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.

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.

Our continuation of our Four Part Series of Episode 22: Care for Others, Charity or Commandment?The difficulty to be faithful to our Faith CommitmentsWhat is wrong with you? Have you lost the entire point of this? Our panelists talk about the difficulty of being faithful to our ethical commitments. Do we judge others more harshly than we judge ourselves? Dr. Hibbard points out that part of why Nietche rejected Christianity was that he found that Christianity was too difficult to live up to for him. A commitment to the Divine commandments cannot necessarily be easy, while at the same time we must also keep in mind our personal human needs. Dr. Hibbard says that Christians are in tension with the most challenging demands of the Christian ethic and at the same time we need to keep in mind what human flourishing requires. Ethical ideals are always somewhat unattainable. Rabbi Klein responds to that tension by pointing out that If your faith commitment only makes you feel good about yourself, then what good is that to anybody else? Raman Singh helps the panel look at the selfless serving of the langar meal by Sikhs and they consider what this can teach all of us?Music by BenSound.comMusic by BenSound.com

Hindus have long whitewashed Shivaji as a paragon of ethics while demeaning the tenth Guru. The reality is very different. Today, as Sikhs push back against Hindu imposition, the Guru is insulted and disparaged both academically and on social media. Yet their own hero Shivaji was once the fiercest nemesis of their people, a vassal of Muslim states who even begged Aurangzeb for the same privilege. Guru Gobind Singh Ji stood higher than any patriot, teaching the oppressed to stand up for themselves without ever compromising on their dignity. This episode exposes the truths Hindus tries to hide.

In this episode, we examine the controversial historical claim surrounding the parentage of Jesus, focusing on the theory that he was the son of Pantera. Drawing on the academic research of Professor James Tabor, a leading biblical scholar, the discussion explores early Jewish, Roman, and historical sources that challenge traditional Christian narratives.We analyze why this alternative historical framework provokes strong reactions, how theological authority is constructed, and why certain interpretations of Jesus' origins remain deeply unsettling for mainstream Christianity. This episode separates faith from historical inquiry and asks why questioning sacred narratives continues to generate fear, resistance, and censorship.This episode is designed to expose Christian missionaries who seek to convert Sikhs to their false beliefs.

Discover how Guru Hargobind and the Sikhs fought not just battles, but for the right of an individual to follow their conscience.

Sikhism is a rapidly growing religion in Australia, but it's still poorly understood. How are community leaders responding to misinformation and discrimination? - Sihlik Avustralya'da hızla büyüyen bir din olmakla birlikte, hala yeterince anlaşılmıyor. Peki, toplum liderleri yanlış bilgilendirme ve ayrımcılığa nasıl tepki gösteriyor?

In this episode, we uncover the story of Gangu Brahmin, who initially adopted Sikhi not out of faith but to exploit Sikhs for personal gain. When Guru Gobind Singh Ji saw through his deceit, Gangu regressed back into the Hindu faith, enraged by his exposure. Humiliated, he later struck back in an act of vengeance against the Guru's family, driven by greed and immoral desires. This episode challenges attempts to deny his existence and reveals the full scope of his betrayal.

The Sacred text of Sikhs begins with the idea that there is one creative force that is the sound of all of creation. That Creative Force is what is! Everything is part of that Oneness. There is no “other.” Listen as Raman Singh presents a religious way of thinking about caring that starts in a different place. If all of creation is one, then what? If there is no other, then what about Caring for the other, for the stranger? Raman Singh starts out this podcast by causing us to reconsider - possibly think in a  profoundly different way - about who is the “other.”

Victoria Police can now search any car or person in the city of Melbourne without a warrant. The move, aimed at reducing knife crime, will allow police to tap-search a person, ask them to empty their pockets or remove their outer clothing. The law has raised concerns among members of the Sikh community who carry the ceremonial dagger 'kirpan'. - ਵਿਕਟੋਰੀਆ ਦੇ ਨਵੇਂ ਕਾਨੂੰਨ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ ਮੈਲਬਰਨ ਵਿੱਚ ਪੁਲਿਸ ਹੁਣ ਬਿਨਾਂ ਵਾਰੰਟ ਕਾਰਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਵਿਅਕਤੀਆਂ ਦੀ ਤਲਾਸ਼ੀ ਕਰ ਸਕਦੀ ਹੈ। ਇਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਜਾਮਾ ਤਲਾਸ਼ੀ, ਛੜੀ ਨਾਲ ਸਕੈਨਿੰਗ, ਜੇਬਾਂ ਖਾਲੀ ਕਰਵਾਉਣਾ ਅਤੇ ਬਾਹਰੀ ਕੱਪੜੇ ਹਟਾਉਣਾ ਵੀ ਸ਼ਾਮਲ ਹੈ। ਚਾਕੂ-ਸਬੰਧੀ ਅਪਰਾਧਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਰੋਕਣ ਲਈ ਲਿਆ ਗਿਆ ਇਹ ਕਦਮ ਕਿਰਪਾਨ ਧਾਰਨ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲੇ ਸਿੱਖਾਂ 'ਤੇ ਕੀ ਅਸਰ ਪਾ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ, ਅਤੇ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਹੜੀਆਂ ਗੱਲਾਂ ਦਾ ਧਿਆਨ ਰੱਖਣ ਦੀ ਲੋੜ ਹੈ? ਇਸ ਪਾਡਕਾਸਟ ਰਾਹੀਂ ਜਾਣੋ। ਜ਼ਿਕਰਯੋਗ ਹੈ ਕਿ ਕਾਨੂੰਨੀ ਛੋਟ ਹੋਣ ਦੇ ਬਾਵਜੂਦ, ਗੁਰਦੁਆਰਾ ਕੌਂਸਲ ਦੇ ਮੁਤਾਬਕ ਕਈ ਮੈਂਬਰ ਮਾੜੇ ਤਜਰਬਿਆਂ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਹੈਲਪਲਾਈਨ 'ਤੇ ਮਦਦ ਲੱਭਦੇ ਹਨ। ਇਸ ਕਰਕੇ ਭਾਈਚਾਰਾ ਕਿਰਪਾਨ ਬਾਰੇ ਹੋਰ ਜਾਗਰੂਕਤਾ ਦੀ ਮੰਗ ਕਰ ਰਿਹਾ ਹੈ।

Ambulance Victoria has introduced a new mask fit-testing pathway using the Singh Thattha technique. This allows paramedics who maintain facial hair for religious, cultural, or medical reasons to meet safety requirements. The change follows Monash University paramedic student Prabhjeet Singh Gill, 19, being denied a mask fit test due to his beard, an article of faith for Sikhs. The new approach ensures paramedics can maintain their beliefs while staying safe on the job. - ‘ਐਂਬੂਲੈਂਸ ਵਿਕਟੋਰੀਆ' ਵੱਲੋਂ ਹੁਣ ਪੈਰਾਮੈਡਿਕਸ ‘ਚ ਕੰਮ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲਿਆਂ ਨੂੰ ਧਾਰਮਿਕ, ਸੱਭਿਆਚਾਰਕ ਅਤੇ ਮੈਡੀਕਲ ਕਾਰਨਾਂ ਕਰ ਕੇ ਦਾੜ੍ਹੀ ਰੱਖਣ ਦੀ ਮਨਜ਼ੂਰੀ ਮਿਲ ਗਈ ਹੈ। ਇਹ ਫੈਸਲਾ ਮੋਨਾਸ਼ ਯੂਨੀਵਰਸਿਟੀ 'ਚ ਪਰਾਮੈਡੀਕ ਦੀ ਪੜ੍ਹਾਈ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ 19 ਸਾਲਾਂ ਵਿਦਿਆਰਥੀ ਪ੍ਰਭਜੀਤ ਸਿੰਘ ਗਿੱਲ ਵੱਲੋਂ Australian Human Rights 'ਚ ਦਾਇਰ ਕੀਤੀ ਇੱਕ ਸ਼ਿਕਾਇਤ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਆਇਆ ਹੈ। ਹੁਣ ਇਹ ਨੀਤੀ ਹਰ ਧਰਮ ਤੇ ਲਾਗੂ ਹੋਏਗੀ ਜਿਹੜੇ ਦਾੜ੍ਹੀ ਰੱਖਦੇ ਹਨ।

//The Wire//2300Z November 25, 2025////ROUTINE////BLUF: GDP DATA TO NOT BE RELEASED FOR Q3 2025. CORRUPTION CONTINUES IN MINNEAPOLIS. KHALISTAN REFERENDUM VOTE CAUSES CONCERN IN CANADA. PEACE TALKS MAKE GOOD PROGRESS IN UKRAINE.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Europe: Peace talks continue between the United States and Russia. The White House has stated that so far, all sides have agreed to the bulk of the plan as written, however a few details still remain to work out. Otherwise, the war continues on, with a series of drone attacks being carried out by Russia overnight, some of which flew all the way to Moldova and Romania.Analyst Comment: The peace talks are closer to a deal than in recent memory, though as always some minor detail can derail things at the last minute. Even so, all sides confirm that pretty much all of the highly-controversial items have reached a point of agreement, so as it stands the major hurdles have been cleared regarding the signing of a peace deal.Canada: Yesterday the Khalistan Referendum vote was carried out nationwide, which resulted in terrorism concerns due to demonstrations present at polling places. This vote has come about as the Sikh community in Canada has desired the creation of a Sikh-only district (Khalistan) back in India, due to their cultural differences in India with other groups. As such, this vote was not anything organized by the Canadian government (none of these polling places were legitimate), this was purely a private endeavor to hold a non-binding vote on whether or not to create a new autonomous district within India.Analyst Comment: Beyond the obvious concerns with a diaspora being large enough to hold a vote on a district in another country entirely, the main issue is that this entire affair was organized by Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, who is an activist currently characterized as a terrorist back in India. Many instances were reported of threats being chanted at voting events, which was cause for concern as the social issue of Sikh independence is a very vitriolic internal issue in India itself, which has now transitioned to Canada. Roughly 53,000 Sikhs are estimated to have participated in the vote.-HomeFront-Washington D.C. - The White House announced yesterday afternoon that the GDP report for the third quarter of 2025 will also not be released, along with the jobs report and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report for October. The reason provided by the White House is the same as the other reports which will not be released, namely that the government shutdown prevented accurate data from being collected.Analyst Comment: At this point, anything to do with the economy is either speculation or gambling, however these excuses are flimsy at best. Not releasing critical economic indicator data is being perceived as covering up something, so either way, it's probably not a positive indicator for the status of the economy.Chicago: The victim of the immolation attack from a few days ago has been identified as Bethany MaGee. She survived the attack and remains in critical condition, with severe burns affecting over half her body.Minnesota: Yesterday a judge overturned the conviction of Abdifatah Yusuf, who was convicted by a jury of gross Medicaid fraud for stealing roughly $7.2 million from the healthcare system, by running many different healthcare companies out of his residential address, all of which were fraudulent. The jury agreed with the prosecution in that he was clearly running a Medicaid overbilling scam, and he was convicted as such. Despite the overwhelming evidence that resulted in his conviction, Judge Sarah West threw out the jury's verdict, and acquitted Yusef herself.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: This case might shed some light on exactly how widespread fraud is in Minneapolis. Even when convicted b

The Partition of India in 1947 was one of the most transformative and tragic events in South Asian history. It marked the division of British India into two independent dominions—India and Pakistan. This political event reshaped borders and forced one of the largest mass migrations in human history. An estimated 10 to 15 million people were displaced as they fled across new boundaries based on religious identity, with Hindus and Sikhs moving to India and Muslims migrating to Pakistan. This upheaval created challenges that continue to affect genealogical research today, as records were lost, families were torn apart, and entire communities were displaced...

Send us a textWhen Guru Amar Das Ji left Goindwal, darkness fell upon the hearts of the Sikhs. But guided by faith — and the wisdom of Baba Budha Ji — the sangat followed a silent mare through forests and fields… until love itself led them back to their Guru.

In this episode, we explore the extraordinary life of Sikh supremacist Baba Dip Singh Shahid (1682-1757), one of Sikhi's most revered warrior-saints. Born during a period of intense persecution, Baba Dip Singh was among the first Sikhs initiated into the Khalsa by Guru Gobind Singh in 1698.A devoted member of the Khalsa, he dedicated years to hand-copying the Guru Granth Sahib while also becoming a formidable military leader of Misl Shahid. His legacy is defined by his ultimate sacrifice: at age 75, he led a force to liberate the Golden Temple from Afghan invaders. Mortally wounded in battle, Sikh tradition holds that he continued fighting with his severed head until his last breath.His story remains a powerful symbol of unwavering faith, courage, and the willingness to sacrifice everything for one's beliefs and community.

Episode #425: Dr. Lalita Hanwong, a Thai historian and analyst, has dedicated her career to understanding Myanmar and its ties to Thailand. “I'm morally attached to the peoples of Myanmar,” she says, summing up a lifetime of scholarship and advocacy that spans from the archives of colonial Burma to the war-torn Thai-Myanmar border. “I just want to talk to everybody.” Trained at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, Lalita's research explored how British rule relied on racial hierarchies to govern Burma. “The British were pretty paranoid and suspicious of the Burmese… the specific race that they found the most difficult to rule and police was actually the Bamar,” she explains. “Their solution was pretty simple: let's bring somebody to scare the Burmese—hence the presence of the Gurkhas, the Sikhs and so on.” These studies taught her how old systems of mistrust shaped modern Myanmar. Her work later shifted from archives to activism. Returning to Thailand, she began advising parliament and the army on border affairs, refugee policy, and Myanmar relations. “There are some really good-hearted [Thai] soldiers who mean well, who want to help Myanmar as well,” she says. Mae Sot, the border town she calls her second home, has become central to her life: “Mae Sot is a really fascinating place. There's no place like Mae Sot… Thailand has been the hub of resistance from Myanmar for generations.” Lalita argues that Thailand must take a more active role as mediator and humanitarian partner. “Thailand could do a lot more,” she says. “The border is a gray zone… we cannot use the urban mindset to get the border fixed however we like it.” She rejects isolation of the junta—“you need somebody who can still negotiate and get access to Naypyidaw”—and believes dialogue is the only way forward. “War is never good for anybody except war business people.”

Happy Diwali and Bandi Chorr Divas! ✨We are trying something new on the podcast this week and doing a South Asian holiday deep dive and breaking down why different religions like Hinduism, Sikhism and Jainism celebrate Diwali and Bandi Chorr Divas. Growing up in the UK, unfortunately all these festivals are sometimes bucketed into one celebration when each community celebrates for a slightly different reason. I find it really interesting to learn more about different cultures and hopefully you find it interesting too. So today we are learning more about Diwali and Bandi Chorr Divas! If you are celebrating, wishing you loads of love and light

This week I'm joined by historian Wendell Schollander to discuss his new book The British Empire's Regulars 1880–1914. We dive into the lives of the men who fought and marched across the globe in Britain's name – English, Sikhs, Scots, Gurkhas, Ibos, Zulus and many more – showing how these diverse soldiers were anything but anonymous pawns. Wendell brings their stories to life, explaining the unique contributions of each group and why their service was vital to the empire's survival.
