Selfhood - a podcast by BBC Radio 4

Ranjit Saimbi explains why he doesn't want to be defined by his cultural heritage.

In this talk, by turns intimate, by turns expansive, Ranjit describes the disconnect he felt from the Sikh culture in which he was born and raised, and proclaims his wish to be able to assert his own identity, free both from the constraints of that community and those in the rest of society who wish to put him in a particular box.

Producer: Giles Edwards
