the narrative of the documentary historized events of 1984 as a back drop to Sonia's journey from awareness of injustices against her community, a rediscovery of religion, an attraction to reactionary forces, a personal struggle ensues... a reconciliation to fate ....and she ultimately chooses to return live a happy life as a well behaved member of the secular British society, and choosing to keep her cut hair. Do you think the BBC are trying to tell us something?

Sonia seems like a nice person however she isn't very bright and the budget for the documentary probably barely covered her air fare, She didn't interview any dissenting voices or context from journalists, historians, activists, politicians in India, or even mention the Congress party!... but the Diwali party was a nice touch.
It is legitimate to critique this programme because tax payers fund the license fee and the BBC deliver this scrappy compromised 'documentary', and say to us shut up and take what your given.

All we have to do is make our own documentaries.
