First Days Stories: SAADA South Asian Immigrant Stories

Note from the Author, Jagar Bhan:

I care about increasing an Asian American Native Hawaiian Pacific Islander history curriculum in schools across New York State to better understand the history of empire and colonialism and how it impacts us today. For example, my family is Kashmiri and I haven't learned anything about their history.. The main reason that I would like to be a part of this program is because I feel like my history is under-represented in schools. I have never learned about what happened in Kashmir, or how the Partition came to be. In conclusion, I would love to change the history of schooling and show other AANHPI students that they can be represented in schools.
