Bangla Stories

last updated:13 Jun 2010

Runnymede and the London School of Economics have collaborated to produce Bangla Stories - a website for young people (Key Stage 3) about migration, integration and life histories.

Bangla Stories charts the history of eight individuals who migrated from the state of Bengal after India became independent in 1947. Their stories help explain how and why ordinary people move from country to country.

The resource illustrates in particular the experience of migration among Bengali Muslim communities in India, Bangladesh and the United Kingdom.
