This article looks at Britain from the perspective of those who fall between two stools: they were born in the UK but have a cultural/ethnic difference that sets them apart. The colonial world created this difference, and this article traces in particular the implications of colonialism on Indian migrants. It then goes on to look at the cultural divide from a gender perspective, which cuts across the fight for racial equality. Finally, it assumes a personal stance in noting the very specific battles that the writer has faced both as a woman and as an ‘ethnic minority’, but also does express a belief that this is a voice speaking for many
