Mother Tongue
Road to South West
In this episode, L-FRESH speaks of his relationship with his mother tongue language: Punjabi. Fluent as a child, raised in a household where English was the second language, he succumbed to the pressure of wanting to fit in, a symptom of Australia's assimilation-colonial mindset, and lost touch with his language and his culture. Speaking in a very personal way, L-FRESH shares the pain of not being able to communicate with his grandmother in his mother tongue.
