Description: | Mohamed Abdus Salam was a leading member of the Progressive Youth Organisation (PYO), a Bangladeshi community group, in the 1970s. Here, in conversation with Jamil Iqbal of the Swadhinata Trust, he recalls the growth of self-assertion among Bangladeshi youths in response to racial abuse and violence. The 1970s was an important period in the establishment of the Bangladeshi community in London, and in developing its confidence and identity. Youth groups such as the PYO were set up to defend young Bangladeshi people against racial abuse and violence. Mr Salam describes some of their activities here. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Swadhinata Trust | Subjects: | Migration and Citizenship Public services Communities Power and Politics | Temporal: | 2006 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
