South Asian Heritage Month
South Asian Heritage Month
South Asian Heritage Month, celebrated from July 18th to August 17th each year, is a celebration of the rich history and culture of South Asia. It marks milestones like the enactment of the Indian Independence Act on July 18, 1947, and the establishment of the Radcliffe Line on August 17. Initiated by the UK’s South Asian community in 2019, the month is supported by organisations like The Grand Trunk Project and City Sikhs.
South Asian Heritage Month is a time to celebrate the amazing cultures and histories of South Asian communities, with a new theme each year. It’s all about exploring heritage, sharing stories, and giving people of South Asian heritage the chance to reclaim and express their identities. It’s an opportunity to learn, reflect, and connect. To find out what this year’s theme is and what’s happening, head over to their official website!
