About this Event
Mihir Bose, born in Kolkata shortly before Indian independence in 1947, still feels enormous gratitude towards Mr Crombie of the UK’s Home Office, who confirmed his permanent resident’s rights.
He went on to make a career as a journalist in Britain, working for several national newspapers. He become the BBC's editor of sports news and has written many books.
In his latest book, his memoir, he remembers growing up in India, and charts the changes in British society since her arrived here in the 1960s, with a few modest mentions of some of his many sporting scoops along the way.
