Saaj Raja’s autobiographical one-man show Bad Indian has been selected to feature at the Deptford Scratch – Global Majority Spotlight event, taking place on Thursday 23rd October at 7PM at Deptford Lounge, London.
Written and performed by Saaj Raja and directed by Heba Aboud, Bad Indian explores the experience of a first-generation British Indian navigating the complex intersections of culture, family, and identity. The piece blends storytelling, humour, and a touch of Bollywood to examine what it means to belong - or not belong - in both worlds.
The show follows a young man who finds himself “too British for the Indians, too Indian for the Brits, and, if you ask his mum, a very bad Indian.” Both heartfelt and witty, Bad Indian invites audiences into a deeply personal yet universal search for authenticity.
The Deptford Scratch - Global Majority Spotlight platform highlights bold new voices and underrepresented perspectives in theatre and performance. Saaj is proud to be part of this initiative, sharing work that contributes to a wider dialogue about identity and belonging.
