About this listen

The Indian diaspora and its descendants are one of the most significant minorities in Britain today. This audiobook will examine the vast contributions they have made in influencing and shaping modern-day British culture.

In this book, we explore British Colonialism in India, a history of oppression and exploitation, whilst celebrating the contributions that the diaspora and its descendants have made to British society. In this condensed history, we explore the origins of the British East India Company, navigating through the dark history of a struggle for independence. On the way we meet Mahatma Gandhi, and recognize his significance in the fight for independence, before we discuss the partition of India and the later creation of Pakistan. We then conclude with Indian emigration to the UK, and the history of the modern-day British Indian.
