The Cultural Frontline On Coldplay

Over to You

Available for over a year

Last Saturday, The Cultural Frontline featured a report about the controversy around Coldplay’s latest video. It is set in India and is accused of misrepresentation and cultural appropriation. Rajan Datar speaks to Sandip Roy, the journalist behind the report to ask why the BBC World Service decided to weigh in on the story, and listener, Jaya Bhattarcharji Rose from New Delhi, gives her reaction to the piece. We also hear from listeners across the globe who tell us what they would like to hear more of on the BBC World Service.
