Three generations of the Dhatt family on the partition of India

The 麻豆社 has been marking 70 years since India gained independence after 200 years of British rule. But what does this anniversary mean for those of Indian descent born and raised here, in Britain? Rajindar Singh Dhatt - who is 95 years old - saw Britain as the enemy until Japan threatened to attack India, so he joined the British army. Later, he settled in London. Our reporter Raj Bilkhu has been to meet Rajindar and his family to see what independence means to his son Parminder, and British born granddaughter, Amrit.
