Mehdi Hasan, Zeteo’s editor in chief, share’s a personal message after the passing of his father:
My father’s life story is a reminder of why the bigots and xenophobes are wrong about immigration, multiculturalism, and ‘identity politics.’
My father passed away last month in the UK. He was a proud Indian immigrant to the UK, but also a very proud British citizen.
In the video above, I pay tribute to my dad and explain why his story matters at a time when politics on both sides of the Atlantic is dominated by bigots and nativists; I lay out the ways in which his entire life’s journey is a rebuttal of Trumpism and Farageism.
