“South Asian America: How media, entertainment and politics are changing everything”
Wellesley College
Asian American Awareness Month
Thursday, March 6, 2008

The event was organized as part of the college’s Asian American Awareness Month celebrations. I was asked to talk about South Asians and the media and used the opportunities to address some of the changes I have observed all around us.
