"I've grown up watching my parents settle into life in the UK, and as a second generation British Asian I've grown up living between two cultures - overall it's been a rich and fulfilling experience for me. However, whenever I return to India I feel at times more 'English' than 'Indian'. I get frustrated with the pushing, the shoving and the constant peeping of horns. If I struggle when I'm on holiday here, what about those people who've chosen to make India their home, particularly if they're white?!" Heather Chathley was a trainee nurse, when she met a trainee Indian Doctor at Belfast's Royal Victoria hospital. When Heather went for her first holiday to India she ended up marrying her Doctor, and since 1979 the city of Moga in the Punjab has been home. However, for Lindsay Singh - who has been in India for over 13 years, she and her Indian husband have decided to see if they can now start a new life in the UK - but with her changed values and attitudes Lindsay's now not sure where they'll end up. These are 'The Blonde Women of India'. Producer/Presenter: Perminder Khatkar First broadcast on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Radio 4 in July 2013.
