I knew I wanted to be in London,but I was clueless as to where.Goldsmiths ended up being theperfect location. New Cross hasa beat of its own. With universityactivities and events in the localarea, plenty of things go down inNew Cross to keep you entertained.It is far enough to escape the bustleof central London, but close enoughto be a part of it when you want to.
London
is a fantastic city,with so much to do,
to see, with easy accessto any part of the UK.

Indian community in London
London has a long-standing Indian
community, with many organisations
promoting Indian culture and lifestyle.
It is the largest ethnic minority in London,
with a population of around 500,000.
Indian people have made their mark on
many aspects of London life, participating
in all levels of politics, business and cultural
initiatives. In recent times Indian culture
and Bollywood films have made an impact
on the British entertainment industry. The
Bollywood influence was acknowledged in
the West End with Andrew Lloyd Webbers
production of the Indian themed musical,
Bombay Dreams several years ago.
The Indian community adds a unique and
important dimension to the cultural vibrancy
of London, organising events, live music,
films, dance shows, art exhibitions, craft
displays, Bollywood festivals, and other
celebrations throughout the year. Bollywood
movies have become an integral part of the
London film scene and can be viewed in a
number of cinemas around the capital.
London boasts one of the finest Indian
restaurants in the country and there are also
many food shops and specialist supermarkets
catering for any need and budget. Brick Lane
in East London has the largest concentration
of Asian restaurants, but popular choices
can be found all across London.
London caters for members of nearly all
Asian faiths, and celebrates all of the major
religious festivals, including Diwali, Eid and
Vaisakhi. It is home to the largest Hindu
temple outside India, the stunning Shri
Swaminarayan Mandir, located in Neasden,
north-west London; the largest Sikh temple
outside of India, the Gurdwara Sri Guru Singh
Sabha in Southall, west London and the
largest mosque in western Europe, The Baitul
Futuh Mosque in Morden, south London.

To be in London is a dreamcome true for me. Being froma nondescript village in WestBengal in India, a Masters degreefrom the University of London ishe best thing that can happeno me. I have been a Right Tonformation (RTI) activist inndia and was always interested inssues pertaining to development
and rights.
My internship with ManthanYuva Sansthan, an NGO workingn the Maoist affected areas ofharkhand (India) where I worked
on the implementation of therevolutionary Right to EducationAct and Forest Rights Act mademe question the discourseon development.
wanted to critically reviewhe present economic growth
of India vis--vis the idea ofinclusive development.
By joining the MA Developmentand Rights programme atGoldsmiths on a CommonwealthShared Scholarship, I think I havegot the true opportunity to expandmy horizon. The faculty membershere not only teach you the subjectbut also make you questionhe traditional ideas that helpo develop your critical thinking
on the subject.
Apart from that, Londons a bustling international
city teeming with many bigorganisations working in theector of development. To be
here in London means gettingunending avenues to realiseyour dreams.
