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

Why are Asians obsessed with fair skin? We're asking after survey commissioned by the BBC Asian Network suggests that 58% of British Asians think that fair skin is valued more in our communities. After that we hear from Amit Gudka on why he decided to set up his own company - Bulb Energy. Then Qasa speaks to award winning playwright Vinay Patel about two of his new plays 'Sticks and Stones', which premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival last, and 'An Adventure'. Plus we'll be speaking to 18-year-old Zain Zafar who is due to get his A-Level results but isn't planning to go to university because he's set-up his own shoe business.
