In the American elections several Indians have contested for Senate, Congress and other State legislature. I have noticed some of them being elected and this raises a question in my mind regarding the reasons why the British Indians in the UK are not so much active in public life especially in the politics of this country.
Right from being a school governor, a public prosecutor or even in any elected position it is our civic right to stand up and be counted. I, for one, have almost decided to enter the public life and join the party of my choice.
