b'The term "Paki" rose to prominence in the 1960s, white britons threatened by the arrival of south asian migrants to the UK used the term as a violent slur. Physical violence would often occur throughout the 60s,70s, 80s and 90s and these attacks would often be termed as "Paki bashing." \\n\\nDespite this being a significant part of the experience of many from south asia when first arriving to Britain, its cultural legacy has never been fully captured or grasped by mainstream media, film or the arts in general. Any reference to "Paki bashing" is resigned to a footnote as seen in the film "This is England" told from a young white skinheads perspective.\\n\\nToday, the term is still used widely as Islamaphobic rhetoric reinforces the idea of an "extremist," child grooming Muslim being someone brown skinned and bearded. \\n\\nThe purpose of the panel is to chart the terms historical origins and its usage today and examine the ways in which it has changed. After the panel we hope to have a session of questions, comments & discussion. \\n\\nThe panel was as follows:\\nCoco Khan (Culture Editor at Complex UK)\\nSuresh Grover (Director of The Monitoring Group)\\nAmit Singh (Co-Founder of Consented)\\nAsh Sarkar (Novara Media)'
