==Biography==
In British political terms he is considered Asian, though both of his parents are from the Caribbean; (see Indo-Caribbean). His mother, a nurse, is from Trinidad, and his estranged father, a mechanic, is from British Guiana (now Guyana). His mother was Hindu and his father Muslim; he has two brothers, who are also muslims. He was named one of the 20 most important Asians in British media in 2005.〔(Most Powerful Asians in British Media: Lord Waheed Alli ). ''Asians in Media''〕 At the same time, he maintains ties with his Caribbean roots, both with other British-Guyanese politicians such as Valerie Amos and Trevor Phillips, and with President Bharrat Jagdeo.〔John Muir, ("Caribbean Peers" ), Caribbean Voice, October 2001.〕 He is one of a group of highly successful Guyanese people in Britain (Michael White of ''The Guardian'' refers to them as the "Guyanese mafia"), which includes Raj Persaud, Herman Ouseley〔Michael White, ("Balls gets his retaliation in first as annual GCSE row begins" ), ''The Guardian'', 27 August 2009.〕 and David Dabydeen, Cynthia Pine, Keith Waithe and Rudolph Dunbar.〔''Guyanese Achievers UK'' (2007) by Dindayal Vidur.〕
Alli grew up in humble surroundings, attended Stanley Technical College in South Norwood and left school at 16 with nine O-levels.〔(Knitting Circle. )〕
