Bhai Mani Singh Ji Shahid (c.?-c.1737) was an eminent 18th century Sikh commander and theologian who captained the Khalsa through the dark days of the post-Banda Singh era genocides. A sagacious diplomat and preacher, he converted thousands to the Sikh fold before being executed by Lahore's Muslim-Hindu combine.This episodes draws upon the detailed works of Bhai Ratan Singh Bhangu in his Sri Gur Panth Prakash (mid-19th century) and Giani Gian Singh in his Shamsher Khalsa (early 20th century) that themselves reiterate primary eyewitness accounts to derive lessons from last days of Bhai Mani Singh the martyr.
A discussion on Bhai Narain Singh's book was organized by Punjab Lawyers at Kendri Sri Guru Singh Sabha, Sector 28, Chandigarh, on 6 July 2025. During the event, Bhai Narain Singh Chaura explained the motivations behind writing his book and firmly dismissed G.B. Sidhu's claims as “false and fabricated propaganda."

The discussion broadly dives into Mr. Singh's background, Sikhism fundamentals, and common misconceptions about the religion. The episode begins with Daniel McCoy introducing the podcast and the topic, followed by Dyron Daughrity sharing his upcoming travel plans related to religious conferences and research. The conversation transitions into discussing Sikhism when Daniel prompts Dyron Daughrity to explain this relatively young religion originating from India. Gajinder Shah Singh shares his personal history, including his journey to the United States in 1971 and his work in Los Angeles. He elaborates on his family's long-standing connection to Sikhism, specifically through the contributions of his forefather to the construction of the Golden Temple. Mr. Singh emphasizes the importance of truth and morality in Sikh teachings and the role of Sikh gurus. The conversation shifts to discuss the similarities and differences between Sikhism and Christianity. Daniel McCoy and Dyron Daughrity note that both religions emphasize a personal relationship with God. However, Christians focus on salvation and faith in Jesus Christ, whereas Sikhs emphasize following the "Five Ks" and living through the teachings in the Guru Granth Sahib. Mr. Singh acknowledges Jesus Christ as a significant religious figure who promoted truth and fought against sin, drawing comparisons to Sikh gurus who also advocated for righteous living. The episode also explores common misconceptions about Sikhs, such as assumptions based on their appearance. Mr. Singh recounts instances of ignorance and highlights the importance of hospitality in Sikh culture. He points out that visiting a Gurdwara (Sikh temple) offers non-Sikhs insight into the Sikh way of life and provides opportunities for building interfaith understanding. Dyron Daughrity further promotes interfaith dialogue by urging listeners to visit local Gurdwaras and experience the welcoming nature and communal meals (langar) provided there. Mr. Singh notes that langar serves practical and symbolic purposes, rooted in agricultural traditions and promoting community and equality. Overall, this episode serves as an enlightening and comprehensive introduction to Sikhism, highlighting the religion's core beliefs, practices, history, and the shared human values of hospitality and truth. The conversation underscores the value of interfaith dialogue and mutual understanding in fostering global harmony.

As recently as 1928, a vast swathe of Asia – India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Burma, Nepal, Bhutan, Yemen, Oman, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain and Kuwait – were bound together under a single imperial banner, an entity known officially as the ‘Indian Empire', or more simply as the Raj. It was the British Empire's crown jewel, a vast dominion stretching from the Red Sea to the jungles of Southeast Asia, home to a quarter of the world's population and encompassing the largest Hindu, Muslim, Sikh and Zoroastrian communities on the planet. Its people used the Indian rupee, were issued passports stamped ‘Indian Empire', and were guarded by armies garrisoned in forts from the Bab el-Mandeb to the Himalayas. And then, in the space of just fifty years, the Indian Empire shattered. Five partitions tore it apart, carving out new nations, redrawing maps, and leaving behind a legacy of war, exile and division. Shattered Lands: Five Partitions and the Making of Modern Asia (William Collins and HarperCollins India, 2025) by Sam Dalrymple, for the first time, presents the whole story of how the Indian Empire was unmade. How a single, sprawling dominion became twelve modern nations. How maps were redrawn in boardrooms and on battlefields, by politicians in London and revolutionaries in Delhi, by kings in remote palaces and soldiers in trenches. Its legacies include civil war in Burma and ongoing insurgencies in Kashmir, Baluchistan and Northeast India, and the Rohingya genocide. It is a history of ambition and betrayal, of forgotten wars and unlikely alliances, of borders carved with ink and fire. And, above all, it is the story of how the map of modern Asia was made. Dalrymple's stunning history is based on deep archival research, previously untranslated private memoirs, and interviews in English, Hindi, Urdu, Bengali, Punjabi, Konyak, Arabic and Burmese. From portraits of the key political players to accounts of those swept up in these wars and mass migrations, Shattered Lands is vivid, compelling, thought-provoking history at its best. 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.

Sikh Jatha Malwa organized a series of Gurmat Samagams from June 1 to 9, 2025, to mark the 41st anniversary of the June 1984 Ghallughara. During one such Samagam held at Kapial village near Bhawanigarh in Sangrur district, Punjab
Veteran historian Dr. Balwant Singh Dhillon returns to the Sikh Renaissance to discuss his latest book on the Hukamnamahs (edicts) of the Sikh Gurus.After almost a near-century, Dr. Dhillon is the first historian to review the extant Hukamnamah manuscripts and recompile them. In this episode he discusses his various findings, what these manuscripts reveal, and the multiple fabrications he identified on his scholarly journey.More importantly, these Hukamnamahs counter the myth of the ninth Sikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur, being a pacifist ascetic meditating his life away until called for Guruship. Contrastingly, they reveal an intelligent statesman and an astute Gurmukh engaged in both political maneuvering and converting the masses to Sikhi.Listen to find out more!
From a 72-hour labor in rural India to the operating room as a nurse anesthesia resident, Taranjeet Rathore's journey is nothing short of extraordinary. Along with Olivia and Kevin, Taranjeet, a nurse anesthesia resident at National University, opens up about the moment that inspired his career in healthcare, the cultural barriers he's worked to overcome, and his mission to represent underserved voices in nurse anesthesiology. Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:
Self-professed Sikh rationalists and western academia have created a myth that the Sikhi of Guru Nanak is inherently different to the Sikhi of his successors, especially Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the Khalsa. In this episode, we refute their argument using Guru Nanak's own words from the Guru Granth Sahib itself.Listen to find out more!
“1984 Lives in Me: 41 Years of Fire & Grace” is a poetic reflection on the enduring impact of the 1984 Ghallughara on Sikh spirit and memory. Blending mysticism, remembrance, and quiet resistance, the piece honors those who preserved sovereignty through silence, devotion, and truth. It does not dwell in sorrow—it rises in presence. It is not a commemoration of loss, but a sacred reawakening to what cannot be silenced, scorched, or forgotten.Read the article: http://social.sikhri.org/1984-lives-in-meFeaturing: Inni Kaur (https://sikhri.org/people/inni-kaur)

Ranvir Singh is a TV news presenter on Good Morning Britain, who I met on the set of ‘Lorraine' about a year ago - and I've been wanting to talk to her in more depth ever since.Ranvir is a single parent to her 13 year old son Tushaan.She grew up in a very religious Sikh household, having lost her Dad when she was only 9. She was the first girl in her family to go to University, and despite pressure to get married as soon as she left Uni, her laser beam focus on her career path remained.Ranvir and I shed some tears as she described the few minutes she would need to take on the driveway after work, before putting her key in the door. And towards the end of our chat, she shared some very emotional advice for any listener who feels themselves overwhelmed, and in that same position now.Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones.

In this episode of Peace Is Here, host Avis Kalfsbeek reflects on The Birth of the Khalsa by Nikky-Guninder Kaur Singh—a groundbreaking work that reimagines Sikh identity through a feminist, peace-centered lens. Drawing from her own journey through compassionate Kundalini yoga and a growing curiosity about women's roles in spiritual traditions, Avis explores how Singh's writing invites us to see the divine as nurturing, liberating, and powerfully maternal. You'll hear a narrated reading of a portion of the book's Introduction and a reflection on why the spiritual wisdom of the Khalsa—often told through masculine frames—may hold transformative potential for peacebuilding today. We also learn about Nikky-Guninder Kaur Singh, whose poetic scholarship opens doors to a more inclusive spiritual imagination. (I am not an affiliate for these products.)

In this Telugu Podcast episode with Major SPS Oberoi, we uncover the real truth behind Indira Gandhi's assassination, the rise of the Khalistani separatist movement, and the complex role of the Sikh community in India's military, history, and politics. From being the backbone of the Indian Army to facing one of the most painful betrayals during Operation Bluestar, the Sikh identity has been both celebrated and challenged.We go deeper into how the partition of India and Pakistan shaped Punjab's volatile history, referencing the emotional and cultural impact seen in works like Train to Pakistan. The demand for a separate Khalistan was not just internal, it was actively supported and funded by elements sheltered in the US, UK, Canada, and Germany, allegedly to apply diplomatic and strategic pressure on India.This episode features firsthand insights from a retired Indian Army veteran, who breaks down how RAW (Research and Analysis Wing) became one of the world's most powerful intelligence agencies. From the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation, 1974 nuclear test, to integrating the Sikh identity into the national fold, RAW's operations have shaped modern Indian geopolitics. You'll learn how agents are trained to control the subconscious mind, why they operate in secrecy, and how a tailor shop in Mumbai served as a secret Israeli embassy. We discuss how agents report directly to the PMO, their finances remain outside scrutiny, and the shocking depth of their missions, including spoiling Turkey's weapons export dreams.We also expose how Pakistan's military works like a corporate empire, supporting terror groups, owning businesses, and manipulating information through information warfare. From Operation Sindhoor to Balakot airstrikes, Abhinandan's capture, and India's strategic mastery in psychological operations, you'll see how India is no longer just defending, but outsmarting.Explore the reality of modern warfare, where no one really wins, and war has become a profitable business. Despite global silence during major Indian operations, the episode questions whether it's time for India to rethink its foreign policy. Why did we not reclaim Kashmir even after Kasab openly admitted Pakistan's involvement in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks? Why is Pakistan still considered a poster boy for US foreign strategy, and why is every Indian victory followed by a forced ceasefire?But this podcast goes beyond geopolitics and strategy. It's an emotional, personal journey. Our guest opens up about the hardest part of army life, sending a fellow soldier's body home. He shares the emotional bond among soldiers, their sacrifices, and the harsh truth that MPs get pensions after a single day in Parliament, while a soldier might not after ten years of service. We talk about how Sikhs continue to dominate military enlistment, driven by their culture, principles, and identity.We also address life after the army, the transition, the struggles, the respect, and the goals that remain unshaken. Currently working as an academic advisor at EKAM, he opens up about UPSC struggles, parenting challenges, and the pressure on middle-class aspirants. You'll hear about real UPSC competition insights, how to learn deeply, the importance of Brahma Muhurtam, and why honesty is a non-negotiable value.From Cambrian Patrol victories in 2021 and 2023 to learning how India honors its war field ethics and handles POWs beyond the Geneva Convention, this episode is packed with value---emotionally, intellectually, and strategically.If you want to understand India's national security, intelligence agencies, military mindset, and the real impact of geopolitics on everyday lives, this episode is unmissable. Whether you're a UPSC aspirant, a patriot, a history buff, or just someone curious about the truth behind headlines, this episode might be your next best guide.

From Islam to Sikhi: Haneet Kaur's Powerful Journey of Faith, Healing & Identity!In this deeply moving episode, we sit down with Haneet Kaur, who shares her powerful story of leaving Islam and embracing Sikhism (Sikhi).

The peace and spiritual connection she felt was unlike anything she had ever experienced in Islam — and it marked the beginning of her journey into Sikhi.In this podcast, Haneet bravely opens up about:
