Later, they see the news and come to know that the bodies of a Sikh couple were found and it was a suspected racist attack. They attend the last rites of the deceased couple. Later on, the goons attack an Indian store owner. These goons believe that England belongs to white people. The family has to taste racism when Kamal (sister in law) of "I" is cornered and sexually humiliated. She comes to house in shock. "I" comes to know about this and beats three white racist goons. But his brother didn't lodge a police complaint. Later on, "I" is attacked by a Pakistani who is running a boxing club.
