Hi @MNHQ.
I'm posting to make a request for an Indian mumsnetters board. I know there have been requests for an Asian/AME board but I and other mumsnetters feel a specific Indian board would be really useful and benefit us.
Indian people make up the largest minority group in the U.K. we experience challenges and issues specific to being Indian (not just Asian or AME) and would like a board to go to in order to talk about these issues. Especially as many of them can be cultural and when posting about them on other boards it can lead to unhelpful advice from those who don't understand the situation.
I know there have been requests for an Asian board however the term 'Asian' homogenises a massive group of people from the biggest continent who have different cultures, ways of life and face different issues. Therefore it wouldn't be useful for issues specific to Indian people as there is very little crossover in, for example, Japanese and Indian cultures and ways of life.
We have seen the succcess of the new Black mumsnetters board and the sense of community it has brought as well as the help it has provided on specific issues and this has inspired us to ask for a space specific to us too.
Please feel free to ask any questions.
