A short story about us

Luton has been home to the Ravidassia Sikh community since the mid 1950’s providing employment in many of its factories and foundries for the newly arrived Indian Immigrant community. Numbers of which, steadily rose in the 1960’s and 1970’s and by the early 1980’s there was significant community.

This generation strove to maintain their culture, heritage and values whilst coexisting with western society and traditions. Despite their struggles and only initially intending to stay for four or five years and then return to India, Luton had now become their home.

The Year Shri Guru Ravidass Sangat was established We look back at 1983 with events that happened in that year, many of which were turning points in history and even impact us today 40 plus years on.
