History is often told from the top down—kings, empires, and conquests. But the real pulse of the past lies in the lives of ordinary people, in the stories that were never recorded, or worse, erased.

Through archival photographs, untold anecdotes, and deep dives into South Asia’s tangled past, Brown History explores the threads that connect us across time and borders. This is history, not as it was written by THEM, but as it was lived by US,

We’re not funded by corporate partnerships, venture capitalists, or shareholders. Because the vast majority of our income is raised directly from supporters like you, we can be editorially independent.

We believe these stories should be accessible to everyone. That’s why we’ve set the subscription price at the lowest amount Substack allows. We believe in the power of people.

If you love what Brown History does and want to support it, subscribing helps keep this project going. But most importantly, I want you to read, learn, and share—because history belongs to all of us.

Subscribe to uncover the past they never taught us—one story at a time.
