How is the Thatcher period's London (or more specifically south London) presented?
The white vs. the Pakistani: Who represents the white and the Pakistani? What kinds of white people are shown in Johnny and Rachel? Are there any similarities between them? What positions has Johnny (who was a neo-Nazi of the National Front) taken in relation to the "Paki" from the past to the present of the film?
The Pakistani:
How is Papa opposed to uncle Nasser? Do they feel a sense of belonging in London?
How do the wives (Cherry and Omar's wife) in the film identify themselves? And how about Nasser's daughters?
Nasser -- He is the most complicated person in the film. How does he behave in front of his uncle and the other relatives? How is he related to Tania on the one hand, and then Johnny on the other? How does he treat Salim in the drug business?
