Thanks to a collaboration with South Asian American Digital Archive (SAADA), the only independent non-profit organization working to document, preserve and provide access to the rich history of South Asians in the United States, we’re delighted to share an original image every Monday.

Today’s item is the April 1, 1914 issue of The Hindustanee, a publication of the Vancouver-based United India League. The front page of the issue features the wrestling match between “Champion of India” Dalbagh Singh and “Champion of Great Britain” Pat Connelly. You can find the original photo on the SAADA website.
