Colourful Heritage started 10 years ago to capture the rich and long South Asian story in Scotland. With inspiring first-hand video interviews, a museum exhibition, education resources and a digital timeline, we seek to preserve the stories of our elders for future generations.

The British Indian Army (BIA) played an instrumental role to protect Britain especially during World War 2 (WW2) and other conflicts. Over 87.000 Indian soldiers of various ethnicities and faiths including Muslims, Sikhs, Hindus, Christians and people of no faith lost their lives and countless others sustained life changing injuries during WW2.

We believe that it is important to honour their service and ensure that their legacy is never forgotten.
