15 South Asian Stories to Read This AAPI Heritage Month

South Asians are the fastest-growing group in the U.S., and our stories are as vast and complex as the subcontinent itself. To mark Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, revisit just 15 of our favorite stories, from overlooked histories to cultural icons — told with the nuance they deserve.

In May 1979, U.S. President Jimmy Carter signed Asian Pacific American Heritage Week into law, which Congress expanded into a month-long celebration in 1992. But at The Juggernaut, this work isn’t limited to one month. We hope you dive in and keep exploring our archive, which grows every day. And if our work resonates, join our subscriber community today — to help us continue telling the stories no one else will.
