Street Smarts

Yellow cab drivers from South Asia navigate the chaotic urban terrain of New York and talk about their experience, post 911 as they interact with people from all walks of life. In particular Sikh taxi drivers speak of racial profiling and how their appearance leads to discrimination while Muslim drivers echo this when they say that terrorism is not linked to religion. Listen to taxi driver wisdom from the vantage point of driving around in New York, witnessing immigration, terrorism and international politics. “God is One”, says the Sikh driver. Preaching universal kindness and unity is the spiritual need of our times.
