London’s Kingsbury park to host major Gujarati culture festival

By Asia Samachar | Britain |

Rangeelu Gujarat 2025, an immersive celebration of Gujarat’s rich culture, is set to take place at a North London park despite noise disturbance concerns raised by some residents.

The three-day festival will be held at Roe Green Park in Kingsbury beginning Sept 5 after Red Lotus Events were granted a licence by Brent Council’s Alcohol and Entertainment Licensing Sub-Committee, reported local media portal Harrow Online.

The organiser said the event will help create “diversity, understanding and more cultural awareness” of the community.

Red Lotus Events creative director Mira Salat said they “have empathy for the neighbours” who may feel some disturbance during the festival but said the three days “will create so much more joy” than that.

“We would, with open arms, welcome everyone to the festival. There is so much to do there and so much to learn from, we are sure everyone would really enjoy it,” she said.

Residents and councillors had raised issues about the potential for the noise to disturb neighbours and students at the nearby Kingsbury High School, according to the report. However, the organisers have agreed to start the acts later on the Friday to ensure that students “are not disturbed as much as possible” and made assurances that noise levels will not exceed an agreed 65 decibels.

With Love From Kala Singh and Channo Ohana

IN LOVING MEMORY OF OUR GRANDMOTHER

Our beloved grandmother, Madam Harcharan Kaur @ Amar Kaur, passed away peacefully on the 21st of August 2025, leaving behind a lifetime of love, laughter, and lessons that will forever remain in our hearts.

She was more than a grandmother to us—she was the thread that bound us together. She was our storyteller, our guide, our comfort in difficult times, and our greatest cheerleader. Her kitchen was always filled with the aroma of delicious food, and her home radiated warmth, laughter, and open arms. She taught us the importance of family, of kindness, and of finding joy in the simplest things.

To us, she was Manji. She had a way of making each and every one of us feel special—through her words of encouragement, the thoughtful gifts she showered us with, and the heartfelt Ardas she offered whenever we achieved something. She touched our lives in countless ways and helped shape us into who we are today.

Though our hearts are heavy with grief, we choose to celebrate the beautiful life she lived—a life defined by resilience, generosity, and unconditional love. She leaves behind children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and a legacy of memories that will carry her spirit forward for generations.

We will miss her stories, her laughter, and her presence, but we know she will continue to live on in each of us.

Rest in peace, dearest Manji. You will always be with us. We love you.

First Sikh manager in British football history

By Asia Samachar | Britain |

Morecambe FC has appointed the first Sikh manager in British football history days after the national league club was saved from financial turmoil by Panjab Warriors.

Ashvir Singh Johal, who arrives at the club having never managed a first-team side before, joins from Notts Couty where he worked as a B Team head coach.

The new Shrimps boss is now also the youngest manager in the top five tiers of English football, landing the job at just 30 years of age.

“Morecambe Football Club is delighted to announce the appointment of Ashvir Singh Johal as the Club’s new First Team Manager.

“He arrives at the Mazuma Mobile Stadium with an excellent reputation as a forward-thinking coach and leader, bringing with him a wealth of experience in player development, tactical innovation, and building high-performance cultures,” the club said in a statement shared at its website.

Ashvir spent 10 years at Leicester City, coaching players in the academy setup from U7s all the way through to U18s, during that time Leicester City went through their most successful period as a football club. His first experience at first team coaching came when he joined Wigan Athletic in 2022 as first-team coach in the Championship.

In June 2025, at 30 years old, he completed his UEFA Pro Licence with the FA, the highest qualification in management and football coaching.

A day earlier, the club confirmed its acquisition by Panjab Warriors with the formal approval from the National League, resulting in the lifting of its suspension. Its embargo will also be lifted once all outstanding football related debt are paid.

“We can confirm that we have received funds from our new owners Panjab Warriors this morning to pay all outstanding Wages, HMRC liabilities and all other Football Creditors which will all be paid by Wednesday 20th August 2025 and will be in the Bank Accounts of all individuals by the end of Wednesday.

“This marks the end of Jason Whittingham’s tenure as owner, who took control of the club through Bond Group Investments in May 2018. All at the club, would like to thank Jason and wish him the very best for the future,” the club said.

Opinion | I see the storms I have survived, the steep ascents of struggle and the wide fields of hard-won achievements that lie far below. The winds have carried me to unexpected places: sometimes into valleys of hardship, sometimes into landscapes of joy. What I once dismissed as coincidence or chance, I now recognise as hukam, the divine will guiding me, even when I could not see the pattern. - Manjit Kaur
