Children and Worldviews: Rita and Harpreet's story
The Children and Worldviews Project explores qualitative, narrative methods to investigate the worldviews of children, that is, the way in which they make sense of their experiences and matters which are of particular importance to them.
Rita and Harpreet's story
Do you know what else is wrong in the world? People calling other people names. Like English people calling us Paki's and that. That should be changed. People do that to us sometimes, like a gang from the National Front will go up to people.
They try to get us out of the city, they think this isn't our city, but do you know, India isn't our city either.
Its because of our skin, like we're black and all that, dark brown and like they're a bit white and pink, that's why.
I think the only thing to do is just be friends and all that. Or maybe you should stay away from them, but if you stay away then you still meet them again. If you stay away from them they might think 'why are you staying away?' and they might concentrate on you even more.
