Brought to life with case studies and rarely published photographs, this is an opportunity to get up close to the experiences and vital impact Asian people have had in Britain. Meet pioneers such as Sake Dean Mahomed and Jayaben Desai and find out why the Asian community has been fundamental to Britain’s success on the world stage.
