Rajasthani Association London
The UK chapter of the Global Alliance of Rajasthani Communities. Padharo Mhare Des — welcome from London to Leicester to Birmingham.
The Rajasthani community across Britain — from Wembley to Leicester
The United Kingdom is home to one of the oldest and largest Rajasthani and Marwari diaspora communities outside India — many tracing their migration via East Africa in the 1960s and 1970s, others arriving directly from Rajasthan over the past four decades. Greater London (especially Wembley, Harrow, Edgware), Leicester, and Birmingham hold particularly deep Rajasthani roots.
GARC London is the UK chapter of the Global Alliance of Rajasthani Communities — working alongside existing institutions like the Rajasthan Association UK (RAUK), The Rajasthani Foundation, and the Rajasthani Welfare Society to bring the global GARC network and programmes to the British community.
Whether your family has been in Britain for generations or you've just arrived as a student or skilled migrant — GARC London is your community here.
