The Day Bhangra Died: Moving to Punjabi music is good for your fitness, but not in the way you might think

When new ideas come around we have to make decisions about which old ideas get to live, and which have to die. This book is less about bhangra, and more about shining a light on a way forward for South Asian diaspora, and anyone who finds vigorous exercise to Punjabi music appealing.

In a time of rampant obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other pandemics, this book is pointing towards a solution for the most inactive demographic group in the UK, the South Asian diaspora.

The challenge of increasing the participation of mindful physical activity is not an easy one.

There is a third way. Reimagined for the next generation, a concept that can help us out of this health crisis.
