Remembrance Day: Asians and the war effort

Ajmal Hussain

Available for over a year

The Queen led the nation in remembering servicemen and women who died in conflicts past and present on Sunday. A two minute silence was observed as Remembrance services were held around the UK. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the start of World War One, 70 years since the D-Day landings and the end of Britain's conflict in Afghanistan. In this clip, the BBC's Ajmal Hussain speaks to Sunder Katwala, director of British Future - an independent think tank on migration - about the part South Asian soldiers played in the First and Second World Wars.
