Student insightApril, USA

I knew I wanted to be in London,but I was clueless as to where.Goldsmiths ended up being theperfect location. New Cross hasa beat of its own. With universityactivities and events in the localarea, plenty of things go down inNew Cross to keep you entertained.It is far enough to escape the bustleof central London, but close enoughto be a part of it when you want to.

London

is a fantastic city,with so much to do,

to see, with easy accessto any part of the UK.

My favourite cityin the world.

Indian community in London

London has a long-standing Indian

community, with many organisations

promoting Indian culture and lifestyle.

It is the largest ethnic minority in London,

with a population of around 500,000.

Indian people have made their mark on

many aspects of London life, participating

in all levels of politics, business and cultural

initiatives. In recent times Indian culture

and Bollywood films have made an impact

on the British entertainment industry. The

Bollywood influence was acknowledged in

the West End with Andrew Lloyd Webbers

production of the Indian themed musical,

Bombay Dreams several years ago.

The Indian community adds a unique and

important dimension to the cultural vibrancy

of London, organising events, live music,

films, dance shows, art exhibitions, craft

displays, Bollywood festivals, and other

celebrations throughout the year. Bollywood

movies have become an integral part of the

London film scene and can be viewed in a

number of cinemas around the capital.

London boasts one of the finest Indian

restaurants in the country and there are also

many food shops and specialist supermarkets

catering for any need and budget. Brick Lane

in East London has the largest concentration

of Asian restaurants, but popular choices

can be found all across London.

London caters for members of nearly all

Asian faiths, and celebrates all of the major

religious festivals, including Diwali, Eid and

Vaisakhi. It is home to the largest Hindu

temple outside India, the stunning Shri

Swaminarayan Mandir, located in Neasden,

north-west London; the largest Sikh temple

outside of India, the Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh

Sabha in Southall, west London and the

largest mosque in western Europe, The Baitul

Futuh Mosque in Morden, south London.

Student insightAdil, India

To be in London is a dreamcome true for me. Being froma nondescript village in WestBengal in India, a Masters degreefrom the University of London ishe best thing that can happeno me. I have been a Right Tonformation (RTI) activist inndia and was always interested inssues pertaining to development

and rights.

My internship with ManthanYuva Sansthan, an NGO workingn the Maoist affected areas ofharkhand (India) where I worked

on the implementation of therevolutionary Right to EducationAct and Forest Rights Act mademe question the discourseon development.

wanted to critically reviewhe present economic growth

of India vis--vis the idea ofinclusive development.

By joining the MA Developmentand Rights programme atGoldsmiths on a CommonwealthShared Scholarship, I think I havegot the true opportunity to expandmy horizon. The faculty membershere not only teach you the subjectbut also make you questionhe traditional ideas that helpo develop your critical thinking

on the subject.

Apart from that, Londons a bustling international

city teeming with many bigorganisations working in theector of development. To be

here in London means gettingunending avenues to realiseyour dreams.
