SAHM seeks to commemorate, mark and celebrate South Asian cultures, histories, and communities.
The month seeks to understand the diverse heritage and cultures that continue to link the UK with South Asia.
This year’s theme ‘Free to be me’ is encouraging us to celebrate our unique identities and voices.
Let us use South Asian Heritage Month as a foundation to embrace cultural exchange, challenge stereotypes, and celebrate the accomplishments of those from South Asian communities.
Together, we can create a more just world.
