Healing From Our History is a vivid account of how British colonial rule in South Asia led to tragic famines and destruction then, and severe health consequences now for modern South Asians. With this awareness, we can heal and thrive.
Though modern lifestyle choices are an important factor, the current severe rates of heart disease, diabetes, and other deadly or life-changing diseases in the South Asian community can be linked to the starvation, deprivation, and economic destruction that occurred during the 190 years of colonial rule.
Healing From Our History documents horrific conditions for past generations, but the book is, importantly, a story of survival -- for our ancestors, and for us. Knowledge has healing power.
Looking back will help modern South Asians and health and education leaders understand the epigenetic repercussions of these famines and help us move forward -- empowered.
Together we can heal from the past and deal with current health consequences. Let's honor our ancestors, make smart choices, and be healthy!
IN HEALING FROM OUR HISTORY, YOU'LL DISCOVER:
* A chronology of more than 25 large-scale famines that occurred in South Asia
* Details of inhumane, disastrous policies that affected almost every region and class
* Stories of survivors like Pandita Ramabai, who went on to become a social activist.
* Highlighted critical and surprising facts, and section summaries for easier reading.
* Accounts of efforts to help South Asians rise above the oppression -- by Mahatma Gandhi, as well as nursing leader Florence Nightingale, and some British leaders.
* Graphs and illustrations that demonstrate how South Asia's colonial economy collapsed as Britain's soared, which affected the South Asian population's survival on every level.
A Note from the Author, Dr. Mubin Syed:
As a doctor practicing for almost 30 years, a health historian, and a heart-attack survivor, this book has been part of my mission for many years -- to help educate and inspire South Asians to live healthy lives.
I've shared my research in an academic paper, through a TEDxTalk, via the news media, and on social media (@desidoc_md).
If you have supported my work -- thank you!
Now, my book Healing from Our History is the most thorough account of the historic influences on our community's current alarming health statistics.
But...our history does not need to determine our future!
Together, with this knowledge of our shared history, we can optimize our lives and health.
It would be a profound honor for me if you would:
