| Event Name: | British Pakistanis and Pakistan: 21st century citizenship and diasporas |
| Description: | The RSA, The Samosa and City University London present the second of a series of events exploring the complex and intimate relationships between Pakistan, Britain and the Pakistani diaspora in the UK.
Acclaimed journalist and author Anatol Lieven joins a distinguished panel to discuss the relationship between Britain, Pakistan, and the British Pakistani diaspora. Do Westminster's political and media networks engage sufficiently with the national British Pakistani community? Has the Prevent strategy resulted in the alienation of British Pakistani young people, and if so, how can more positive opportunities be created? Have the negative news reports and media narratives surrounding the conflicts in Pakistan and neighbouring Afghanistan effected community relations in Britain?
Join us for a panel discussion with Anatol Lieven, author of 'Pakistan A Hard Country'; Zaiba Malik, author of 'We are Muslim Please'; Jahan Mahmood, historian specialising in the role of Muslim soldiers who served in the British military; Anwar Akhtar, director, The Samosa; Rubia Dar, journalist, Pakistan International Peoples Association (PIPA)
