I really loved the movie "Bent it like Beckham" about a Sikh family
living in Britain whose teenage daughter loves playing soccer.
One of the reasons the father initially didn't want his daughter to
play soccer with the English girls is that when he was younger he
had been rejected from a cricket club because he was a brown-skinned
Indian.
I'm always amused when I see this kind of theme about Indians in
white society because Indians are the kings when it comes to class
systems and pidgeon-holing people when it comes to things like skin-
colour.
