More than 2.5 million South Asian soldiers served in WW2, yet only 52% of the public know this shared history.
To raise awareness, the My Family Legacy campaign is asking British Asians to share stories & pictures of ancestors who served.

As we mark #VJDay80, in which millions of soldiers from pre-partition India, Africa & the Caribbean served, worth noting that only 55% of UK public know that Indian soldiers fought for Britain in the World Wars. Just 24% are aware that soldiers from Kenya or Jamaica served.[1/4]

The three short months between VE Day in May and VJ day in August changed the contours of the postwar world, reshaping British politics, the map of Europe and the future of conflict in a new nuclear age. My column this week ahead of tomorrow's 80th anniversary commemorations

Important stat from ONS. Concerns about crime and migration are rising but people still care most about cost of living and NHS. Politicians need a message/plan on those too...
