why did this photo of pretty patel cause such a stir the image of the home secretary attending what was widely reported on social media to be an immigration raid caused outrage with many questioning the tastefulness of making a photo op out of such an event [Music] in fact the photo was not taken at an immigration raid but the arrest of a suspected people smuggler and was intended as part of a publicity drive around the home secretary's new plan for immigration and in many ways it was classic pretty patel but it was also more than that the symbolism of that photo opened up a discussion which is rarely had in today's cultural debates around british history and the empire specifically the experience of asian immigrants from former colonies and how this background shapes their views on identity policies such as immigration and to the future path of the uk with the first indian origin home secretary ever in the uk right honorable preethi patel how can pretty patel herself the daughter of immigrants take the hard-line approach towards immigration that she does the answer is complicated but ultimately it's understandable to many patel's politics were clearly surprising and at times abhorrent on that basis alone i would actually support the reintroduction of capital punishment abhorrent to those who might expect immigrants to hold certain liberal views on immigration but to discover the truth we need to dig deeper the story of asian immigrants to the uk and their roots in the british empire is a complex one and it's an experience which has shaped them in a very particular way pretty patel's parents were part of a generation of ugandan asians who settled in britain in the late 1960s and 1970s uganda was a protectorate of the british empire between 1894 and 1962 and under the british tens of thousands of indians were brought to the country some to build the railways but also to act as a buffer between europeans and africans in the middle class rungs of business and administration the british invested in their education and they tended to be better off than the ugandan communities in which they lived by the time it achieved independence indophobia had already become ingrained in uganda from experience we've discovered that asians are very very shrewd and they've been exploiting this country for a very very long time in 1972 the president idi amin infamously gave the 60 000 asians living in uganda just 90 days to pack up their things and leave what will happen to these people if they don't go by the time i think they will be sitting like they are sitting on the fire i will tell you this you just wait after three months what will you do okay you will see i think they will not sit comfortably here in uganda i will tell you this the justification he said was to reverse british imperialism by giving uganda back...
