Oral Histories

From this page you can access the stories of over 60 South Asians from across the UK. Here you will find interviews with people ranging from their early 20s to mid-90s, living in Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England, from different social, cultural, religious and linguistic backgrounds. We have included testimonies from those who identify as LGBTQIA+, as well as those from working-class or caste-oppressed communities and those whose family histories can be traced as far back as the early twentieth century.
