The world often feels rigged. And this episode is a wake-up call to recognize the barriers that exist for those who don’t fit the traditional mold. In this episode, which is a kind of tribute to my dear departed Dad, I recount some powerful lessons from the man who was a brilliant psychiatrist and my biggest champion. He taught me that if something feels off about the environment you’re in, it probably is—and it’s absolutely hella-not your fault. We dare to break into the uncomfortable truth that many workplaces are designed for a very specific demographic, leaving neurodivergent individuals, particularly those on the autism spectrum, feeling excluded. I share three stories in which my Dad imparted to me more than my fair share of his wisdom, and I'm hoping you to can feel empowered. You'll learn that we can advocate for ourselves and others to create a more inclusive work culture.

Basics of Sikhi Podcast is a relaxed talk show about Sikhism (Sikhi) and topics related. Most discussions and learning about Sikhi take place in a formal setting like a Gurdwara (Sikh temple), by way of Punjabi speaking Parchariks (educators) speaking to the congregation. In recent years, many educators have taken to online platforms such as YouTube & Facebook to inspire, educate and spread the message of Sikhi to the world, in English. Our successful and popular YouTube channel, Basics of Sikhi (be sure to subscribe!) has been hugely appreciated as a new, interactive and modern way of learning about Sikhi, especially by the younger generation, some of which who cannot speak or understand Punjabi so much. In a similar way, this Podcast, hosted by Sukhdeep Singh (Sikh educator at Basics of Sikhi) and Karanveer Singh (Sikh volunteer), is continuing that innovation by bringing learning about Sikhi to an informal and relaxed platform in the form of this talk show podcast. Sukhdeep & Karanveer will invite different guests to the Podcast to discuss various topics directly and indirectly related to Sikhi e.g. Sikh history, traditions, fitness, nutrition, mental health, music and the list goes on!...

In this gripping podcast (filmed in September 2024), we journey through one of the most turbulent and inspiring periods of Sikh history — the rise of the Khalsa Panth, its survival during oppression, and its eventual establishment of Khalsa Raj. From the courageous battles of the 18th century to the visionary leadership of Maharaja Ranjit Singh Ji, we explore the unparalleled spirit that allowed the Khalsa to thrive against all odds. A big thankyou to Bhai Prabjot Singh for hosting this podcast and Bhai Mandhir Singh for sharing their gems of knowledge! 💥 Timestamps & Key Topics Covered: 0:00 – Introduction 2:00 – Reflections on the Wallace Collection & Maharaja Ranjit Singh Ji 5:00 – The Start of Khalsa Raj 6:45 – Sarbat da Bhalla – The Khalsa's selfless foundation 11:00 – How the Khalsa survived the 18th-century turmoil 13:30 – Key historical events of 1725–1726 15:20 – What was Hindustan? 16:10 – Conflicts with Zakaria Khan & the splitting of Punjab 18:20 – The role and function of Sikh Jathebandiyan 23:30 – What inspired and drove the Khalsa? 28:45 – Powerful Khalsa slogans 30:20 – The uniqueness of Khalsa governance 34:40 – Four types of political Sikhs 39:20 – Decision-making within the Panth 42:30 – Negotiations between Abdali and the Khalsa 49:00 – Legacy of Gurdwara Sis Ganj Sahib 54:40 – Who holds Sikh authority? 55:20 – An unforgettable Nihung Singh story 1:07:00 – What is the state of Punjab today? 1:15:00 – What should be the long-term vision of the Sikh Panth? 1:20:00 – Mobilising the Sikh community 1:23:50 – How to unify Sikh jathebandiyan 1:25:00 – Who should represent the Sikhs? 1:29:00 – Final message to the Sangat 🔥 This episode is perfect for anyone interested in: • The Khalsa’s political wisdom • Maharaja Ranjit Singh Ji's reign • The resilience of Sikh sovereignty • Lessons from Sikh military strategy and unity • Visionary insights into the future of the Panth A Revolutionary Blueprint for Sikh Sovereignty in the 21st Century In this groundbreaking conversation, Bhai Mandhir Singh outlines the bold and visionary legacy of Khalsa Raj—rooted in the revolutionary legacy of the Misls and the enduring institutions of the Guru Khalsa Panth. At a time of global instability, Hindutva aggression, and institutional collapse today, Bhai Mandhir Singh revisits the legacy of Sikh sovereignty as bottom-up praxis—anchored in the spiritual-political principles of Miri-Piri, Sarbat da Bhala, and Halemi Raj. Through vivid storytelling and rigorous historical reflection, he shows how the history of the Sikh Raj offers us a decentralized model of grassroots governance today, that is built around the protection of the weak and the revolutionary worldview of Gurmat. If you’ve ever wondered about the philosophical foundations and historical practice of Sikh sovereignty—and their relevance today—this is a must watch discussion. 📌 Be sure to LIKE, COMMENT, and SHARE this podcast with others to spread awareness of our glorious heritage and the timeless spirit of the Khalsa. 🧠 Let’s keep Sikh history alive.

In the final Installment of our special 3-part podcast series marking 40 years since the November 1984 Sikh Genocide in Delhi, we delve into the aftermath of one of the most tragic and horrific chapters in modern Sikh history. Part 3 focuses on the aftermath of the genocide, exploring the responses of the Indian Government, the international community, and the Sikh community. We dissect the various official commissions set up by the Indian government in an attempt to investigate the events of November 1984 — commissions that, rather than delivering justice, often served to bury the truth and protect the perpetrators of this organised violence. Rather than viewing the genocide as a singular, isolated event tied solely to the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi (as discussed in Part 1), we explore the broader context and systemic nature of the violence, showing how it was part of a larger pattern of discrimination and targeted attacks against Sikhs. We also highlight the journey the Sikh community undertook to seek justice for the victims and survivors of the genocide, the challenges they faced, and the strides they have made in the pursuit of accountability. Join us as we honour the memories of those lost in the 1984 Sikh Genocide and reflect on the lessons that must not be forgotten.
