Ady Dayman

Available for over a year

Tom and Vishva Murtha met and fell in love in the 1970's after she fled here from Kenya. They had to fight to get married because of prejudices on both sides, but last week they celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary together. Now their story has been put out by the British Cultural Archives and has made a splash on social media.
