"An essential part of my identity is that I am a child of colonialism. If it weren’t for the British Empire, I wouldn’t exist. My parents would never have met. I think about what are the struggles that they went through in terms of being a multicultural couple, an interracial couple, and my father as a South Asian man (who moved) to the UK to live and make a life and then emigrated to the U.S. So these ideas have a direct impact on my life and the life and experiences of my ancestors." - Arun Luthra, saxophonist [source: The Cap Times]
