meat due to "cultural and political pressures". And author Salma Zaman talks to us about her book 'Can't Dance Without My Bhangra Pants'. The book is based on how she used dance to help fulfil her autistic son's dance hobby.
