Dom Moraes: Return as a Stranger

At the age of 16 he left India to make his home in England. At 20 he won the Hawthornden Prize for poetry while still at Oxford. After spending half a lifetime in this country he had come to think of himself as an Englishman - until the campaign against coloured immigrants flared. Feeling that he had been denied the right to roots in Britain, Moraes returned to India. In tonight's film he shows what it is like to be a stranger in the land of one's birth.
