We are coming together to share the message of community cohesion and to celebrate the Independence Days of both India and Pakistan at the same time.

We aim to build stronger community bonds and spread the message of unity and togetherness.

We thank all our guests for their contributions and efforts. 

This is the fourth year, Bristol Multi-Faith Forum (BMFF) organised the India-Pakistan harmony buffet series. Previous years’ harmony events were successful, and we received appreciation from all over the UK. In previous years, Bristol Multi-Faith Forum has also been involved in arranging similar events with the Palestinian and Israeli communities and was successful in combating prejudice and spreading the message of harmony.

August 14 marks Pakistan’s Independence Day, and August 15 is Indian Independence Day. Due to the trauma of partition and communal conflicts, as well as the history of wars between both countries, there are tensions and misunderstandings between both communities worldwide. We need to alleviate such animosities and divisions amongst both communities at the grassroots level in the West of England region. Through this event, BMFF provides a platform for Indian and Pakistani communities in the West of England region to meet, enjoy, and spread the message of peace and harmony.

The India and Pakistan Harmony Buffet is a symbolic expression of the friendship that must exist between the Indian and Pakistani communities, as well as amongst the Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Bahai, Jewish, Parsi, humanist faith traditions, and all communities.
At a time when togetherness matters more than ever, we gather to embrace a shared future rooted in respect, dialogue, and community spirit.
Whether you are seeking a midday reset, mindful nourishment, or a chance to reconnect with your community, this event is designed to be more than just a meal—it is a moment of restoration and unity.
