<jats:p>Gurinder Chadha’s film, Bhaji on the Beach , explores the issues of home, identity, hybridity, and belonging with respect to Indian women in Britain. The film revolves around a group of Indian women ranging from the age of 16 to 60, all members of the Saheli (girlfriend) Women’s Centre who go on a day-trip to Blackpool, a popular beach resort for working class Britons. This ensemble of characters represents a range of marginalizations experienced by the ethnic women in Britain today.</jats:p> |
