In a world where everyone is already prejudiced against other cultures, the last thing we need is someone writing abook like Rani and Sukh. It practically promotes teenage sex and is full of stereotypical characters (The bossy dad, the timid mum, the dominating brothers) and Indians just aren't like that. If anyone wanted an idea of what modern Indian people were like I'd recomment anything by Chetan Bhagat, especially 2 States. Well that was sad! Unlike most films I watch, I kinda wanted a happy ending or some closure with this book but the tragic cycle repeated itself. I suppose it is better finished that way. Rai was born in Leicester in 1971, to Punjabi parents. [1] At the age of eleven, he read The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole by Sue Townsend, which inspired him to take up writing. He has also cited Roald Dahl as an early influence on his writing. [2] He attended Judgemeadow Community College, moving to Wyggeston and Queen Elizabeth I College for sixth form. Bali Rai was born in 1971 and raised as a working class Punjabi in Leicester. He grew up in a deprived area of Leicester, a city which is almost unique in terms of cultural mix and his style of writing is firmly grounded in the reality that he has seen around him since he was a child. The senior school he attended was about 80% BAME - 20% white children in terms of ethnic makeup. urn:lcp:ranisukh0000raib:lcpdf:15e9c1e9-354e-4c6f-b719-0e8d846a896e Foldoutcount 0 Identifier ranisukh0000raib Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t6rz9cj3h Invoice 1652 Isbn 0552548901

Our Key Stage 3 students have regular reading lessons as a part of their curriculum, and we also dedicate time each week to whole school reading so that our students can share their love of reading collectively. We also encourage all our students to read as much as they can outside of lessons. As part of our Academy’s CORE Pillars, students can complete their ‘Reading Challenge’ by reading 18 books before the age of 18. See below for our Academy’s ’18 by 18’ book list: Bali Rai showed parts of his debut novel, (Un)arranged Marriage, to literary agent Jennifer Luithlen, who agreed to represent him. Once the novel had been edited, Rai signed a contract with Transworld. The novel was published in 2001 to critical acclaim. In 2014, Rai received an honorary doctorate from De Montfort University in Leicester. [7] Awards [ edit ] Year a b "Summer Graduations - Saturday PM". Facebook. De Montfort University . Retrieved 16 January 2018.Probably not the right choice for the SOW I am developing for school - I think the themes of teenage pregnancy and violent feud are not exactly what we are looking for - plus also I wonder how people would react to the rather stereotypical presentation of cultural norms. There is nothing very nuanced here. Rai has made appearances on television and radio to discuss racism, his writing, and promoting reading for pleasure.
