In the 18th century, the Sikh mystic and generalissimo Vadbhag Singh resided peacefully in Jalandhar before being maliciously attacked by Islamic zealots. His lands were ruined, and his religious sanctuaries desecrated, with Vadbhag Singh barely escaping with his life. However, Vadbhag Singh was not one to remain passive. He returned to Jalandhar w…

Kangana Ranaut, the CISF Constable's slap changed her life. It was a life-awakening moment for her. But now, with her film 'Emergency' Kangana is trying to reclaim her lost glory. While Sikhs are arguing for a total ban on the film, they are yet to discern that Kangana is a symptom. Her 'Emergency' is the latest in a string of media attacks on Sikh…

The Badal clan's recent drama at Akal Takhat Sahib is a long standing tradition for them. Do the deed and then apologize for round two. But is this how the Khalsa leadership has always functioned? In this episode, we chart the devolution of the Akal Takhat from its primacy during the Guru era to its regression in the post-Dal Khalsa Maharajah Ranji…

Men are under pressure in today's world: to conform or die. It is only the exceptionally rare male who can withstand society's insidious pressures and remain true to his ideals. In this episode, we explore the life of the legendary 18th century Sikh martyr Bhai Sukha Singh Shahid and discuss how he can serve as a positive role model for Khalsa men …

The Dal Khalsa was the pinnacle of Khalsa governance. Its sanguinary rise in 18th century Punjab and dominance of its foes paved the way for the eventual rise of Ranjit Singh's Sikh Empire in the early 19th century. But why did the Dal Khalsa fade away? Listen to find out more.

In this episode, we trace the history of the Dasam Granth and its purpose among the broader Sikh literary heritage. We answer allegations levelled against the Charitropakhyan by non-Sikh detractors of the Panth seeking to convert non-Sikhs to the falsity of their faith. Knowledge is power, and it's high time we leverage it to defend our Sikhi and o…

Watch to uncover the hidden history and lessons learned.…

From misappropriating the Sikh dastaar even though the Bible forbids head coverings for men to being unable to heal their own family members while claiming to heal others, Christian pastors have become a controversial aspect of the Punjabi religious landscape. Carrying on from our previous episode, in this sequel we continue exposing their tactics …

Punjab is undergoing a sweeping Christian missionary offensive where its poverty-stricken citizens are being manipulated into converting to Christianity either through bribery or threats. A Singh reached out to us from Gurdaspur requesting information to refute Christian attacks on Sikhi. We responded with this episode. Defend your Sikhi, defend yo…

What comes first? ancestral loyalty or religious loyalty? In this episode, we explore the saakhi of Sham Singh Nihang, from the Sri Gur Panth Prakash, a Jatt warrior who was so strong in his dedication to Sikhi that he refused to honor the requests of fellow Jatts.

Building on our recent episode on the negative impacts of ghetto music on Punjabi artistry, in this episode we explore how media itself is being weaponized against Sikhi by non-Sikh actors and how we can protect ourselves and our children.

An analytical look at the career and assassination of Sidhu Moosewala and the infamy of the Rap genre and how it is weaponized against target communities.

A retrospective analysis of the Sikh-Pakistan relationship and how Pakistan betrayed the 1984 Sikh armed struggle on religious grounds in Punjabi.

In an era of divergent and often conflicting identities permeating the Punjabi social sphere, the upholders of Punjabi nationalism are unwilling to answer the question: which community is the true heir to Punjab's sanguinary tradition of standing for one's rights and slaying the imposers of tyranny? For us, the answer is simple; only Sikhs are wort…

A brief analysis of our foreign-based western Sikh preachers and their agenda-based preaching.

A wake up call for Punjabi listeners regarding the recent events in an UK Sikh school and the ensuing fallout.

Irfan Habib- a controversial figure in subcontinental historiography. In early 2001, Habib captained the publication of Sikh History From Persian Sources. Though the text was praised by Sikh personalities at the time, its content reflected Habib's long term tendency of misinterpreting historical facts with convenient alterations to cast doubt on th…

Niccolo Machiavelli, the infamous author of the equally infamous The Prince. Contrary to the popular view of his immorality, Machiavelli argues that power is amoral and only its execution can be bifurcated into immorality or morality. The Prince is highly relevant to the Sikhs today considering their unceasing pursuit of power. What can we learn fr…

The enforced regression of Sikh societal values as a political policy and its adverse impacts on Punjabi culture, overall, are unmissable today. From ludicrous stunts on tractors costing lives unnecessarily to high-handed caveman antics abroad, Sikh youth lack the foundational cornerstone of Sikhi: Responsibility. So then what is the solution if a …

Hate it or love it, but it is fast becoming a conspicuous fact that the smarter generation of Sikhs was finished off in the 80's and by some seeming design the incompetent were allowed to escape and spread abroad. These vestiges of a fallen generation now control Gurudwaras and Panthic institutes captaining the Khalsa ship to oblivion due to their …

Would you trust a serpent to repay its dues to you after you save its life? Or would you be realistic enough to acknowledge that the serpent is venomous by nature and strikes both friend and foe alike? If the latter is your answer and not the former, then ask yourself: why would you trust individuals or communities whose beliefs emphasize your eter…

Bhaichara, a term fast devolving into a pejorative for asinine solidarity in which Sikhs suffering from inferiority complexes splurge the community's precious resources on non-Sikhs whose religious ideology emphasizes that we will burn in hell for our non-conformism to their beliefs. We are joined by the legendary historian S. Inderjeet Singh in di…

We are joined once again by the legendary Anmol Singh Rode, Ranneeti Punjab, for another exciting episode. This time we discuss the discipline of historiography, a field bordering on an art form in which academics and intellectuals study how and why history is formed in our minds. We delve deep into the fundamentals of historiography, its relation …

In this brief episode we look at a marvellous incident from the Sri Gur Sobha of the poet Sainapati, a contemporary of Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Sainapati was an eyewitness to the Guru's destruction of a village called Alsoon in the vicinity of Anandpur Sahib after the 1691 battle of Nadaun. The Sikhs had triumphed and were returning home when the Guru…

This idea for this episode originated after a heated debate between a team member and an evangelical zealot. The zealot in question ,Shahi 1987, adopted the position that death could not be divine and was not brought into existence by God. Such fictional mythologizing runs against the grain of reality that Sikhs accept as being Hukam, divine will. …

In 1781 the fanatical Mughals attacked the Punjab for the last time. Bested by the maverick general Baghel Singh of the KaroraSinghiyaa Confederacy they were effectively routed and beat a hasty retreat never to return. But the KaroraSinghiyaa was an unique body of Khalsa men who swore to get even and in 1783 launched a massive campaign which result…

December, a month of remembrance for the Sikhs who pay tribute to the martyrdom of Guru Gobind Singh Ji's family and four sons while treading the path of Guru Nanak. However, do we still retain their militant spirit?

Bhai Bota Singh and Bhai Garja Singh are two of the most conspicuous Martyrs of 18th century Sikh history. In this episode we explore their lives and the relevance they hold for the Sikh world today.

Professor Audrey Truschke, the Hindu Right and Islamists-these three seemingly disparate entities are united in denying and disparaging the martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur the ninth Sikh Guru. In this episode not only do we answer their allegation that no contemporary source exists to evince this martyrdom, but we also cite contemporary Persian sour…
