At the Heart of the Nation: India in Britain

‘At the Heart of the Nation: India in Britain’, to coincide with the 70th anniversary of independence, will celebrate these unknown narratives through a stunning photographic exhibition. Shifting away from well-known accounts of post-independence India and the earlier period of the British Raj, the exhibition will focus on the ways in which Britain’s resident communities have, for centuries, played a crucial role in the formation of Britain. Highlighting these stories through a range of remarkable images, ‘At the Heart of the Nation’ draws belated attention to the wide-ranging contributions Indians have long made to Britain’s cultural, economic, intellectual, political and social life.
