Truth and Reconcilliation: Let's Talk About Our Colonial Past

Join Natasha & Maya for a live episode of The Decolonial Podcast exploring our hidden history and post colonial legacy as it functions today

Join Natasha Junejo and Maya Kalaria for a live recording of The Decolonial Podcast as we discuss the truth of our colonial past and examine how post-colonial legacy reverberates through time and affects us today.

We will be reshaping the language around The British Raj, and choosing to use terms such as occupation, theft and genocide to describe what was perpetrated in the 200 years leading up to the Radcliffe line being drawn on 17th August 1947.

We are recording this episode live for SAHM on 15th August; India’s Independence Day, which is a day after Pakistan’s Independence Day and two days before the Radcliffe line was published, separating the two countries. This set out where the border between India, West Pakistan and East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) would be and has become the nexus point for generations of conflict and unrest.

So, where does this leave us now? Join us as we explore the complicated history of Britain and South Asia and how we can heal through open discussions and tangible, actionable resolutions.

This conversation is for BIPOC and allies. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday at 2pm. The podcast will be released on streaming platforms on 17th August.

We will welcome your questions - DM us at @thedecolonialpodcast or post them live to the event.
