Mitti! (ਕੱਚੀ ਮਿੱਟੀ!)- Veena Verma | In today's episode, I bring to you a powerful and thought-provoking narration of the Punjabi short story "Kachi Mitti" (ਕੱਚੀ ਮਿੱਟੀ), authored by the legendary Veena Verma. Veena Verma is known for pulling back the curtain on the "glamorous" life of the West, and this story is perhaps one of her most haunting works. It follows the journey of Preety, an international student who travels from rural Punjab to the UK with high hopes and her family's honor on her shoulders. However, the reality of high rents, tuition fees, and lack of jobs pushes her into a dark world of exploitation and survival. Through Preety's character, the story explores the heartbreaking compromises many young girls make just to meet ends. The climax—a choice between a mother's love and the desperate need for legal status—serves as a powerful symbolic representation of the "settlement" dream. Key Themes:The psychological toll of the migration struggle.The reality of exploitation faced by Punjabi students abroad.A deep literary analysis of Veena Verma's characters. I have narrated this story to shed light on the hardships that are often kept hidden from our families back home. I hope this narration makes us reflect on the true cost of settling abroad.

Exciting news - pre-order my debut book https://linktr.ee/HealthySBTH?utm_source=linktree_profile_shareThis week on Live Well Be Well, I'm joined by the extraordinary Dr. Nighat Arif, NHS GP, women's health advocate, author of The Knowledge and the brand new The Family Health Bible, and one of the most courageous voices in medicine today. Dr. Nighat has spent nearly two decades in the NHS holding space for the women the system has failed and she's built an online community of millions by doing exactly what she does in her surgery: speaking honestly, clearly, and without shame about the things nobody else will say.Here's What We Dive Into:- How a dare from Dr. Nighat's sister during lockdown sparked a global conversation about vaginal dryness and why she chose to begin it in Punjabi.- Why perimenopause can begin as early as 38 to 40, and what the research says about Black and Asian women going through this transition two to five years earlier than average.- How medical gaslighting and medical misogyny show up in real consultations including Dr. Nighat's own experiences of being dismissed as a patient, both for PCOS and for lichen sclerosis.- Why Dr. Nighat now recommends that women start moisturising their vulva and vagina from the age of 20, and which ingredients to avoid.- How the vaginal ring works, why it's barely spoken about, and why the seven-day pill break has more to do with the Pope than with medicine.- Why Trump's defunding of women's health research and the framing of female bodies as a "business opportunity" is one of the most urgent issues facing medicine right now.Love,Sarah Ann

In this Punjabi episode, we break down the infamous "Four Stages of Ideological Subversion" as described by KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov and analyze how this exact playbook was used against the Sikh community. From the 1970s onward, foreign intelligence agencies and hostile actors didn't need weapons. They used information warfare to weaken the community from within.We explore each of the four stages, including Demoralization, Destabilization, Crisis, and Normalization. We connect them to real events in Sikh history, the distortion of the Punjabi language, the targeting of youth, and the propaganda spread through media and education. This episode explains how psychological operations and disinformation were used to divide Sikhs, create internal conflict, and ultimately turn the community against itself.Tune in to understand how the battle for the Sikh narrative was fought not on the battlefield, but through the minds of the people. A must listen for anyone interested in Sikh history, media manipulation, and the truth behind the chaos.

Maa! (ਮਾਂ!): Ram Sarup Ankhi | Today we are diving deep into one of the most poignant and emotionally complex Punjabi short stories ever written: "Maa" (Mother) by the legendary Ram Sarup Ankhi. In this video, I break down the compelling journey of Harnek Singh, an educated man who, despite having a family, finds himself utterly alone and seeking an escape from his unhappy city life and incompatible marriage. We follow Harnek back to his village, where he encounters Mindro Bhabi. I analyze the subconscious comparison he makes between his wife and Mindro, and how this dynamic is a reflection of his own deep-seated need for nurturing. The simple, yet profound, act involving two peeled onions is the lightning bolt moment in the story—the moment Mindro transcends being a past crush and becomes a powerful, symbolic mother figure for Harnek. This short story, Maa (Mother) by Ram Sarup Ankhi, is more than just a tale of loneliness; it's a masterful commentary on the search for unconditional love and the enduring presence of maternal affection in our lives. Join me as we explore the powerful symbolism and emotional truths within this classic piece of Punjabi Literature.

Parvinder Singh Chandhok, a fourth-generation Iranian Punjabi, shares his personal insights on the current situation in Iran and the once-thriving Sikh community there. A community, which he says was once numbered nearly 3,000 Sikhs, has now declined to approximately 50 families. He also highlights the challenges faced by the Indian community amid the present conflict, while acknowledging the strong cultural and commercial ties they share with the Iranian people. Expressing cautious optimism, Mr Chandhok hopes for stability and improved conditions in the near future. - ਚੌਥੀ ਪੀੜ੍ਹੀ ਦੇ ਇਰਾਨੀ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਪਰਵਿੰਦਰ ਸਿੰਘ ਚੰਢੋਕ ਨੇ ਇਰਾਨ ਦੀ ਮੌਜੂਦਾ ਸਥਿਤੀ ਅਤੇ ਉੱਥੇ ਦੀ ਕਦੇ ਖੁਸ਼ਹਾਲ ਰਹੀ ਸਿੱਖ ਕੌਮ ਬਾਰੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਅਨੁਭਵ ਸਾਂਝੇ ਕੀਤੇ। ਜੋ ਕਦੇ ਲਗਭਗ 3,000 ਸਿੱਖਾਂ ਦੀ ਕਮਿਊਨਿਟੀ ਸੀ, ਉਹ ਹੁਣ ਘੱਟ ਕੇ ਤਕਰੀਬਨ 50 ਪਰਿਵਾਰਾਂ ਤੱਕ ਰਹਿ ਗਈ ਹੈ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੱਸਿਆ ਕਿ ਮੌਜੂਦਾ ਸਥਿਤੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਇੰਟਰਨੈੱਟ ਸੀਮਿਤ ਹੋਣ ਅਤੇ ਘਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਰਹਿਣ ਦੀ ਸਲਾਹ ਦੇ ਬਾਵਜੂਦ ਗੁਰਦੁਆਰੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਰੋਜ਼ਾਨਾ ਪਾਠ ਤੇ ਅਰਦਾਸ ਜਾਰੀ ਹੈ। ਉਹ ਯੁੱਧ ਕਾਰਨ ਪੈਦਾ ਹੋਏ ਮੌਜੂਦਾ ਹਾਲਾਤਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਜ਼ਿੰਦਗੀ ਬਤੀਤ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਭਾਰਤੀ ਭਾਈਚਾਰੇ ਦੀ ਸਥਿਤੀ ਸਮੇਤ ਇਰਾਨੀਆਂ ਨਾਲ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਮਜ਼ਬੂਤ ਸੱਭਿਆਚਾਰਕ ਅਤੇ ਵਪਾਰਕ ਰਿਸ਼ਤਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਜ਼ਿਕਰ ਕਰਦੇ ਹੋਏ ਉਮੀਦ ਜ਼ਾਹਰ ਕਰਦੇ ਹਨ ਕਿ ਹਾਲਾਤ ਜਲਦੀ ਸੰਭਲਣਗੇ।

There are adults supporting seniors, speaking English to build a comfortable, familiar, somewhat-universal environment for the residents but whom share a world of languages between them outside of those moments, in their breaks and when they're off the clock. There are people who know just a short phrase or song in their ancestral mother language. And our University brings in so many languages too!This is truly a beautiful listen. Not to be missed!There were nearly 50 languages I counted (in addition to English), some languages are similar, some have slightly different names based on the era, and areas in which they're spoken.

This is a focused, source-driven discussion aimed at restoring historical clarity.

Kudrat da Aarhi! (ਕੁਦਰਤ ਦਾ ਆੜੀ!): Jaswant Singh Kanwal | Hello everyone, I'm thrilled to share a deeply moving piece of Punjabi literature with you today: "ਕੁਦਰਤ ਦਾ ਆੜੀ" (Kudrat Da Aari), written by the legendary Jaswant Singh Kanwal. In this narration, I delve into the life of Lal Singh, a truly dedicated Punjabi Jatt farmer. The government officials recognized his immense hard work by allocating him a barren piece of land. Lal Singh didn't just farm it; he served it like his motherland, transforming the sterile ground into a fruitful blessing within just a few years. This story beautifully captures the spiritual connection between a farmer and nature. You will witness Lal Singh's emotional depth when he and his son accidentally disturb a peacock's nest during the harvest. For him, the loss of nature's pace is a greater tragedy than the loss of his crop. He stops the cutting, sacrifices the yield, and diligently cares for the peacock and its eggs until the new chicks are born. It's a powerful lesson in respect and patience. This tale is a profound reflection on environmental consciousness and the moral choice between material gain and a harmonious relationship with the natural world.

This episode argues that the decline of Sikh participation in the Indian Army after 1984 was not accidental but the result of state discrimination, betrayal, and institutional mistrust both pre-and-post-84. Following the 1984 Sikh genocide and Operation Blue Star, Sikh soldiers and officers faced surveillance, sidelining, and humiliation despite generations of unmatched military service. The episode examines how even highly decorated Sikh commanders such as Brigadier Pritam Singh, Lt. Gen. Harbaksh Singh, Lt. Gen. Bikram Singh, Maj. Gen. Shabeg Singh, and Major Baldev Singh Ghuman were mistreated, marginalised, or erased once they no longer fit the state narrative. Through historical evidence and lived reality, this episode explains why many Punjabi Sikh youth consciously withdrew from military service and why the rupture between Sikh faujis and the Indian state remains unresolved.

Dhi-Dhiani! (ਧੀ-ਧਿਆਣੀ!) -Ram Sarup Ankhi | Dear listeners, I am excited to share my narration of a deeply moving Punjabi short story, 'Dhi-Dhiani' (ਧੀ-ਧਿਆਣੀ), by the masterful author Ram Sarup Ankhi. This story captured my heart because it highlights the simple yet profound way human connection is established. It begins innocently—with the protagonist and his wife encountering a nomadic girl 'Gaddiyaan wali', a utensil mender, passing by their home. What should have been a brief moment of bargaining turns into something much more significant. As the conversation unfolded, he realized she carried a piece of our shared heritage, a claimed connection to their native village. That single realization instantly transformed her from a stranger into a kind of kin. The Story's Essence: Witness this beautiful transformation—how a shared sense of 'Pind' identity (ਪਿੰਡ) can instantly break down barriers and foster genuine compassion. It's a powerful reflection on the fluidity of identity for those who live a nomadic life and the deep human need for belonging. If you love classic Punjabi literature, stories rich in Punjabi culture, and narratives that explore the depth of human connection, please listen and share your thoughts in the comments!

The spiritual and spirited sounds of Qawwali music, the Sufi devotional style from Pakistan, go all the way back to the 13th century. And incredibly, the Saami family of Pakistan has kept that tradition going in an unbroken line for almost 800 years. The Saami Brothers belong to the best known Gharana (a system of connection or “house” in Hindustani music) of Qawwali, the Qawwal Bachon Ka Gharana of Delhi, and are the custodians of the traditions of Qawwali and Khayaal of Hazrat Ameer Khusrau and Ustad Taanrus Khan Sahab, (The Aga Khan Museum). The brothers are well-versed in several genres of classical music, such as dhrupad, khayal, tarana, thumria and dadra which they blend during their performances of qawwal and perform in Urdu, Sindhi, Punjabi, Arabic, Hindi, Birj Bhasha, Saraiki and Persian. The Saami Brothers talk about Khayal (a possible translation is “imagination”), which is among the oldest forms of Hindustani vocal improvisation, passed carefully from master to student, generation to generation, (Northwest Asian Weekly). 'Qawwali', Arabic for "utterance", refers to the devotional music of the Sufis, the mystics of the Islamic religion. The term includes both the medium and its performance (Real World). The Saami Brothers perform both Qawwali and Khayaal, in-studio.Set list: 1. Sufi Dhikr in Raag Bhario'n: Allahu-Allahu 2.

Kulfi! (ਕੁਲਫੀ!)- Principal Sujan Singh | Welcome, dear listeners! I am truly honored to share my narration of one of the most powerful and moving stories in classic Punjabi literature: 'Kulfi' (ਕੁਲਫੀ), penned by the legendary Principal Sujaan Singh. This is more than just a Punjabi Kahani; it is a raw, emotional mirror reflecting the struggles of the middle class. I was deeply moved while recording the tale of the working father, whose salary runs dry too quickly, leaving him unable to afford a simple treat for his innocent son, 'Kaka.' The shame and regret he feels, leading him to avoid his own home just to escape the simple demand for Kulfi, is heartbreakingly relatable. The core of this story, for me, lies in the intense theme of Poverty and Self-Respect. When Kaka finally acts, he forces his father to confront his own lack of courage. It's an unforgettable climax that gives profound meaning to the final, revolutionary line: "A brave son has taken birth at the home of a coward." I encourage you to listen to this entire story and reflect on your own struggles with dignity and circumstance.The cover art of this audiobook has been made by Artist Gurdish Pannu and Dr. Ruminder has given voice to this Punjabi short story.#newpunjabistory #newpunjabistoryaudio #punjabikahani #listenpunjabikahani #punjabistorynew #punjabshortstories #punjabishortkahani #punjabikahaniyan #punjabimoral stories #NewPunjabiaudiobooks #newpunjabikahani #interestingpunjabistories #punjabiaudiobooks #famouspunjabi stories #punjabikahani #punjabishortkahani #verygoodpunjabikahani # punjabiaudiokahani #punjabistoriesnew #navipunjabikahani #punjabinewstory #audiostorypunjabi #moralstoriespunjabi

"This is Jalandhar centre of All India Radio.” For many Punjabis, this familiar phrase was a staple of 1990s radio. This World Radio Day, SBS Punjabi connects with the voice behind that iconic introduction: Amardeep Kaur. Now a prominent figure in the Australian Punjabi community, Amardeep was seeking a sense of home when she joined Harman Radio, one of Australia's first private 24/7 Punjabi-language stations. With over a decade on Australian airwaves and a radio career that began in 1997, Amardeep shares her inspiring story in this podcast with SBS Punjabi. - 1997 ਵਿੱਚ ਆਲ ਇੰਡੀਆ ਰੇਡੀਓ, ਜਲੰਧਰ ਤੋਂ ਆਪਣਾ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਰਣ ਸਫਰ ਸ਼ੁਰੂ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲੇ ਅਮਰਦੀਪ ਕੌਰ ਪਿਛਲੇ ਦਸ ਤੋਂ ਵੀ ਜਿਆਦਾ ਸਾਲਾਂ ਤੋਂ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਆ ਵਿੱਚ ਰੇਡੀਓ ਪੇਸ਼ਕਾਰੀ ਨਾਲ ਸਰਗਰਮ ਤੌਰ ‘ਤੇ ਜੁੜੇ ਹੋਏ ਹਨ। ਵਿਸ਼ਵ ਰੇਡੀਓ ਦਿਵਸ ਦੇ ਮੌਕੇ ‘ਤੇ ਐਸ ਬੀ ਐਸ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਨੇ ਅਮਰਦੀਪ ਨਾਲ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਇਸ ਰੋਮਾਂਚਕ ਸਫਰ, ਰੇਡੀਓ ਮਾਧਿਅਮ ਵਿੱਚ ਆਏ ਤਕਨੀਕੀ ਅਤੇ ਸਮਾਜਿਕ ਬਦਲਾਵਾਂ, ਅਤੇ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਆ ਵਿੱਚ ਇਸ ਖੇਤਰ ਦੀਆਂ ਚੁਣੌਤੀਆਂ ਬਾਰੇ ਵਿਸਥਾਰ ਨਾਲ ਗੱਲਬਾਤ ਕੀਤੀ, ਜੋ ਇਸ ਪੌਡਕਾਸਟ ਰਾਹੀਂ ਸੁਣੀ ਜਾ ਸਕਦੀ ਹੈ।

In this episode, we examine the Wadda Ghalughara (1762) using primary historical accounts to uncover a reality often omitted from mainstream narratives. During one of the most devastating genocidal episodes in Sikh history, Hindu and Muslim power structures, mercenary forces, and local collaborators aligned against the Sikhs, enabling Ahmad Shah Abdali's campaign of mass violence.This episode directly addresses the modern political claim that Sikhs should align with Hindutva, responding to the assertions of Bhagat Singh Doabi. Through historical evidence drawn from Persian chronicles, Sikh sources, and regional records, the discussion demonstrates how religious proximity did not shield Sikhs from persecution and how survival depended on resistance rather than ideological assimilation.Key topics explored include:How Hindu and Muslim forces coordinated against Sikhs during the Wadda GhalugharaThe role of local elites, informants, and auxiliary troopsWhy Sikh persecution cannot be reduced to a Muslim-only conflictHow history is selectively reframed to advance contemporary political agendasWhy Sikh sovereignty, not political alignment, ensured community survivalThis episode is essential listening for those interested in Sikh history, Wadda Ghalughara, Ahmad Shah Abdali, Hindutva debates, Mughal-era violence, and the politicization of historical memory.History does not change to suit ideology. It records what happened.

ChatGPT butchers Punjabi with spelling errors and Bollywood-style Hindi bleeding through. Hindi bots trained on newspapers miss dialects like Awadhi and Bhojpuri entirely, while Tamil AI ignores the rich variations between Kongu and Madurai speech.Sure, Gurugram collected ₹200 crore in taxes using Hindi AI calls, but that's because Hindi dominates datasets. Most other languages remain stuck in translation hell. Private companies optimize for speed over nuance, government corpora like Bhashini sit underused, and multimodal data that captures tone and emotion is too expensive to build.The result? AI is flattening India's 780 languages into sanitized, standardized versions that erase the very dialects it claims to serve.Read the newsletter here.

Fifth-generation Australian-Punjabi Manmeet Bedi traced his family's migration journey from Punjab to Queensland, uncovering a history spanning more than a century. What began as a personal search for records evolved into a deeper understanding of his roots and identity. This inspired him to pen a children's book titled 'Where the Mustard Fields Meet the Southern Cross', which he says will preserve this legacy for future generations. - ਮੈਲਬਰਨ ਨਿਵਾਸੀ ਮਨਮੀਤ ਬੇਦੀ ਆਪਣੇ ਨਾਨਾ ਜੀ ਤੇਜਾ ਸਿੰਘ ਦੀ ਉਸ ਯਾਤਰਾ ਨਾਲ ਜਾਣੂ ਸਨ, ਜੋ 79 ਸਾਲ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਤੋਂ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਆ ਆਏ ਸਨ। ਪਰ ਨਾਨਾ ਜੀ ਤੋਂ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਆ ਪਹੁੰਚੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਪੁਰਖਿਆਂ ਦਾ ਇਤਿਹਾਸ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਲਈ ਇੱਕ ਅਣਛੁਹਿਆ ਪੰਨਾ ਸੀ। ਪੁਰਾਣੀਆਂ ਯਾਦਾਂ, ਕੁਝ ਚਿੱਠੀਆਂ ਅਤੇ ਆਰਟੀਫ਼ੀਸ਼ਲ ਇੰਟੈਲੀਜੈਂਸ (ਏਆਈ) ਦੀ ਮਦਦ ਨਾਲ ਮਨਮੀਤ ਨੇ ਲਗਭਗ 140 ਸਾਲ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਆਸਟ੍ਰੇਲੀਆ ਆਏ ਆਪਣੇ ਪੁਰਖਿਆਂ ਦੀ ਕਹਾਣੀ ਨੂੰ ਦੁਬਾਰਾ ਸੁਰਜੀਤ ਕੀਤਾ ਹੈ। ਇਸ ਇਤਿਹਾਸ ਨੂੰ ਸੰਭਾਲਣ ਅਤੇ ਅਗਲੀਆਂ ਪੀੜ੍ਹੀਆਂ ਤੱਕ ਆਸਾਨ ਢੰਗ ਨਾਲ ਪਹੁੰਚਾਉਣ ਲਈ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੇ ਬੱਚਿਆਂ ਲਈ ਇੱਕ ਕਹਾਣੀ ਪੁਸਤਕ ਵੀ ਤਿਆਰ ਕੀਤੀ ਹੈ।

A critical examination of Sikh history from 1947 to 1984 and beyond, exploring how Hindu, Muslim, and Christian political interests have often been prioritised over Sikh rights. This episode analyses Partition, state power, resistance, and the principle that Sikh political survival has historically depended on Sikhs themselves. It also examines the contested legacy of Amarjit Singh Daheru, his training under the elder generation of the Nirban Khalsa Jatha, and historical claims surrounding the early ideological and military formation of Babbar Khalsa within broader struggles over Punjab's political future between India and Pakistan.

Badalaan de ohle da Suraj- Balwant Phalwari | ਬੱਦਲਾਂ ਦੇ ਓਹਲੇ ਦਾ ਸੂਰਜ!- ਬਲਵੰਤ ਫ਼ਰਵਾਲੀ | A daughter's illness, a father's pain, and a crisis of faith... This compelling short story by Balwant Phulwari follows the life of Comrade Gurmeet Singh, a staunch communist and socialist whose principles were forged in his university days. He champions logic, equality, and rational thought. Yet, a desperate situation—his daughter Neha's mysterious declining health—forces him into a setting he despises: the religious gathering (Dera) of Baba Phuman. Gurmeet finds himself sitting among the devotees, silently pitying their blind faith, even as he hopes the 'Baba' might cure his child. The arrival of local politicians underscores the very hypocrisy he fights against. Will he sacrifice his lifelong atheist beliefs for the chance of a miracle? What happens when it is his turn to bring Neha forward for blessings? An unexpected event occurs at the Dera that reaffirms Gurmeet's socialist ideology and changes the course of the day. This is a deep dive into the conflict between Superstition vs. Logic and the idealism of communism versus the harsh realities of modern Punjabi society.

Davedaar!- Dalbir Chetan | ਦਾਅਵੇਦਾਰ! - ਦਲਬੀਰ ਚੇਤਨ | A father's legacy is often a bridge, but for Jawala Singh and his sons, it became a battleground. In a bid to maintain peace, Jawala Singh decides to partition his entire ancestral estate. Every son agrees with love—until the discussion turns to the one, non-negotiable family asset: the ancestral sword. More than a relic, this blade is the family's soul, stained with the blood of six sacrifices made for honor. When two sons stake their "davedari" (claim) to the sacred sword, the legendary weapon suddenly becomes the epicentre of a silent war. To settle the matter, the patriarch Jawala Singh reveals a truth the family never knew: The story of the seventh murder. What unsung act of sacrifice or betrayal lies hidden in the sword's past? Listen to Dalbir Chetan's gripping short story, Davedar, to discover the secret that changes everything.
