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:

“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)

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.)

Charlie Angus is making headlines right now calling the US President a “gangster” etc. leading up to the G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta next week, and a lot of Canadians are echoing his call to prevent Trump from coming to Canada. Well, Charlie, you don't have to like Donald Trump, or like that he is there, but Canada simply can't afford to slam the door in his face, either. We have to play the geopolitical chess game. We can't just flip the chessboard when we don't like our opponent. Episode 160 of The Bill Kelly Podcast, Bill discusses the upcoming G7 Summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, focusing on the key players attending, including controversial figures like Donald Trump.

Let's unpack the high stakes and global implications of the upcoming G7 summit. Why was the remote town of Kananaskis, Alberta chosen as the host? What do expected protests tell us about the state of global unrest? And how do leaders like Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelenskyy and India's Narendra Modi fit into the broader conversation of inclusivity and global cooperation? We'll explore Canada's economic crossroads — from the urgent need for diversification to the growing importance of foreign investment from nations like India and Saudi Arabia. But economic growth can't come at the cost of human rights. So how should Canada strike a balance? And with Mark Carney's global experience helping shape the agenda, what can we expect from this pivotal moment on the world stage?In Episode 159 of The Bill Kelly Podcast, Bill discusses the upcoming G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alberta, emphasizing its significance in light of recent global economic challenges. He highlights the importance of inviting leaders from non-member countries like Saudi Arabia, Ukraine and India, and the necessity of addressing human rights concerns while fostering economic partnerships. The conversation also touches on the role of the United States in global economics and the need for Canada to diversify its economic relationships. Prime Minister Mark Carney's leadership is noted as a pivotal factor in shaping the agenda and outcomes of the conference.Become a paid SubStack subscriber or YouTube channel member to hear Bill's personal stories and life lessons from 50+ years as a broadcast journalist in his members-only series, MORAL OF THE STORY: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeUbzckOLocFzNeY1D72iCA/joinDon't forget to like, follow and subscribe across our channels!

Samira Ahmed talks to Twin Peaks' co-creator Mark Frost and podcaster Mike Munser about the show's enduring legacy, 35 years after it began.

Samira also talks to playwright Gurpreet Kaur Bhatti about her new play Marriage Material, which spans decades in the lives of a Sikh family running a corner shop in Wolverhampton.

Sirdar Jassa Singh Ramgarhia (1723-1803) was the founder and most prominent leader of the legendary Ramgarhia Misl, one of the 11 Sikh confederacies that comprised the theocratic Dal Khalsa government. Famed for his realpolitik and strategic acumen, the Ramgarhia Sirdar was instrumental in leading the Panth through some of its darkest days during the genocidal era of the mid-late 18th century.His vision, much like that of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur before him, conflicted with that of his fellow Sirdars sparking heavy discord. After the fall of the Misls, Ramgarhia's image was unnecessarily attacked and vilified by detractors envious of his unprecedented success.We are joined by eminent researcher S. Gurdev Singh Rooprai in dispelling the allegations against Ramgarhia. S. Rooprai traces the genesis of these unfounded allegations and exposes the entrenched hatred of pristine Sikh history among those who slander Jassa Singh Ramgarhia.

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.

Forty-one years ago, the Indian army stormed the sacred Sri Darbar Sahib in Amritsar to suppress the Sikh civil rights movement. The Indian state, subsequently, incited a Sikh genocide thereafter to arrest the fallout from the storming.Fast forward four decades later and Sikhs themselves are abetting their own continuing genocide by intermixing modernist/postmodernist ideologies with Sikhi that erode its religiopolitical base.We are joined by the plain-spoken Nihang Mangal Singh who denounces fractional infighting among Sikhs, pandering to anti-Sikh ideologies, and who identifies the Sikh hunger for moral validation as being the Panth's greatest Achilles heel in the 21st century.This episode is politically incorrect, has its fair share of pejoratives, is scathing in its denouncements of modern Sikh intelligentsia but it also showcases the anger many Sikh youth have towards their own elders who have failed in preserving the Khalsa's sacrosanct image as a warrior-saint rooted in this world.For otherworldly gains, we are betraying the sacrifices our forefathers made in this world for our liberty.Listen and be shocked.Disclaimer: *Disclaimer: views endorsed and voiced by our guests, on various Jathebandis and Sikh figures, are not necessarily our own.

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). Raised in a traditional Muslim Bengali family, Haneet struggled with feelings of disconnection, depression, and fear of judgement when questioning her faith.Everything changed when her husband began coming closer to Sikh teachings, and she first heard the Naam Simran he was listening to. 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:

Gazi Mizanur Rahman's In the Malay World: A Spatial History of a Bengali Transnational Community (Cambridge University Press, 2024) offers the first sustained historical study of Bengali migration to British Malaya from the mid-nineteenth century to the late twentieth. Drawing on archival research in South and Southeast Asia, as well as oral histories and travel accounts, Rahman reconstructs the formation of a transnational Bengali presence that has been largely overlooked in the broader literature on Indian migration. The book argues that Bengali migrants—across class, religion, and occupation—constituted a distinct group within the South Asian diaspora in the Malay world. Colonial administrators often reduced them to the generic category of “Indian,” but Bengalis in Malaya included plantation workers, lascars, domestic servants, professionals, and traders. They moved through varied migration routes and formed diverse community institutions, including mosques, cultural associations, and legal aid networks. Rahman introduces the concept of “space-making” to show how Bengali migrants created social, institutional, and urban spaces that allowed them to adapt and persist in new settings. These spaces were not only material (homes, neighbourhoods, workplaces) but also relational, sustained by kinship ties, religious practice, and civic engagement. Particularly important are the chapters on Bengali medical professionals and maritime labour, which demonstrate how this group contributed to colonial infrastructure while navigating systemic racial and occupational hierarchies. The book also engages with the postcolonial period, tracing the arrival of Bangladeshi workers in the 1980s and 1990s and the new forms of marginality they encountered. These later migrants, often undocumented or temporary, faced challenges similar to those of their predecessors but within different political and economic regimes. Rahman's study challenges the dominant focus on Tamil and Sikh diasporas in Southeast Asia and contributes to a growing body of scholarship that disaggregates the “Indian” category in colonial and postcolonial contexts. It is a methodologically rigorous and empirically rich work that will interest historians of migration, labour, and the Indian Ocean world. Soumyadeep Guha is a third-year graduate student in the History Department at the State University of New York, Binghamton, with research interests in Agrarian History, the History of Science and Technology, and Global History, focusing on 19th and 20th century India. His MA dissertation, War, Science and Survival Technologies: The Politics of Nutrition and Agriculture in Late Colonial India, explored how wartime imperatives shaped scientific and agricultural policy during the Second World War in India. Currently, his working on his PhD dissertation on the histories of rice and its production in late colonial and early post-colonial Bengal, examining the entangled trajectories of agrarian change, scientific knowledge, and state-making.

Are our communities really prepared for modern public safety threats? And what role do accreditation and credentialing play in building resilient fire departments?In this episode of Associations Thrive, host Joanna Pineda interviews Preet Bassi, CEO of the Center for Public Safety Excellence (CPSE). Preet discusses:The reasons fire departments pursue accreditation: to showcase excellence, correct operational failures, or continuously improve.Why CPSE's model works best for medium to large fire departments — big enough to implement a structured management model but small enough to pivot strategically.The challenges faced by rural volunteer fire departments, including lack of resources, equity of service, and training gaps amid increasing environmental and societal threats.The growing importance of fire departments defining and meeting "standards of cover" — performance metrics for different emergency scenarios.CPSE's internal commitment to strategic planning: transitioning from a “fix it” plan to their current “grow it” plan, with a people-first focus.How CPSE manages and celebrates its volunteers, and contractors, whose contributions amount to 28.5 full-time equivalents annually.The launch of the CPSE Center for Innovation, a new subsidiary to support evidence-based decision-making and broaden CPSE's impact in the field.Creation of the CPSE Community Experience to keep departments and credentialed individuals engaged between accreditation cycles.The shift in public safety from public administration to public policy — requiring departments to address homelessness, addiction, mental health, and affordable housing.Preet's Sikh heritage and how the value of seva (selfless service) influences both her career and personal life.References:CPSE WebsiteWhat is Seva?

The Canadian content creator Jasmeet Raina, also known as Jus Reign, is back with Season 2 of “Late Bloomer” — his half-hour comedy series inspired by his own life as a turban-wearing Punjabi Canadian millennial. Jasmeet sits down with Tom Power to talk about the two episodes he wrote and directed this season: one that sheds light on anti-Sikh racism after the Sept. 11 attacks, and one that takes us into the lives of international students in Canada who work as food couriers. If you want to hear more from Jasmeet, search for his 2024 interview with Tom.
