The BBC is doing a show on Sikhs in the UK. Their press release starts with this little factoid: “There are enough Sikhs in Britain to fill the Royal Albert Hall one hundred times over.” I’ve never thought of counting groups’ population sizes that way before ….
The documentary is narrated by Kulvinder Ghir from “Goodness Gracious Me.” It will include interviews with Comedian Sody Singh Kahlon, nonagenarian marathon record holder Fauja Singh, and twin artists Amrit and Rabindra Kaur Singh, amongst others. (This is a painting by the twins, btw.)
Now we know how many Albert Halls it takes to sit Brit Sikhs … Nah. Tell Paul he doesn’t have to worry about his day job yet.
I saw the twins exhibit in 2002 at the art museum in Delhi. It was very good. They mix in caricatures of a lot of contemporary figures into their art. Its a pretty unique style as you can see by the example ennis has linked. Check it out if you can.
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Halllll….
saw the video clip on this……wow!
