7.45* Thought for the Day
Our Asian Immigrants
History has linked the People of Britain and the Indian subcontinent since the 17th century. Trade. the army and the civil service took many families out East to a lifetime's involvement. Now People from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh have come to live in Britain.
What is the history that shaped their culture and its customs? What is caste and what is purdah, and how do they affect the daily lives of the man and woman in the street? And are these traditional customs under pressure from Western ideas? Rashida Noormohammed, Education Officer of Birmingham's Community Relations Council, and Mathoor Krishnamurti from Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, the UK centre of the Institute of Indian Culture, are in the studio to answer your questions about the culture and customs of the Indian subcontinent. Barbara Myers is in the chair Produced by the Woman's Hour Unit

Themes from the 70s. A series of ten programmes. 4:Pacific Overtures
Following President Nixon's opening visit to China in 1972, it was Japan which seized the opportunities offered by China's modernisation drive. Mao Tse-tung 's successors looked back on the period of the Cultural Revolution as ' ten lost years ', and determined to transform the country by the year 2000". For this, Japanese technology and investment were essential. The Peace and Friendship Treaty, signed in 1978, brought the two countries still closer together. But each also had other pressing aims -China to build alliances against the Soviet Union, and Japan to secure her world trading empire.
John Tusa looks at the new China-Japan axis against the background of rapid change in the whole Asia-Pacific region. Producer WILLIAM HORSLEY
