This episode explores the 1935 Jhatka Conference, a pivotal yet often overlooked moment in Sikh history that shaped Sikh perspectives on food ethics, rehat maryada, and ritual practices.

Through historical records, ethical reasoning, and Gurbani-based philosophy, the discussion explains why Sikh tradition rejects ritualistic slaughter practices and upholds Jhatka as aligned with Sikh values of responsibility, courage, and spiritual clarity.

The episode also examines Sikh perspectives on ritualism, animal consciousness, and scientific considerations around slaughter methods, grounding the discussion in Sikh thought rather than interfaith conflict.

Ideal for listeners interested in Sikh history, Panthic discourse, Gurbani interpretation, and Punjabi intellectual conversations.

In this episode, we explore the second Sikh-Mughal conflict of 1634, centered on Bibi Kaulan, a woman who boldly embraced Sikhi. Discover how Guru Hargobind and the Sikhs fought not just battles, but for the right of an individual to follow their conscience. Hear the daring, nonchalant, and rebellious spirit of the Guru as he challenged oppressive authority. This story highlights courage, faith, and the fight for spiritual freedom in Sikh history.

This episode uncovers a largely ignored story in Sikh history and contemporary experience: Brahmins who embraced Sikhi and faced betrayal, ostracism, and persecution from their own communities. From Guru Nanak to Guru Gobind Singh, high-caste individuals chose spiritual truth over social safety, paying a steep price for conscience and conviction. A revealing exploration of power, caste, and courage.

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.

Banda Singh Bahadur is one of the most misunderstood figures in Sikh history. This redux episode brings together all the valid insights from our previous Punjabi discussions and presents them in a clear, accessible English format. We cut through the confusion and examine the historical evidence that proves he was not Hindu, despite the modern myths built around his early life. From his meeting with Guru Gobind Singh to his transformation into a revolutionary Sikh leader, we explore how politics, misread narratives, and cultural agendas shaped public perception. This is a grounded, source-driven look at Banda Singh’s true identity and legacy.

Did Guru Tegh Bahadur really die “for Hindus”?
In this explosive episode, we challenge one of the most repeated modern claims about Guru Tegh Bahadur’s Shaheedi.

Drawing from Sikh texts, history, and Panthic tradition, we explore who he actually defended, what he stood for, and why reducing his martyrdom to a single community oversimplifies a far deeper spiritual and political legacy.

This episode cuts through popular narratives, colonial rewrites, and modern identity politics to reveal a more complex—and far more powerful—truth about the Ninth Guru’s stand against tyranny.

In this episode, we set the record straight on Max Arthur Macauliffe — one of the most important Western scholars of Sikh history — and address the misinformation spread by Puneet Sahani and his circle.
