who wrote the Enoch, I am a British Indian and When?

Conservative MP Enoch Powell delivered a harrowing speech in Birmingham in 1968 condemning immigration throughout the United Kingdom. The speech titled 'Rivers of Blood' was labeled as 'evil.' Powell was kicked out of the Shadow Cabinet as a result, and many immigrants felt endangered in the country they had embraced as their home. Powell became a figure of derision as well as ardent admiration.

Sarinder Joshua Duroch, a British man whose grandparents immigrated to the United Kingdom from India, offers a fresh take on this polarizing figure.

Despite his disagreements with Powell's approach and the grief Powell has caused his family, Duroch discovers that finding common ground is not impossible. Enoch, I Am a British Indian is a daring and unorthodox look at immigration, multiculturalism's failures, and the legacy of a remarkable and controversial MP, whose influence is perhaps stronger than ever now.

Sarinder Joshua Duroch was born in Glasgow and currently resides in Kent. He began his professional career in Glasgow's museums before moving on to a successful teaching career. He is married and has two sons, and he is quite proud to be a third-generation British citizen.
