‘Are you sure you are a female?' Australia's first turban-wearing Sikh woman in the Australian Defence Force, Amritpal Kaur, says she has repeatedly been asked about her gender because she wears a turban. A national-level athlete and the first initiated Sikh woman to qualify as a national-level athletics referee in Australia, Kaur says greater awareness is needed about turban-wearing Sikh women. - ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਪਾਲ ਕੌਰ ਦਾ ਕਹਿਣਾ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਉਹ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਅਨ ਰੱਖਿਆ ਬਲ ਵਿੱਚ ਸੇਵਾ ਨਿਭਾਉਣ ਵਾਲੀ ਪਹਿਲੀ ਪਗੜੀਧਾਰੀ ਸਿੱਖ ਔਰਤ ਹੈ। ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦੇ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਸਰ ਤੋਂ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਆ ਆਈ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਪਾਲ ਦੱਸਦੀ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਉਸਨੂੰ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਤੋਂ ਹੀ ਕੁਝ ਵੱਖਰਾ ਕਰਨ ਦਾ ਜਜ਼ਬਾ ਸੀ, ਪਰ ਆਪਣੇ ਸੁਫਨਿਆਂ ਲਈ ਉਹ ਆਪਣੀ ਪਛਾਣ ਛੱਡਣਾ ਨਹੀਂ ਚਾਹੁੰਦੀ ਸੀ ਤੇ ਆਪਣੀਆਂ ਜੜ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਨਾਲ ਲੈ ਕੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਸੁਫਨਿਆਂ ਤੱਕ ਪਹੁੰਚਣ ਦਾ ਉਸਦਾ ਸਫ਼ਰ ਆਸਾਨ ਨਹੀਂ ਸੀ। ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤਪਾਲ ਮੁਤਾਬਕ, ਇੱਕ ਕੇਸਕੀ ਸਜਾਉਣ ਵਾਲੀ ਸਿੱਖ ਔਰਤ ਹੋਣ ਦੇ ਨਾਤੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਕਈ ਵਾਰ ਪੁੱਛਿਆ ਗਿਆ, “ਕੀ ਤੁਸੀਂ ਸੱਚਮੁੱਚ ਇੱਕ ਔਰਤ ਹੀ ਹੋ? ਪਗੜੀ ਤਾਂ ਸਿਰਫ਼ ਆਦਮੀ ਸਜਾਉਂਦੇ ਹਨ?”

Maharani Jind Kaur was far more than the mother of Maharaja Duleep Singh.She was the last Queen of the Sikh Empire. A political leader. A fierce strategist. A woman who resisted British rule and fought to protect her son, his throne and her kingdom.After visiting The Last Princesses of Punjab exhibition at Kensington Palace, I couldn't stop thinking about her and how often powerful women are reduced to footnotes in someone else's story.In this episode, I explore Maharani Jind Kaur's extraordinary legacy, the lives of the Princesses of Punjab and why recovering the stories of South Asian women from history matters for the women creating change today.

Once Lucumo son of the Corinthian exile Demaratus, Lucius Tarquinius decides that he wants more from life than being a rich Roman Senator, commander and trusted friend of the king- and his wife Tanaquil has the same idea. When Ancus Marcius dies and his sons are still underage, I'm sure Tarquinius can be trusted to be completely honest and above board. Right?NB: Lucius Tarquinius gets the epithet Priscus later during the reign of the seventh king of Rome, but we're going to be referring to him as Priscus throughout to make everything clearer.Time period: 616 BCERelevant individuals: Ancus Marcus, 4th King of Rome; Lucius Tarquinius Priscus, 5th King of Rome; Tanaquil, Queen of RomeSources for this episode:Appian (1972), Appian's Roman History in Four Volumes (Volume I).

Sarnjit believes great organisations are built on cultures that genuinely care. At Cox Automotive, she shares how psychological safety, active listening and continuous feedback create environments where people can thrive. For Sarnjit, HR isn't simply responsible for culture – every interaction is an opportunity to shape it.  As AI changes the way work gets done, Sarnjit sees technology as a tool to enhance, not replace, human judgement. Drawing on examples from Cox Automotive, she explains why HR leaders must stay deeply connected to the business they support, understanding how work really happens so people strategy creates lasting commercial value.  Growing up with immigrant parents, inclusion has always been personal to Sarnjit. She reflects on how her Sikh heritage has shaped her leadership, and shares Cox Automotive's work to embed inclusion across the organisation, for example to increase female representation. Throughout the conversation, one idea comes through consistently: stay curious, keep learning, and never stop looking beyond your own role.

What happens to tradition, personal identity, and creative freedom when an artist decides to completely rewrite the rules of the musical game in real time?  In this episode of TRUST ME I KNOW WHAT I'M DOING, I sit down with the phenomenal award-winning Indian singer and musician, Rashmeet Kaur. Known widely for her boundary-pushing fluid artistry, Rashmeet has carved out a completely unique sonic footprint by effortlessly bridging centuries-old traditional Punjabi root music with contemporary house, techno, hip-hop, and Afro beats.  Rashmeet pulls back the curtain on her creative philosophy and what keeps her deeply in love with the limitless nature of music. She explains why she actively practices spiritual detachment from her studio work to protect her creative sanity, and why chasing safe commercial "hit records" is a dangerous trap that completely kills artistic experimentation.  We also dive deep into what the modern music industry must urgently unlearn to create safe and empowering spaces for independent creators, the divine raga-driven origin story behind her debut hit "Kahaan," and how she is fiercely connecting with her live audiences to genuinely live in the moment.  Rashmeet shares insights on:• The Power of Detachment: The harsh realities of Bollywood playback singing and why learning to let go of creative attachments anchors her independent career.  • The "Hit Song" Trap: Why she refuses requests for sequels to hits like "Ishq Nachaawe" or "Bajre Da Sitta" in order to keep her artistic intimacy fresh.  • The Divine Roots of "Kahaan": How she channelizes Sarang Raag to build an emotional environment that transforms a deeply personal journey into a live pop community.  • Vocal Cord Preservation: Bouncing between high-energy stage extroversion and entering a strict, isolated "mute mode" to protect her instrument.  • Unlearning the Hustle Trap: Why industry gatekeepers need to stop replicating past hardships and instead build safe, accessible community spaces for the next generation.  Whether you're an aspiring artist trying to navigate the modern digital music landscape, a fan of cutting-edge global fusion, or someone looking to practice deep mindfulness in a hyper-connected world, Rashmeet's masterclass in creative conviction provides an invaluable blueprint.  If you enjoyed this deep dive, please hit that subscribe button, leave a comment, and share this video with someone looking to scale their own vision!  --------------------------Chapters00:00 Introduction and Welcome02:35 Backstage Rituals and Introversion/Extroversion05:29 The Early Training: Learning from the Gurus and Finding Endless Limits07:55 Unlearning Playback Attachments & Finding Independence in Songwriting10:17 What the Music Industry Must Unlearn to Provide Free, Safe Spaces12:11 Escaping the "Hit Song" Trap: Embracing Imperfection and Experimentation15:02 Sponsor Break: Lotus Lane Coffee and Travelopod16:01 Preserving Musical  Intimacy 21:12 Storytelling, On-Stage Comedy, and the Heavy-Light Balance22:46 The "What's Next" Mindset & Reimagining the Kaura Live Sessions23:32 Singing for Her Pets: The Eager Listeners and Longest Companions24:52 Allowing Your Audience to Live in the Moment26:51 Conclusions and Shout Outs

While Elsevier's most recent Clinician of the Future Report shows increasing adoption of artificial intelligence tools among physicians and nurses, and optimism that they will improve quality of care in the future, a majority raised concerns about trust and reliability. To increase the level of trust, 60% said transparent citations of evidence-based and peer-reviewed research will be key. How to provide that transparency is our focus today as Raise the Line host Lindsey Smith welcomes Elsevier colleagues Rhett Alden and Raman Kaur to guide us through the complexities involved, including the concept of traceability and what role it plays in how AI tools such as Elsevier's ClinicalKey AI are built and deployed.  “Traceability changes the confidence that a clinician has in an AI tool so that they aren't trusting the AI, they're trusting the underlying evidence they're consuming from the AI-assisted platform,” says Raman, who brings years of experience as a primary care practitioner to her work.  It's also important, Rhett adds, to provide additional information, pulled from both the clinician's query and the patient's medical record, to inform clinical thinking. “ClinicalKey AI can be more than a response engine by establishing a larger context to provide a more precise answer for that individual patient.” In this thought-provoking discussion, these experts also provide insights on: Mitigating bias in AI results; Using AI responsibly with sustainability in mind; What type of clinician will benefit most from AI Mentioned in this episode: ClinicalKey AI Clinician of the Future Report If you like this podcast, please share it on your social channels.

How did four Indian men in a 1942 garage defeat British monopolies? Discover the hidden strategy behind India's biggest paint empire.In 1942, India's paint market was a colonial franchise.

At the inaugural ACCC Leadership Summit, C-suite executives and senior-level decision makers in oncology convened for strategic dialogue, panel discussions, and peer-to-peer exchange focused on the most pressing issues in cancer care today. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Misha Kaur, chief operating officer at Cureety, about her key takeaways as a member of the panel: Value-Based Care in Oncology: From Pilots to Scale. Kaur discusses the importance of keeping quality and affordability at the heart of value-based care, and how Cureety's remote monitoring solution effectively captures nuanced patient insights in precision oncology care. "[Value-based care] was never meant to be a contract. The original spirit was [about] aligning incentives [and creating] better outcomes for patients. But in practice, over time...it can sometimes become just a contracting discussion [about] targets, benchmarking, reporting, utilization, [and] cost reduction." – Misha Kaur Guest: Misha Kaur Chief Operating Officer Cureety Resources: 2026 ACCC Leadership Summit Innovation, Policy, and Partnership: Key Takeaways From the Inaugural ACCC Leadership Summit From Hospital to Home: A Solution for Proactive Symptom Monitoring and Precise Care Staying Connected Between Visits: A Sustainable Model for Remote Monitoring  

En octobre 2024, Gursimran Kaur, 19 ans, est retrouvée morte dans le four industriel de la boulangerie du Walmart où elle travaille à Halifax, en Nouvelle‑Écosse, après avoir disparu pendant son quart de nuit, ce qui conduit sa mère, collègue de travail ce soir‑là, à découvrir son corps brûlé à l'intérieur du four. Les autorités concluent à l'absence de geste criminel et l'enquête de sécurité au travail confirme que le four fonctionnait normalement, sans défaillance technique, laissant planer le doute entre acte volontaire, accident ou scénario encore inexpliqué. Sa famille, qui a immigré d'Inde pour lui offrir un meilleur futur, refuse l'hypothèse du suicide et se bat publiquement pour obtenir des réponses sur la façon dont elle a pu se retrouver enfermée là et pourquoi aucun système de sécurité ne l'a sauvée, faisant de ce cas un mystère tragique qui hante autant les proches que l'opinion.Voyez le film Undertone de A24, dans une salle québécoise dès le 13 mars 2026!nordvpn.com/distorsion : Rabais exclusif sur ton abonnement + plus 4 mois gratuits!ÉrosEt Compagnie : 15% de rabais avec le code DistorsionPatreon | Site Web | Boutique Hébergé par Acast.

In Tension: Mental Distress and Embodied Inequality in the Western Himalayas (Duke UP, 2026), Dr. Nikita Kaur Simpson examines the effects of rapid development in the Himalayas on the minds and bodies of the Gaddi people who inhabit them through attention to the multifaceted state of distress they call “tension.” This “tension” takes many forms: Kamzori, or weakness, in the bodies of elderly women; “Future tension” accumulating in the minds of young girls; or Opara, or black magic, afflicting whole families. Through her long-term ethnographic fieldwork, Dr. Simpson follows the ways in which Gaddi people tie this distress to broader structural changes, such as land dispossession and caste, class, tribal and gender inequality, which are growing alongside modernity and prosperity. In doing so, she shows how “tension” acts as an everyday diagnostic of the problems of cultural, economic and environmental change as they shape intimate life. At once a lived historical account, a cartography of care relations, and a multi-sensory exploration of the intimate experiences of atmosphere and body, Tension puts forth a novel theory of distress, that inequality is often determined by who is made to feel, hold, and absorb distress. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

What if humanity's future was written 500 years ago?Dr. Amarjit Kaur Doowa didn't set out to challenge the modern world—she was searching ancient scripture for clarity in a time of division, conflict, and spiritual confusion. Why does humanity repeat cycles of fear and separation? Why do sacred teachings become distorted over time? And what if the answers we need have been waiting in plain sight for centuries?In this conversation, Dr. Doowa draws from a 500-year-old sacred text to reveal a message of unity, consciousness, and collective awakening that feels startlingly relevant today. As humanity moves through a profound shift in awareness, this discussion reframes ancient wisdom not as outdated doctrine—but as a living blueprint for healing the world from within.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.Take your spiritual journey to the next level with Next Level Soul TV — our dedicated streaming home for conscious storytelling and soulful transformation.Experience exclusive programs, original series, movies, tv shows, workshops, audiobooks, meditations, and a growing library of inspiring content created to elevate, heal, and awaken.

Prabhleen Kaur: The Art of Coaching Product Owners on What vs. How Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. The Great Product Owner: Master of Stakeholder Relationships and the Power of No "The best PO is the person who has the superpower of saying no, and they can deal with the stakeholders with the same prowess." - Prabhleen Kaur   Prabhleen describes working with a Product Owner who managed multiple stakeholders—not just a handful, but a significant number with competing priorities. What made him exceptional was his deep understanding of each stakeholder's pulse and motivations. He knew when to push back and how to frame the "no" in a way that stakeholders could accept. This wasn't random resistance—it came from thorough preparation manifested in clear roadmaps that made most incoming work predictable for the team.  His user stories stood out for their richness in context: beyond the business requirements, they included information about who would be impacted, which proved invaluable for a team dealing with multiple interconnected systems.  He leveraged JIRA's priority field effectively, ensuring the moment anyone opened the board, they could immediately understand what mattered most. Prabhleen emphasizes that this PO understood his role as the "what" while respecting the team as the "how." By maintaining strong stakeholder relationships built on mutual understanding, he created space for the team to prepare, plan, and deliver without constant firefighting.   Self-reflection Question: Does your Product Owner have the preparation and stakeholder relationships needed to confidently say "no" when priorities compete, or does every request become an emergency? The Bad Product Owner: Technical Experts Who Manage the Sprint Backlog "The PO is the what, and the team is the how. When POs start directing the team about how to do things, the sprint goal gets compromised." - Prabhleen Kaur   Prabhleen addresses a common anti-pattern she's observed repeatedly: Product Owners with technical backgrounds who cross the line from "what" into "how." When POs come from developer or technical roles, their expertise can become a liability if they start prescribing solutions rather than defining problems.  They direct the team on implementation approaches, suggest specific technical solutions in user stories, and effectively manage the sprint backlog instead of focusing on the product backlog. The consequences are predictable: stories keep getting added or removed mid-sprint, the sprint goal becomes meaningless, and the team ends up delivering nothing because focus is constantly shifting.  Prabhleen's solution starts in backlog refinement, where she ensures conversations about technical approaches happen openly with the whole team during estimation. When a PO suggests a specific implementation, she facilitates discussion about alternatives, allowing the team to voice their perspective.  The key insight: everyone comes from a good place—the PO suggests solutions because they believe they're helping. The Scrum Master's role is to create space for the team to own the "how" while helping the PO see the value in stepping back.   Self-reflection Question: When your Product Owner has technical expertise, how do you help them contribute their knowledge without directing the team's implementation choices?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Prabhleen Kaur: When Team Members Raise Concerns with Clarity, Not Anger Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "My idea of success as a Scrum Master is when you look around, you see motivated people, and when something goes wrong, they come to you not in anger, but with concern." - Prabhleen Kaur   Prabhleen offers a refreshing perspective on measuring success as a Scrum Master that goes beyond velocity charts and feature counts. She shares a pivotal moment when her team was in production, delivering relentlessly with barely any time to breathe. A team member approached her—not with frustration or blame—but with thoughtful concern: "This is not going to work out." He sat down with Prabhleen and the Product Owner, explaining that as the middle layer in an API creation team, delays from upstream were creating a cascading problem.  What struck Prabhleen wasn't just the identification of the issue, but how he approached it: with options to discuss, not demands to make. This moment crystallized her definition of success. When team members feel safe enough to voice concerns early, when they come with ideas rather than accusations, when they see themselves as part of the solution rather than victims of circumstances—that's when a Scrum Master has truly succeeded.  Prabhleen reminds us that while stakeholders may focus on features delivered, Scrum Masters should watch how well the team responds to change. That adaptability, rooted in psychological safety and mutual trust, is the true measure of a team's maturity.   Self-reflection Question: When problems emerge in your team, do people approach you with defensive anger or constructive concern? What does that tell you about the psychological safety you've helped create? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Keep-Stop-Happy-Gratitude Prabhleen shares her favorite retrospective format, born from necessity when she joined an established team with dismal participation in their standard three-column retrospectives. She transformed it into a four-column approach: (1) What should we keep doing, (2) What should we stop doing, (3) One thing that will make you happy, and (4) Gratitude for the team. The third column—asking what would make team members happy—opened unexpected doors. Suggestions ranged from team outings to skipping Friday stand-ups, giving Prabhleen real-time insights into team needs without waiting for formal working agreement sessions. The gratitude column proved even more powerful. "Appreciation brings a space where trust is automatically built. When every 15 days you're sitting with the team making a point to say thank you to each other for all the work you've done, everybody feels mutually respected," Prabhleen explains. This ties directly to the trust-building discussed in Tuesday's episode—using retrospectives not just to improve processes, but to strengthen the human connections that make teams resilient.   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Prabhleen Kaur: How AI Is Changing the Way Agile Teams Deliver Value Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "AI's output is not the final output—it's always the two eyes we have that will get us the best results." - Prabhleen Kaur   Prabhleen brings a timely challenge to the coaching conversation: the impact of AI on teams and how Scrum Masters should navigate this transformation. She frames it as both a challenge and an opportunity—teams are now capable of delivering faster than consumers can absorb, fundamentally changing expectations and dynamics.  Prabhleen has observed her teams evolve from uncertainty about AI to confidently leveraging it for practical benefits. Developers use AI for writing and understanding code, particularly helpful for onboarding new team members who need to comprehend existing codebases quickly. QA professionals find AI invaluable for generating test cases based on story and epic context already captured in JIRA.  The next frontier? Agentic AI, where AI systems communicate with each other to produce better outputs. But Prabhleen offers an important caution: AI is learning from many conversations, not all of which are reliable. The human element—critical thinking and verification—remains essential.  For Scrum Masters, this means facilitating conversations about how teams want to experiment with AI, exploring edge cases in testing that AI can help identify, and helping teams navigate the evolving landscape of possibilities while maintaining quality and judgment.   Self-reflection Question: How are you helping your team explore AI as a tool for improvement while ensuring they maintain critical thinking about the outputs AI produces?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Prabhleen Kaur: When Lack of Trust Turns Teams Into Isolated Individuals Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "Teams self-destruct despite best efforts when they lack trust." - Prabhleen Kaur   Prabhleen observed a troubling pattern while shadowing a team: stand-ups had become a register activity where people reported individual status without any connection to the sprint goal. There was no "we" in the conversation—only "I."  The team had experienced a missed deadline due to a PR conflict that wasn't merged in time, but instead of addressing it openly, everyone focused on fixing the immediate problem while avoiding the deeper conversation. The discomfort was never voiced, and resentment accumulated silently.  Prabhleen explains that team destruction is never about one action—it's about the accumulation of unspoken concerns that eventually explode at the worst possible moment. To rebuild trust, she recommends starting with peer reviews that encourage natural collaboration and conversation.  Scrum Masters must be vocal about challenges in front of the entire team, modeling the openness they want to see. For teams that have completely withdrawn, anonymous feedback and scheduled one-on-ones can create safe spaces for honest communication. The key insight? Trust is rebuilt when people realize they will be heard and understood, not judged.   In this segment, we talk about how trust is the foundation of effective teams and how its absence leads to working in silos.   Self-reflection Question: When your team experiences a failure or missed deadline, do you create space for open conversation about what happened, or does everyone quietly move on while resentment builds? Featured Book of the Week: Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time by Jeff Sutherland Prabhleen recommends Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time by Jeff Sutherland as a foundational read for understanding the spirit behind the framework. "When I actually read the book and understood the nuances of rugby and how the team should be, everything started making sense. I grew beyond the Scrum guide, beyond following rules—it's about how the team operates around you as a collective," she explains. Prabhleen also highly recommends Turn the Ship Around by David Marquet, summarizing its core message as "leaders lead leaders." Both books shaped her understanding that frameworks exist to enable collaboration, not to create compliance.

Prabhleen Kaur: Letting Teams Own Their Process Through Working Agreements Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "It's about coaching the team, not teaching them." - Prabhleen Kaur   Prabhleen shares a powerful lesson about the dangers of being too directive with a forming team. When she joined a new team, her enthusiasm and experience led her to immediately introduce best practices, believing she was setting the team up for success. Instead, the team felt burdened by rules they didn't understand the purpose of. The process became about following instructions rather than solving problems together.  It wasn't until her one-on-one conversations with team members that Prabhleen realized the disconnect. She discovered that the team viewed the practices as mandates rather than tools for their benefit. The turning point came when she brought this observation to the retrospective, and together they unlearned what had been imposed.  Now, when Prabhleen joins a new team, she takes a different approach. She first seeks to understand how the team has been functioning, then presents situations as problems to be solved collectively. By asking "How do you want to take this up?" instead of prescribing solutions, she invites team ownership. This shift from teaching to coaching means the team creates their own working agreements, their own definitions of ready and done, and their own communication norms. When people voice solutions themselves, they follow through because they own the outcome.   In this episode, we refer to working agreements and their importance in team formation.   Self-reflection Question: When you join a new team, do you first seek to understand their current ways of working, or do you immediately start suggesting improvements based on your past experience?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

What does it actually mean to heal — and can we heal completely?In this episode of The Art of Authenticity, Laura sits down with Sat Dharam Kaur to explore trauma, identity, and the deeper mechanics of healing. Drawing from her personal history, naturopathic medicine, Kundalini Yoga, and Compassionate Inquiry, she offers a clear and grounded perspective on why suffering persists — and how it can unwind. This conversation looks directly at identification, the mind's role in pain, and what happens when awareness replaces narrative. Together, they examine purpose, healing without self-fixation, and why transformation doesn't require perfection — only presence.
