One of the most contested issues in this era of globalization is ethnic identity which has become a mainstay of the contemporary literary and cultural studies. The integration of diverse cultures and ethnicities within a society further obfuscates this scenario. Thus, with a view to exploring the cross-cultural issues in British mainstream society, this conversation with Ravinder Randhawa deliberates upon the issues of negotiating identities, cultural duality, and gender inequality. Sceptical of a binary distinction between the “West and the Rest” (Hall, 276, 1992), Randhawa defies any labeling process that would assign her to a single community. Defining identity as an individual conscience, she emphasizes on being human rather than being fragmented into myriad dichotomies on the basis of ethnicity.
