= Food at the South Asian Cultural Festival = South Asian food is hugely popular in Britain! The food served in the many Indian restaurants in the UK is very different from traditional Indian food found in India. Britain's favorite dish is Chicken Tikka Masala, though it has been said that it was created by Bangladeshi chefs in the 1960s to appeal specifically to British diners. Some of the most popular fusion foods are salted beef tongue, kedgeree (flaked fish, rice and parsley), fish rissoles (fish wrapped in a pastry), and mulligatawny (curry-flavored soup). All of these wonderful Brit-Indi dishes will be available for tasting at our festival! The following dishes will also be available -




 * Chutney**, a integral part of Indian food, is similar to jelly, salsa or relish. It is used with appetizers or as a dipping sauce for meats at the main meal. It is a sweet and sour dish that uses fruit and sugar for the sweetness, and vinegar and sometimes onions for the sourness. For just about every spice used in Indian cooking, there is a corresponding Chutney.



** Dal ** refers to any legume (any podded food - peas, lentils, etc) or a soup or dish made with legumes. It is high in fiber and protein, and is very easy too cook. It is spelled many different ways, and like chutney there are many different versions of Dal.






 * Once again with ** Kebabs ** there are many different varieties. It is served throughout the world, though the ** Kakori ** Kebab ** is native to India.It is made with minced goat meat and charcoal grilled on a skewer, and is traditionally eaten with mint chutney. Although this is the tradition in Indian culture, kebabs are made with just about any type of meat. 

Here are some well known and unusual Spices -
 * Allspice
 * Almonds
 * Bay Leaves
 * Black Cardamom
 * Cinnamon
 * Cloves
 * Dates
 * Dill Seed
 * Fennel Seeds
 * Garlic
 * Ginger
 * Jaggery
 * Kesar
 * Mint
 * Nutmeg
 * Poppy Seeds
 * Red Lentils
 * Rose Water
 * Sesame Seeds
 * Star Anise
 * Tamarind
 * Walnuts

====The food served at the South Asian Cultural Festival will be diverse and sure to please all guests! We will be featuring delectable food from the following restaurants that are native to Britain. Food Courts will open at 11am every day the Festival is going on.====

= Featured Literature at the South Asian Cultural Festival = ==“Literature adds to reality, it does not simply describe it. It enriches the necessary competencies that daily life requires and provides; and in this respect, it irrigates the deserts that our lives have already become.” - C.S. Lewis ==

To talk of Indian Literature is a daunting task - the Republic of India has 22 recognized languages, and different parts of India have different literary traditions. A common theme among Indian literature is mystical and religious experience, and like many cultures their literature started as an oral tradition. Luckily, Anglo-Indian Literature, while diverse in subject matter, is a little less expansive.

At our festival we will be celebrating well-known, well-loved, and sometimes controversial works done by Anglo-Indian authors. Our featured author will be ** Monica Ali **, author of // Brick Lane // , // Alentejo Blu // e, and most recently // In the Kitchen // , released April of last year. We will be hosting a Q & A session with her on // In the Kitchen //, and will be showing the movie based on her novel // Brick Lane. Brick Lane has been a controversial novel from the get-go, particularly because many Indian critics did not appreciate the light that Ali cast her characters in. She utilizes realism, although it "ceases to be traditional, because it is called upon to depict [a] new social juncture."

We will also be hosting author of The Buddha of Suburbia, ** Hanif Kureishi **. Because of the controversy that surrounds his work because of the graphic scenes and depictions of Indian culture, we will also be hosting a Q & A session. He began his career as a writer as a pornography writer; his first work - a screenplay titled // My Beautiful Launderette - // is about a gay Pakistani-British boy growing up in London during the 1980s. And if he did not seem like a rockstar already, his book The Buddha of Suburbia was turned into a t.v. series, for which David Bowie did the sound track for.

Our third author to be featured will be ** Hari Kunzru **, author of The Impressionist, and My Revolutions. //

The Impressionist
Fathered through circuitous circumstances by an Englishman, Pran Nath Razdan, the boy who will become the Impressionist, was passed off by his Indian mother as the child of her husband, a wealthy man of high caste. Growing up spoiled in a life of luxury just down river from the Taj Mahal, at fifteen the news of Pran's true parentage is revealed to his father and he is tossed out into the street - a pariah and an outcast. Thus begins an extraordinary, near-mythical journey of a young man who must reinvent himself to survive - not once, but many times.

My Revolutions
Chris Carver is living a lie. His wife, their teenage daughter, and everyone in their circle know him as Michael Frame, suburban dad. They have no idea that as a radical student in the sixties he briefly became a terrorist—protesting the Vietnam War by setting bombs around London. And then one day a ghost from his past turns up on his doorstep, forcing Chris on the run. As Chris flees, he remembers his days as an isolated youth,hopelessly in love with Anna Addison, following her as she threw aside conventionality. Chris’s rival for Anna’s affections, the charismatic Sean Ward, was the leader of the radical August 14th Group. Egging one another on, the three inched closer and closer to the edge, until the events of one horrifying night forced them apart, never to see one another again.

All authors will do a book signing on the Saturday of the festival! Bring in your own copies, or we will have them for sale at the festival!

It is especially important to spend your day with LASEMA on our festival launch day! With our first day starting off, we will be offering free cricket lessons! Who doesn’t want to play or learn one of the world’s most popular sports? One of our many goals here at LASEMA is to give you the best experience possible, and it doesn’t stop here. On our first day, many cricket experts (including a member from our [LIVE] Gallery Roger Binny) will be offering the public a crash course on this great sport. So, if you have never played the sport or wanted to perfect your skills come over and join us! LASEMA wants to make the best of the days following, because in those days participants in the training day will be entered into our cricket tournament. The LASEMA Cup 2010 will be featuring four evenly matched teams according to our cricket experts’ evaluations of the players. Due to time constraints, we will be playing the Twenty20 version of the game cricket. A team in cricket is comprised of 11 players, and given this special introductory opportunity to the sport, 22 slots will be available for each team pending participation amounts.



<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> As the training day comes to a close, Day 2 will be the beginning of LASEMA Cup. The first round of our first-ever tournament will be played throughout the day. Day 3 will mark the championship game, and the beginning of the end for the LASEMA festival. Be sure to soak in the entire experience, whether you are a player or excited spectator it is sure to be the talk of the festival!

Dangerously unfamiliar with the game? Well take a look at these key concepts and photos to better help you sound like a pro when you show up to the training, and flourish at the tournament.

media type="youtube" key="C9STtcwo0xE" height="333" width="439" align="center" <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> As stated earlier, due to time constraints we will be playing T20 Cricket. Where some cricket games can last up to 5 days, this version can end in as much as 3-4 hours. We find this version to be much more practical for our festival. The biggest thing to know about this version is why it is referred to as 20. The 20 involves the maximum amount of **<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">overs ** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> a team can have for batting. An over is when the bowler pitches the ball to the batter six times consecutively. And, a batter cannot participate in no more than 20% of the overs in an inning. So, for T20 Cricket, a batter can only participate for a 4 overs. Here is a picture of the Indian team winning the 2007 WorldTwenty20.

The Twenty20 version of cricket is actually a relatively new idea. It was first established in 2003 by English cricket authorities. The reason it was established was due to the ridiculous length of traditional cricket. Since games could last up to as many as 5 days people began to lose interest in the sport, and most competitions’ attendance suffered. Twenty20 was an attempt to revive the sport and bring in more spectators especially younger individuals. This change to the sport did just that, and paved the way for India to take a stab at this new market.

India designed what is known as the Indian Premier League which is something that resembles Europe’s soccer leagues in design. It takes some of the worlds best cricket players, placing them on 8 different teams. To play for the IPL, these players were paid as much as a million dollars, something completely unheard of for a cricket league.

To say India found a niche for the sporting market is an understatement. Their use of Twenty20 revives the sport. They have teams with international rosters. And, most importantly, they do not compete with the western world for revenue. I say this because they are not dependant on American viewers. This league has become so widely popular, they do not need to cater to an American audience like the Olympics or European Soccer leagues must do. With this league, India has become “the hub of international cricket”(Gupta 202). The IPL is watched by approximately 220 million people, “making it one of the largest television markets in the world”(Gupta 207).

With this production of the IPL, India has taken an English game and energized it in such a way the country can become a big sports market. The world is beginning to watch what India is up to with this league, so much that other countries are even constructing similar cricket leagues (South Africa, Australia, New Zealand). With the revival of cricket in these countries, the sport may have a chance to contend with such huge revenue generating organizations like FIFA, NBA, or MLB.

<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin;"> ====The British-Asian musical scene has been flourishing since the 90’s. According to Wikipedia, there is a term for these artists: “Asian Underground”. According to the web site, this type of under ground music incorporates Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and Sri Lankan type music with western dance music and style. It is said that these type of underground clubs were used to be considered outcast from the England music scene but as popular artists started to emerge and praise there network that it has become more of an elite place for Asian-English artists to be associated with. Aspiring artists from Asian countries treat this part of England like Hollywood is treated for American aspiring actors and performers. This is where our artists M.I.A. and Panjabi MC came from, so we are excited to bring more exposure to the area of “Asian Underground” culture.====

====With that said, if you’re musical preference is in rock and roll, jazz, techno, or country then you may not be too thrilled initially about what LASEMA has to offer. However, after you learn a little about all of the artists we will have performing at our festival we are extremely confident you will quickly change your attitude as these artists have tons of talent and entertainment to offer.====

 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Panjabi MC **

====According to Wikipedia, Panjabi’s real name is Rajinder Singah Rai and was born in England in the year of 1970. Coming from Indian descent Panjabi MC is known for his use of traditional Indian Music known as Bhangra for his inspiration as he uses it to mix in with his beats.====

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; text-align: center;">

====If you aren’t familiar with the form of Bhangra music and dance you will after this festival because we will also be giving lessons on the techniques! Bhangra is a form of music and dance that originated in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan according to Wikipedia.====

====Wikipedia also says that it was a form of folk dance that farmers would do to celebrate Vaisakhi, an important Punjab festival. Since its origin, other south East Asian countries have modernized Bhangra in order to express themselves and the culture of India and Pakistan.====



====You may also be familiar with Panjabi MC because of his latest single “Beware of the Boys” featuring American hip-hop super star Jay-Z (who will also be at the festival). The hit single “Beware of the Boys”, uses the traditional bhangra type music with lyrical beats produced by Jay-Z to make a modern hip-hop song.====

media type="youtube" key="wke0-lj2wzw" height="303" width="510" align="center"

====Headlining the festival will be super star M.I.A.! Although M.I.A. is known for being an international super star reigning from the great country of Britain, she had actually spent most of her life in South East Asia beginning shortly after she was born. According to Wikipedia, M.I.A.’s real name is Mathangi Arulpragasm and was born in the year of 1975.====

**M.I.A.** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;">



====Also according to Wikipedia, her father was part of the Tamil Army and then the founding member of the Eelam Revolutionary Organization of Students, which worked to liberate people from the regime in Sri Lanka. It is said on Wikipedia that M.I.A. received all of her political savvy from her father as he was a big part of her life and she looked up to him greatly. According to Wikipedia, this is also where she got her stage name from; meaning missing in action. Her father would be very proud and you should be too because she will be headlining LASEMA!!! Some of her hit songs include, Paper Planes, Galang, and Sunshowers.====

<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin;">

Lastly, LASEMA will be presenting Engelbert Humperdinck with a lifetime achievement award.
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">



<span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin;">

====According to Wikipedia, Humperdinck stole his name from the famous German composer named the same thing, Engelbert Humperdinck. Wikipedia also states, Humperdinck’s real name is Arnold George Dorsey born in 1936 in India to a British Army Officer.====

The real Engelbert Humperdinck! <span style="font-family: Cambria; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin;">

Humperdinck has gone through many trials and tribulations throughout his career but ultimately persevered and came out on top. Although you may not be aware of Humperdinck because of your age, we will have a time line of events to give you a sense of his accomplishments throughout the years. Humperdinck played the saxophone in nightclubs until a record company picked him up. However, even then it was hard for him to catch a break as he was drafted for the war and then couldn’t find his particular stride.

media type="youtube" key="rCZO9xeYA8g" height="320" width="402" align="center" ====After returning from the war and playing music in nightclubs he reunited with an old roommate who began to manage him according to Wikipedia. Wikipedia states that this same manager was that of Tom Jones the American super star soloist. Humperdinck would best be described as the English version of Tom Jones as he wooed women with his good looks and smooth style once he made it big.====
