If you enjoyed reading my feature about the Pashtun folk singer, Zarsanga, for The @Guardian, watch this video I put together about the singer and the wider misrepresentation of Pashtun culture as one characterised only by violence and oppression. 🎥 🇵🇰 🇦🇫

Really chuffed. Our story about the #WW1 registers that have been lying in a museum in Pakistan and have now been made available online by .@amanmadra and his team has been the lead story across BBC's various South Asian news bulletins 😊. Link to the report to follow soon.#WW1

But, unlike the 73,000 from the Indian army of the First World War commemorated by the @CWGC, his name is missing. It is possible Kola Singh is one of many Punjabis whose sacrifice has been revealed by the Punjab Register, but who remain un-commemorated. (3/4)

This is an amazing resource! I accidentally found my great-great grandfather in these records, who like many had been lost in history. Luckily with these records, we can change this!

Happy Bandi Chhor Divas and Diwali 🪔🕯🧡👵🏽

After 9 months of @UKPHA book club planning meetings on Zoom I finally met the very clever and glamorous UoB student @JasminAthwal last night at a Mehfil-E-Ghazal with the @partapbrothers. Didn’t recognise her!! Had an oldie moment😊 #southasianheritagemonth

Happy Father's Day to the immigrant Papas who moved across the world to plant roots in an unknown land. The ones who didn't have a roadmap and are trying their best. The ones who never looked back in order to create a life where we can intentionally make choices they never had.
