Look back at the events of 1947 through this illuminating documentary Children of Partition: An Oral History of Pothoharis is a deep focus on how a community was affected by Partition and their subsequent migration to the UK. The film focuses on the Pothohar region of West Punjab and how this community’s heritage and culture has been nurtured and cultivated by the generation who came to Britain. This project has been supported by the Heritage Fund.
The Pothohar Association UK strives to enhance the cultural heritage of like-minded migrants predominantly from the Pothohar region of West Punjab (now in Pakistan). With a membership of over 1500 this proactive association has organised many events ranging from charity dinners; an annual lecture; health awareness days; and family sports events. The association was founded in 1970 to help build the lives of new migrants when they arrived in the UK from India, East Africa and other countries.
