Welcome to British Pakistani Index – News That Connects Communities
At British Pakistani Index (BPI News), we are dedicated to delivering timely, accurate and impactful journalism that matters to British Pakistanis and global readers alike.
We began our journey in 2020 as Pakistani Index, before rebranding to British Pakistani Index (BPI News) in 2025 to better reflect who we represent and the communities we serve.
