Desi Download with Kulvinder Ghir

Desi Download is a 30-minute pick of the week programme presented by Kulvinder Ghir. Highlights of community Asian programming on BBC Local Radio available as a podcast every Tuesday.

This week on Desi Download:

This week's Desi Download is presented by the BBC's Talat-Farooq Awan!  We've got an upbeat start when we hear from two Bristolians who got to be extras on Salman Khan's film 'Veer' and feature on the UK trailer!

Also this week the legendary musical genius A R Rahman talks about his soundtrack for a new Tamil film, his Slumdog success and more...

In the North West the subject up for discussion is a new forced marriage website launched in Blackburn.  We listen to Blackburn MP and Justice Secretary Jack Straw on the communities he feels are more affected by the issue.

Over in the West Midlands we hear from a member of the Asian Christian fellowship in Wolverhampton, who sing Christmas carols in Punjabi.  Also there's more festive stories from Northamptonshire with Christmas memories from a childhood in India! All this and much more on this week's Desi Download with a bit of festive cheer from Talat-Farooq Awan!

You may have missed these so here is something from our archive for you to enjoy
