‘DETERMINED: Our Legacy as British Indians’ is a video and online project featuring young adults based in the UK with family roots in India. The project has produced short films, based on interviews and footage of their activities.
The project is a collaboration between the Platform for Indian Democracy and the oral historian and digital artist Rolf Killius. It demonstrates the various ways in which British Indians contribute to British society, highlighting their family’s histories, their stories as to how they got to where they are and the ties that they still hold to India throughout the series.
The interviewees for the short films speak of their lives in the UK and the special activities they do as well as their vision for the future. The underlying notion of the interviews is that the project respect democratic, secular, multi-cultural and diverse societies, both in the UK and in India. The basis for these films is that all of the interviewees are striving to live in a world based on respect and openness towards all communities without discriminations based on different socio-economic levels, believe systems, or sexual orientations.
