During World War 2, nearly a third of the British army were from the Indian subcontinent. They made up the largest volunteer army ever in history. But we still rarely remember these Sikhs, Muslims & Hindus. This VE Day we must remain firm in our pursuit of the truth. #VEDay80

I have family in Oldbury and now I’m terrified to go there alone. NEVER did I think being British-born with brown skin could make women a target to racist rapists. Does “Britishness” equate to intimidation and sexual violence? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

A poor Punjabi carpenter built his daughter’s first bat with his own hands. They mocked him for letting her play cricket. Years later, Amanjot Kaur became a World Cup winner with Team India, one of the most consistent performers of the tournament. This is Father's faith & love
