Kiran Sahota

Carl Chinn is joined by fellow historian Dr Kiran Sahota, revealing her research into the vital roles of South Asian men and women in two world wars and how that heritage empowers today’s communities and young people.

Growing up as a young Sikh Brummie in Handsworth, she was influenced by her grandparents and Kiran speaks about how her own family history - spanning the Partition of India, migration and foundry work - has shaped her career today, shining a light on hidden stories.

Make sure to keep an eye out for Kiran’s upcoming project: ‘Forgotten India at 80: The Stories You Don’t Know’.
