The purpose of this research note is to share and discuss my experience of interviewing a first generation migrant Indian man. The note demonstrates how an amalgamation of English language proficiency and assumed social class, educational status, and gender effected the power relations in an interview, and thus the data collected. It suggests how the power relation brought into play due to differences in English language proficiency between the participant and the researcher/interviewer can be reduced, if not eliminated
