We were invited to a Bengali gathering in Oldham. A special occasion organised by the English Bengali newspaper Probash Bangla to celebrate members of the their community who had made a special contribution to both British Bengali life and to Bangladesh.
The gathering was to celebrate the publication of Mohammed Miah’s book. Mr Miah is someone I’ve known for many years and he was one of the people we’ve interviewed as part of the Different Moons project, and he invited us to come along to the event – something we felt very honoured to be part of.
