Historic England: South Asian History in the North East

I was commissioned by Historic England very recently to write a blog on South Asian history in the North East of England. As a third generation Punjabi I was very passionate about this, aware that there’s less known up North. I explored some locations in the North East connected to South Asian heritage.

My previous work for the Narivad project touched on some South Asian History, namely the ethnic minority women who helped shape women’s rights today. My work for the metro also mentions and has an illustration of Hari Shukla.

Read the blog, and delve into the rich narratives, traditions, and legacies of South Asian communities woven into the fabric of this diverse corner of England. https://bit.ly/SouthAsianHeritageNorthEast
