Started as a passion project in 2017 while organizing with Chicago Desi Youth Rising, this timeline is a living archive of radical South Asian American identity formation and community growth in the so-called United States. This project is heavily inspired by the South Asian American Digital Archive.

Along with being an online resource, this timeline has been a grounding point for workshops around South Asian community building and history making. If you’d like to bring me in to facilitate a workshop with your organization, reach out to chat!
