British Indian teacher writes book on immigration fears- 11-Jan-2014
London: An Indian-origin teacher has written a book on the complex issue of mounting immigration fears in Britain.
Sarinder Joshua Duroch said he was inspired to write 'Enoch, I am a British Indian' to express his views against the European Union's open borders policy.
The title of the book, to be released next month, is a throwback to the infamous "rivers of blood" speech by Conservative MP Enoch Powell criticising immigration from Commonwealth countries in the 1950s and 60s.
"Although I cannot condone his words, the sentiment behind them is one I understand...it is surely common sense that a population influx needs to be controlled. I certainly do not support the EU's open borders policy," said Duroch, a member of the UK Independence Party (UKIP) – a party which campaigns for stricter curbs on immigration into the country.
Duroch said he would prefer to see a "uniculture" in the UK, as opposed to multiculturalism.
"Instead of submitting to multiculturalism, I have chosen instead to fully integrate into British society. Rather than multiculturalism, uniculture and an increase in patriotic attitudes from indigenous and immigrant British, would give everyone a greater sense of belonging," he feels.
Duroch's grandparents migrated to the UK from India in 1940 and he still has extended family roots in Punjab, a region he visits often. He describes his connections with India as "an inspirational part of my life".
His book comes at a time when there is growing debate and concerns over the impact of a new wave of migrants from relatively new EU countries such as Romania and Bulgaria after work restrictions were lifted this year.
Duroch compares and contrasts immigration from the Commonwealth nations back in the 1950s and with the present-day EU immigration issues.
