Short Description

Within the global South Asian community lies an expansive archive of cultures, spiritualities, philosophies, and ancient knowledge. Some of it is preserved through language, ritual, and resistance. Some of it lives in our stories, our myths, our art. But much of it has been buried, suppressed by colonisation,
lost in the name of “progress.”

And look where that’s brought us. A world on fire, systems collapsing, futures fraying at the edges not just for us, but for everyone. Future generations risk inheriting a world with far less than what we were given.
