First off Dan gets schooled on how Bangladesh's independence from Pakistan was almost entirely ignored by the media because the USA was too busy fighting Communism in Vietnam. [The wars do overlap, even though we decide they don't on the podcast - sorry!]

Then we get stuck in: auditioning for the Call To Prayer in a mosque, losing your virginity in a house that you own, the national speed limit and dual carriageways, not being the right type of Asian for the usual narrative, and being a good enough leg spinner to get Australian citizenship.

Eshaan's show 'Prophet like it's Hot' is on at the Soho Theatre, London in February. Tickets can be bought right here.
