📣 South Asian Heritage Month 2025
🗓️ Theme: Route to Roots
This year’s theme invites us to explore how identity, culture and connection shape our everyday lives often in subtle but powerful ways.
GP and RCGP member Dr Zalan Alam shares a deeply personal blog reflecting on his journey as a 'third culture kid' and how his heritage continues to influence his work in general practice.
From the story behind his morning cup of tea to the lasting impact of Partition this is a rich, reflective read on belonging, language and legacy.
'Maybe next time we want to look at roots and routes, we don’t have to look very far... all we need to do is sit on a cushy chair while putting the kettle on.'
