The older Asian generation are going to have to let go slowly but surely, and as different generations grow up these happenings will be in time a thing of the past (hopefully).
I wish you could be right OAP,but it just won't happen for a number of reasons. One is that when immigration from the Indian sub continent first began in the 50's, the powers that be mistakenly claimed that there would be no problem because after a couple of generations they would have adopted our way of life. Look around you and tell me if this has happened.
Another reason is that as the old Asian generation has died off, they have been replaced by younger extremely vociferous zealots who are more than ever determined to maintain traditions and customs. Check out what is happening in schools in Birmingham, Bradford and elsewhere. Like many I would like to see integration, but I am sorry to say it will never happen.

The sad thing is I know what you say is true, at my age I don't think I will every see proper integration with the Asian community."
