South Asian Heritage Month

South Asian Heritage Month (SAHM) exists in order to commemorate, mark and celebrate South Asian history and culture, as well as to better understand the diverse heritage that continues to link the UK and South Asia.
It was launched in the House of Commons in July 2019. To celebrate the first formal celebration of South Asian Heritage Month, taking place between 18 July 2020 - 17 August 2020 we have a great collection of books from South Asian authors for you to discover on Borrowbox.
