The British Museum gleams with stolen riches from its colonial past – but Asian names are too 'confusing' for inclusion: When you have a name that perhaps sounds a little different – unusual, perhaps – some might ask: “How is that pronounced?”, comment: “Oh, that’s lovely”, or even: “What does your name mean? What are the origins?” As someone with one of those names – Shazia Awan – I’ve taken it in my stride while growing up in Wales, just as my sisters did too.
