Colourful Heritage is the largest South Asian Heritage focussed, community-led, charitable initiative in Scotland. In 2010, Colourful Heritage started as an informal conversation with a group of friends over a cup of tea. They decided that many of the early generations of South Asian elders were passing away so they wanted to try and capture their stories because there was an archival silence. This podcast is in celebration of our 10-year anniversary.
