Bangla Stories
Have you looked at this website recently? Bangla Stories - which is comprised of a website and resource pack for teachers - charts the history of eight individuals who migrated from the state of Bengal after independence in 1947. Their stories help explain how and why ordinary people move from country to country. The resource in particular illustrates experiences of migration among Bengali Muslim communities in India, Bangladesh and the United Kingdom.
The Bangla Stories website follows our highly regarded Real Histories Directory teaching resource, which aims to aid parents, teachers and pupils in teaching and learning about cultural diversity in the UK. The Real Histories Directory is available here:
