Valuing and conserving our diverse heritage is an important endeavour for our presents and our futures. Recognising how certain aspects of heritage are prized over others, and how such imbalances can be mitigated are equally significant. In an adaptation of George Orwell's famous lines from his book, 1984, those who control the past control the future, and those who control the present control the past. Experiences and practices of discrimination and inequity in the current era has repercussions for whose, and which kind of heritage continues for future generations.Our vision is to develop and consolidate a UK-India network that highlights and deepens a framework of analysis that is conscious of social and institutional discrimination when it comes to valuing heritage. Our framework is informed by gender and intersectionality on Indian and Diasporic (GRID) heritage so as those people and practices discriminated along the intersecting lines of gender, caste, class and/or ethnicity along with their heritage work are fully appreciated, engaged and supported at the national and transnational level. We plan to consolidate the GRID Heritage network through the organising of two workshops, linked exhibitions and musical performances in New Delhi and London, a project website with an online exhibition of case studies and digitised archive along with other more long-term strategies. The network will include academics, researchers, curators, heritage practitioners, managers and other specialists in three main areas: (i) Craft: paintings, illustrations and three dimensional objects (co-ordinated by Parul Dave-Mukherji, Principal Investigator, India),(ii) Threads: embroidery and textiles (co-ordinated by Raminder Kaur, Principal Investigator, UK), (iii) Echoes: music and performance (co-ordinated by Navtej Purewal, Co-Investigator, UK).Each of these components will be developed by network participants, and supported by free public events in New Delhi and London to which the general public including local Asian, heritage, arts and youth groups will be invited. We encourage network participants to apply a gender and intersectionality lens to heritage issues and cases by asking the following questions: - How do we develop a context-specific understanding of gender and intersectionality as they apply to Indian and Diasporic heritage? In what ways have practitioners felt discrimination with respect to their identity and heritage? What are the implications of this for the individual and the community/ies with which they self-identify in changing contexts? - To what extent is the value assigned to forms of heritage used to include some groups and the devaluation of other forms of heritage used to exclude others? How are categories such as 'art' and 'craft', 'artisan' and 'artist' applied for work that draws upon an individual's heritage?- How do we make sense of heritage objects and practice located across diverse caste-class, religio-ethnic and regional contexts? How does this influence an understanding of their various homes, whether they be in India or in UK?- How can we use gender and intersectionality lenses to empower individuals and communities to build upon their heritage?- How can we place what might be off-the-grid or hidden heritage associated with marginalised people on a platform where they can be valued now and in the future?The network activities will lead to a project website with digitised case studies, visual and audio-visual recordings of public events, open access working papers, reports, a GRID Heritage roadmap including an executive summary to send to stakeholders, teaching material for undergraduate and postgraduate courses, interim and final network reports including a comprehensive evaluation report for participants' and partners' own networks. This final report will later inform the development of a firmer focus, aims, objectives and partners for further international research.

珍惜和保护我们的多元文化遗产，是我们现在和未来的重要努力。认识到遗产的某些方面是如何比其他方面更受重视的，以及如何缓解这种不平衡也同样重要。根据乔治·奥威尔（George Orwell）《1984》（1984）一书中的著名台词改编而成的一段话中，谁控制过去，谁就控制未来，谁控制现在，谁就控制过去。当今时代的歧视和不平等的经验和做法会影响到谁，以及哪种遗产将继续为后代所继承。我们的愿景是发展和巩固一个英国-印度网络，突出和深化一个分析框架，意识到在评估遗产时的社会和制度歧视。我们的框架以印度和散居（GRID）遗产的性别和交叉性为依据，这样，那些在性别、种姓、阶级和/或种族的交叉线上受到歧视的人和做法，以及他们的遗产工作，就会在国家和跨国层面上得到充分的赞赏、参与和支持。我们计划通过在新德里和伦敦组织两次研讨会、相关展览和音乐表演、一个项目网站、一个案例研究在线展览和数字化档案以及其他更长期的战略来巩固GRID遗产网络。该网络将包括三个主要领域的学者、研究人员、策展人、遗产从业者、管理人员和其他专家：(i)工艺：绘画、插图和三维物体（由印度首席研究员Parul Dave-Mukherji协调）；（ii）线：刺绣和纺织品（由英国首席研究员Raminder Kaur协调）；（iii）回声：音乐和表演（由英国联合研究员Navtej Purewal协调）。每一个组成部分都将由网络参与者开发，并由新德里和伦敦的免费公共活动提供支持，这些活动将邀请包括当地亚洲人、文化遗产、艺术和青年团体在内的公众参加。我们鼓励网络参与者通过提出以下问题，将性别和交叉性的视角应用于遗产问题和案例：-我们如何在适用于印度和流散遗产时，发展对性别和交叉性的具体背景理解？从业人员在哪些方面对他们的身份和遗产感到歧视？这对个人和他们在不断变化的环境中自我认同的社区/国家有什么影响？-用于包括某些群体的遗产形式的价值在多大程度上被赋予，而用于排除其他群体的其他遗产形式的贬值在多大程度上被赋予？“艺术”和“工艺”、“工匠”和“艺术家”等类别如何适用于利用个人遗产的作品？-我们如何理解不同种姓、宗教、种族和地区背景下的文物和习俗？这如何影响他们对不同家庭的理解，无论是在印度还是在英国？-我们如何使用性别和交叉性的视角来赋予个人和社区以遗产为基础的权力？-我们如何将与边缘化人群相关的可能脱离网络或隐藏的遗产放在一个平台上，使它们在现在和未来都能得到重视？网络活动将导致一个项目网站，其中包含数字化案例研究、公共事件的视听记录、开放获取的工作文件、报告、GRID遗产路线图（包括发送给利益相关者的执行摘要）、本科和研究生课程的教材、中期和最终网络报告（包括参与者和合作伙伴自己的网络的综合评估报告）。这份最终报告将在以后为进一步的国际研究提供更坚定的重点、目的、目标和合作伙伴。
