BBC Asian Network - BBC Asian Network's Big Debate, Qasa Alom

The results of a survey commissioned by Asian Network suggest that 34% of British Asians think immigration is too high. Do listeners agree?

Is immigration too high? We're asking this because a survey commissioned by the BBC Asian Network suggested that 34% of British Asians think immigration is too high. We also discuss another finding in the poll of 2,000 people, which suggests that 48% of British Asians questioned said Britain had become less tolerant since the vote on Brexit two years ago. Plus Ishita Ranjan and her mum Gayatri tell us about tracing their family tree after watching a BBC documentary on the partition of India. And this week's Big Debate's Little Debate comes from therapist Mandeep Jassal. This week she wants us to ask, is it harder for Asian men to talk about depression than women?
