Скачать или смотреть Partition & Peacebuilding: reclaiming the history of British South Asians | Hidden Histories Seminar

South Asian Heritage Month (SAHM) is about reclaiming the history and identity of British South Asians. People need to be able to tell their own stories, and this is an opportunity to show what it means to be South Asian in the 21st century, as well as look to the past to see how Britain became the diverse country it is today. Join Binita Kane and Jasvir Singh the co founders of SAHM to hear more about their grassroot level work.

We are also honoured to have Sparsh Ahuja joining the panel discussion. Sparsh is the co founder of Project Dastaan, a peace-building initiative focusing on the partition of India and Pakistan, reconnecting partition refugees to their original homes through virtual reality.

The event was chaired by Dr Amrita Shodhan (Senior Teaching Fellow, Department of History, School of History, Religions & Philosophies, SOAS).

This event is part of the Hidden Histories seminar series, organised by the SOAS Decolonising Working Group (DWG). The seminar series is curated by the Library Decolonisation Operational Group, led by Farzana Qureshi, Dr. Ludi Price, Amma Poku and Angelica Baschiera

Hidden Histories seeks to highlight stories from African, Caribbean and Asian communities in the UK and beyond, bringing to light a shared vision of decolonising knowledge production, and documenting the unique voices and experiences of diasporas in Britain and across the world.
