That 14th August should be a time to reflect is possibly the least controversial stance toward it. Here, we hear thoughts that should help us challenge & re examine our perceptions of identity, our attitude toward language and ideas

This episode is the first part of a recording of an event we hosted in May 2023 in partnership with SOAS, University of London.

It includes conversation on the decolonisation of thought & identity and speaks to the Pakistani context.

Speakers: Professor Salman Sayyid Dr Farah Nazir

Host: Muniba Mahmud
