In this week's Urdunama, we remember Dharmendra not only as Bollywood's "Greek-God" hero but essentially as a man defined by two qualities - Pur-kashish (full of charm) and Shaista-mizaaj (gentle in nature). From humble beginnings in Punjab to a stunning, record 300 plus film-career, he was a man in love with Urdu zabaan. Join us for a brief tribute to a star whose charm and grace remain unforgettable.

This week's quiz: On 25 October, just days after the famous theft of the French crown jewels from the Louvre, I asked you a question about another famous theft from the Louvre. You were to re-read our article “Paris police hunt Louvre thieves after priceless jewels vanish in daring heist”, and send in the answers to these three questions: Which artwork was stolen from the Louvre in 1911, and by whom? How did he do it? The answers are, to quote our article: “In 1911, the Mona Lisa famously vanished from its frame, spirited away by Vincenzo Peruggia, a former museum employee who hid overnight in a broom cupboard and simply walked out with the painting under his coat.” Interesting fun fact, also in our article: The Mona Lisa at that time was not a famous painting at all. Because the theft made global headlines, when it was recovered two years later in Florence, it had become the most famous painting in the world. In addition to the quiz question, there was the bonus question: What “Instant Karma” incident have you been involved in?   Do you have a bonus question idea? Send it to us!

In this powerful episode of Sant Attar Singh Ji Jeevan Katha (Audio Book), we listen to some special sakhiyaan (true incidents) from Sant Attar Singh Ji Mastuane Wale's life — moments that reveal his deep vairag (detachment), intense tapasya (spiritual discipline), and divine love (prem).After adopting the simple attire of a saint, Sant Ji begins his meditation by the banks of the sacred Godavari River, standing knee-deep in its waters for eight days, living only on the grace of Naam. These sakhiyaan show how his life became a living example of devotion, humility, and complete surrender to Waheguru.

Heartland Masala: An Indian Cookbook from an American Kitchen Presented by Jyoti Mukharji and Auyon Mukharji Come join us as a mother and son duo talk about the historical and cultural context of traditional and diasporic Indian recipes. They will base their talk on their new book, Heartland Masala: An Indian Cookbook from an American Kitchen. Cooking instructor Jyoti Mukharji chose 99 of her favorite recipes to build the core of Heartland Masala. Her recipes hail from throughout India, with a special emphasis on the cuisines of Punjab and Bengal. To complement his mother's recipes and recollections, culinary historian Auyon Mukharji offers a generous helping of culturally focused vignettes. Auyon writes: “The Hindustani word masala, which translates to ‘spice mixture, feels an appropriate metaphor for not only the multifaceted and diasporic quality of my mother's cooking, but also for the twists and turns of history that landed a daughter of Punjab here in the American heartland.” “The history of Indian cooking is theIndiana cooking” he continues. “The cuisine itself is in constant flux, both within and beyond India's national borders. Any attempt to pin it down is merely a record of a moment and place.” https://www.heartlandmasala.com/ https://heartlandmasala.substack.com/ Biographies Jyoti Mukharji is a chef, teacher, and retired physician. She immigrated to the US from India in the late 1970s, and began teaching weekly Indian cooking classes out of her home in Prairie Village, Kansas, in 2010. Jyoti has since welcomed several thousand students into her kitchen. Auyon Mukharji is a musician, writer, and culinary historian who spends most of his time thinking about food. He studied biology at Williams College and was awarded a Watson Fellowship in 2007 to study self-expression in folk music. Since 2009, Auyon has toured with, and cooked for, the indie-folk band Darlingside. He otherwise finds time to work in and around kitchens (and farms) in both his hometown of Kansas City and his adopted state-of-residence of Massachusetts.

Era la noche del 23 de diciembre de 2005, la víspera de lo que debiera haber sido «Nochebuena» en la aldea de Gaggo Mandi en la provincia oriental de Punjab en Pakistán. A Rehmat Bibi, esposa del obrero Nazir Ahmed de cuarenta años de edad, la despertó un grito. Al abrir los ojos, vio algo indescriptible: ¡su esposo acababa de taparle la boca a su hija Muqadas, de veinticinco años, y estaba cortándole el cuello con un machete! Acto seguido, Bibi observó horrorizada cómo su esposo mataba del mismo modo a sus otras tres hijas —Bano, de ocho años; Sumaira, de siete; y Humaira, de cuatro— deteniéndose entre matanza y matanza sólo para blandirle el machete a ella, advirtiéndole que no se metiera ni gritara. «Yo estaba temblando de miedo; no sabía cómo salvar a mis hijas —relató Bibi, posteriormente, entre sollozos—. Le rogué a mi esposo que no las matara, pero él dijo: “¡Si haces el menor ruido, te mato!” Toda esa noche la tuve que pasar frente a los cuerpos de mis hijas.» Por su parte, Ahmed, que no fue arrestado hasta la mañana siguiente, no mostró ninguna señal de arrepentimiento. Por el contrario, declaró que había comprado un cuchillo de carnicero y un machete después de las oraciones del mediodía ese viernes, y los había escondido en la casa, y que mató a su hijastra Muqadas porque ella había cometido adulterio. En cuanto a sus propias hijas, dijo: «Yo pensé que las niñas harían lo mismo que había hecho su hermana mayor, así que debían ser eliminadas.» Y añadió: «Nosotros somos pobres, y no tenemos nada más que salvar que nuestro honor.» Para colmo de males, Ahmed manifestó: «Me gustaría tener la oportunidad de eliminar al joven con el que ella se escapó, y prenderle fuego a su casa.»1 Eso sí que a Ahmed le pudo haber resultado difícil o imposible lograrlo, ya que él había creído, sin necesidad de pruebas, la acusación de adulterio de parte del esposo de Muqadas, mientras que los que conocían el caso alegaban que la pobre mujer había huido de su esposo porque él la había maltratado y la había obligado a trabajar en una fábrica haciendo ladrillos. Lo cierto es que el tal adúltero, presunto amante de la víctima, no apareció por ninguna parte. Muqadas era la hija que le había dado a Bibi su primer esposo, hermano de Ahmed, que había muerto hacía catorce años. Ahmed se había casado con la viuda de su hermano, como se acostumbra en la tradición musulmana. ¡Qué triste que en esa tradición no se siga la enseñanza de San Pedro! Con eso nada más, se hubiera evitado semejante tragedia. Pues el venerado apóstol, luego de decirles a las mujeres que se sometan a sus esposos, les dice a los hombres que sean considerados con sus esposas, tratándolas con honor y con la delicadeza que les hace falta, como coherederas del don de la vida. Y en cuanto a sus relaciones con los demás, les dice que sean compasivos y humildes, y que no devuelvan mal por mal, sino que busquen la paz y la sigan. De lo contrario, será en vano que eleven a Dios sus oraciones.2 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 «Pakistani slays daughters to salvage “honor”» (Pakistaní mata a hijas para salvar «el honor»), MSNBC World News, 28 diciembre 2005 (Associated Press) En línea 9 marzo 2006. 2 1P 3:1,7‑11

Welcome to another explosive and deeply insightful episode of the Kaka Balli Punjabi Podcast, the No.1 destination for raw, unfiltered, and intelligent Punjabi conversations. In today's episode, I am joined by Ajaydeep Singh Dhaliwal and Ajeet Chahal for a marathon-level discussion that digs into the past, present, and future of Panjab University, Chandigarh, and Punjab as a whole. This episode is loaded with history, politics, strategy, power struggles, and big questions about what lies ahead for Punjab.We begin by exploring the History of Panjab University — how it was established, why it became a cultural and intellectual hub of North India, and how the partition of 1947, Chandigarh's creation, and administrative shifts shaped its identity over the decades. We dive into the roots of the university's prestige and why generations of Punjabis treat it as the academic heartbeat of the region.From there, we analyze the current issues and student protests at Panjab University. We discuss what actually triggered these protests, why fees and funding have been long-standing concerns, how administrative decisions are affecting students and faculty, and why tensions have escalated so dramatically in recent years.A major portion of this episode focuses on Panjab University vs Chandigarh — the ongoing debate about jurisdiction, control, and governance. We break down why this conflict exists, why Chandigarh's status matters, and how political tug-of-war between Punjab and Haryana has complicated the future of the university.We also discuss concerns about Intellectual Capture by the RSS inside the university ecosystem — what it means, what examples people point to, and how ideological shifts in major institutions might influence the academic atmosphere, policymaking, and Punjab's cultural narrative. We talk openly about how such influence, if true, could reshape the next generation of Punjabi identity, scholarship, and critical thought.From there, we examine the Punjab government's failure to resolve long-standing issues of Panjab University. Why haven't multiple governments — regardless of political party — taken clear action? Why is there inconsistency in policy? Why is education often ignored until crisis hits? We discuss the political negligence, mismanagement, and power games that keep students stuck in uncertainty.The conversation then turns to a tough question: Is the High Court compromised or influenced by the central government? We talk about the perception, the concerns people raise, how court decisions impact the PU-Chandigarh debate, and why the judiciary's role is becoming more debated in Punjab's political landscape.We move into the Senate issue of Panjab University — the delays, the controversies, the fight for representation, and how Senate decisions impact course structures, faculty appointments, and overall governance. We highlight why students and professors see this as a battle for the soul of the university.Another major topic is the importance of Chandigarh — not just as a city, but as the shared capital of Punjab and Haryana, a union territory, a strategic administrative hub, and a symbol of political power. We explain why Chandigarh is always at the center of disputes and how its control directly affects Panjab University.We also discuss the introduction of a Course in Punjab about the Vedic Period. Is this a positive step for historical education? Or an ideological push? We break down both sides: the value of studying ancient history, and the fear that some courses may present a political narrative rather than unbiased academic content.The episode also highlights the importance of agriculture in the future of Punjab. With global food crises, climate changes, and technological shifts, we discuss why farming remains vital, how Punjab can become a global agricultural powerhouse again, and what reforms are needed to protect farmers, water resources, and crop diversity.

First, we speak to The Indian Express' Rinku Ghosh who talks about how air pollution affects two of the most vulnerable groups: newborn babies and pregnant women.Next, The Indian Express' Parul Kulshresthe discusses Rajasthan's move to roll back its decades-old two child rule for local elections, and why women rights groups in the state are critical of the move. (14:45)Lastly, we take a look at Punjab where the police have busted a Pakistan backed grenade attack module operating out of Ludhiana.

In this soulful episode of Sant Attar Singh Ji Jeevan Katha (Audio Book), we journey with Sant Attar Singh Ji Mastuane Wale towards the holy land of Takht Sri Hazur Sahib — a pilgrimage filled with divine longing, humility, and the unbroken rhythm of Naam Simran.Through Bhai Jodh Singh Ji's experiences and Sant Ji's unwavering devotion, this chapter brings alive the spiritual intensity of walking to Hazur Sahib by foot, the miracles witnessed on the way, and the deep state of Vairaag (detachment) that blossoms through love for the Guru.

In today's episode, I'm pleased to welcome mother–son cookbook author team Jyoti and Auyon Mukharji, authors of Heartland Masala: An Indian Cookbook from an American Kitchen. Before we dive in: If you are ready to start your own cookbook project with clarity and direction, The Creative Cookbook Blueprint is available for a few more days. This resource provides a structured path to begin organizing your recipes, shaping your stories, and moving toward a publishable cookbook. Details are linked in the show notes section below. Heartland Masala is a vibrant, richly illustrated celebration of Indian home cooking, written from the heart of the American Midwest. Rooted in both tradition and diaspora, the book blends recipes from Punjab, Bengal, and throughout India with the lived experience of a family that has called Kansas City home for decades. In this conversation, we explore: Inspiration — How Heartland Masala was born from years of Joyti teaching, family heritage, and the desire to preserve Indian home cooking in a Midwestern context. Process — Their collaborative mother–son workflow, recipe testing, adapting regional dishes, and shaping the book's structure. Storytelling — Why they included essays, cultural notes, culinary history, memories, and narrative elements to deepen the reader's connection to Indian food. Legacy & Impact — What they learned from writing across generations and what they hope the book will contribute to readers, family, and culture. The book features beloved classics such as Saag Paneer and Vindaloo, lesser-known gems like Bengali Murgh Rezala and Anglo-Indian Spiced Liver Toast, as well as inventive new creations, including Masala Brussels Sprouts and Spiced Watermelon. Jyoti and Auyon even include a handful of cocktail recipes, adding a playful touch to the collection. Their work is a testament to the richness of Indian cuisine, the power of family collaboration, and the vibrant interplay between heritage and place.

Punjab Government Ki Taraf Se Imamon Kay Liye Tankhaein | Mufti Tariq Masood Speeches

In this episode we explore the aftermath of Banda Singh Bahadur's martyrdom and the Khalsa's response in 1724. Discover how non-Punjabi Sikhs traveled to Punjab to stand alongside their Punjabi Sikh brothers in a powerful show of unity. We debunk the Mughal propaganda that falsely labeled Banda Singh as a traitor and examine how Muslims and the Sanataan Vedic Hindu Khatris fabricated the myth that he claimed to be Guru—a deliberate strategy to fracture the Sikh community. Learn how the Khalsa saw through these divisive tactics and united to avenge their fallen leader, demonstrating the resilience and solidarity that defined this crucial period in Sikh history.

Since late June, unusually heavy monsoon rains have hit northern India and Pakistan, killing hundreds of people. The worst-hit province is Punjab, where nearly 4 million people have been displaced.

It's Tuesday, September 2nd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Pakistani Muslim kidnapped 16-year-old Christian girl Pakistan is in the persecution news again. This time for a 16-year-old Christian girl kidnapped and forced into sex slavery by a Muslim in the Punjab district. She was rescued by court order on August 14th. This is just one of thousands of these cases occurring each year, where girls and women are kidnapped and forced into conversions, marriages, and prostitution. Pakistan is the seventh worst nation in the world on The Worldview's International Morality Index, and the eighth worst on Open Doors' World Watch List. Finnish politician tried third time for condemning perversion A Finnish Member of Parliament, Päivi Räsänen, is back in court this month, after already being acquitted twice for the so-called hate crime of calling homosexual relationships “sinful.” Räsänen has been charged with “agitation against a minority group” under the Finnish criminal code addressing “war crimes and crimes against humanity.” She's been under attack for seven years. This time the prosecutor is taking the case to Finland's Supreme Court. Afghanistan earthquake claims 800 lives In God's providence, Afghanistan has been hit by a third major earthquake since the Taliban took over, reports Reuters. This has claimed 800 lives and wounded 2,800 more, mostly in the Kunar Province. The 2022 quake killed over 1,000 people and the 2023 quake killed over 2,000 people. Russia's Putin, India's Modi and China's Jinping met in summit The new Axis power base was further solidified yesterday in a meeting which took place in Tianjin, China, with the presidents of China, India, and Russia — Presidents Xi Jinping, Narendra Modi, and Vladimir Putin. This was Modi's first visit to China in seven years. Modi expressed his desire to Putin that the two nations deepen cooperation “in all sectors.”  The meeting of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization boasts “the world's largest regional organization” including nations with a combined economic output of nearly $30 trillion. That's just over the United States' annual Gross Domestic Product. Russia's Putin called the alliance the beginnings of a “new system” of security in Eurasia.  The Shanghai Cooperation Organization consists of the communist, Hindu, and Islamic states of Russia, Belarus, China, India, Iran, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. Chinese Navy boasts more warships than America The BBC reports that the Chinese Navy has exceeded America's Navy in number of warships -- 234 to 219. However, the Chinese are still behind the United States in overall tonnage and aircraft carriers.  Importantly, the Chinese shipyards have upwards of 200 times the ship-building capacity of America at this point. Brazilian socialists want to lock up Jair Bolsonaro Socialist elements in the Brazilian government are looking at locking up the nation's previous president Jair Bolsonaro for 30 years. Bolsonaro is accused of staging a coup after disagreeing with the election results in January of 2023.   The Associated Press reports that the evidence includes “an unsigned document that sought to invalidate the election and his alleged push for supporters to destroy government buildings in Brasilia on January 8, 2023.”  Low Scottish birth rate Scotland's birth rate is the lowest on record — hitting 1.23 children per woman. The nation's abortion rate is 17.9 per 1,000 women. Out of 50 countries, that's the fifth lowest birth rate in Europe. Only Malta, Spain, Lithuania, and Italy have lower birth rates.  Deuteronomy 7:12 and 14a makes a promise to a nation. “Because you listen to these judgments, and keep and do them. …You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be a male or female barren among you or among your livestock.” Not so much for Scotland. Vice President JD Vance defends prayer U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance defended prayer as a proper response to the recent massacre at the Minneapolis, Minnesota Catholic School. His X post explained that, “We pray because our hearts are broken. We pray because we know God listens. We pray because we know that God works in mysterious ways, and can inspire us to further action.” Vance was responding to Jen Psaki, Joe Biden's previous press secretary, who skeptically asserted that “Prayer is not freaking enough. Prayers does [sic] not end school shootings. Prayers do not make parents feel safe sending their kids to school. Prayer does not bring these kids back.” In addition to Vice President Vance, CNN's conservative commentator Scott Jennings defended prayer as well. Listen. JENNINGS: “I think it's wrong, frankly, to vilify or attack people of faith. I think ‘thoughts and prayers' are the most solid on days of tragedy for people who live their faith every day. And I think on a day like today, particularly in a church community, there are probably people praying harder for comfort today than they have ever prayed in their life. “And I heard others on the Left today go down this line of attack against people of faith, sort of denigrating the idea that they might want to pray today.” Proverbs 28:9 reminds us that “If one turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.” And Proverbs 15:29 says, “The LORD is far from the wicked, but He hears the prayer of the righteous.” Chip and Joanna Gaines roll out “LGBTQ roller skating show” The reality show pop-star couple and known-to- be professing Christians, Chip Gaines and his wife, Joanna, are under fire again. This time, they are producing a program on their Magnolia Network featuring what has been termed “an LGBTQ+ roller skating reality show” called “Roller Jam.” Joanna Gaines called it “a show the whole family can watch together,” according to Protestia and FaithWire.  Office mortgages hit record 11.7% delinquency rate In economic news, delinquency rates on office mortgages in the United States have hit a record 11.7%, exceeding the last record set during the 2008 recession. That delinquency rate was only 1.6% just two years ago. Silver and gold keep climbing According to TradingView.com, silver surged to $40.76 per ounce and gold hit $3,475 per ounce on Monday — record highs for the metals. Married mothers happier than childless single women And finally, no surprise here. The Institute for Family Studies surveyed 3,000 women and found that married mothers were more likely to enjoy life.   The report documented that 47% of married mothers say their lives are enjoyable most or all the time, compared to 34% of unmarried, childless women who say the same thing. Psalm 127:3 says, “Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from Him.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, September 2nd, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Thailand's prime minister has been removed by the constitutional court, plunging politics into turmoil and dealing a blow to Thailand's most powerful political dynasty.
