Bharti is the author of a memoir called Worth which was published on 9th March this year. Her story is about her dual African-Asian heritage and being abandoned at birth. Bharti was born in Uganda and adopted by a Sikh family.
In Worth she explores the experiences of racism, sexism and prejudicial attitudes towards illegitimacy in the 1960’s.
Bharti’s growing awareness of Angelic and Divine protection and spirituality is also highlighted in Worth.
Bharti moved to the U.K. in 1972 when Idi Amin ordered all Asians to leave Uganda. She moved with her widowed adoptive mother and two brothers and two sisters.
Worth, her memoir, tells of the experiences in the process of leaving Uganda and settling as refugees in the U.K. Bharti’s mother was ordered at gun point to leave her behind as the soldiers believed Bharti was Ugandan, not Asian.
Bharti is a single Mum having adopted her daughter and works as a child protection social worker. http://bhartidhir.com/
