Asian Americana 014 - Kala Bagai
"What was it like for a South Asian woman immigrating to the US in the early 20th century, and how did she build a community over her lifetime? And why name a street in Berkeley after Kala Bagai — especially since she may not have spent much time living there, if she did at all?"
This is for my friend Kirit. My best friend for last 50 years. He was like my younger brother. One whom you can call any time of a day or night and he will be there to help.
He was funny, always smiling and liked by everybody. He was 77 when he passed away but he had friends of all ages, 40 to 99.
