This episode goes into the false idea that the idea of a Jatt can exist in Canada, and how they exploited their own brethren from Punjab.

This episode takes a hard, honest look at the failings within the Punjabi and Sikh communities to safeguard their most vulnerable members — those who often feel unseen, unsupported, and ultimately become easy targets for religious conversion. We explore how social neglect, spiritual disconnection, and a loss of communal empathy have opened doors for outside influence.

In this episode, we explore the spiritual side of artificial intelligence through a Sikh lens. How does AI fit within the Sikh understanding of hukam (divine order) and gurmat (spiritual wisdom)? Can machines ever reflect the divine light within creation, or are they simply tools shaped by human ego? We dive into Gurbani-inspired perspectives on consciousness, technology, and the responsibilities Sikhs carry in an age of rapid innovation.

In this episode, we explore the complex subject of sex in the Sikh world. From cultural silence and community taboos to the teachings of Sikh philosophy, we look at how Sikhs approach love, marriage, intimacy, and modern challenges like dating, pornography, and premarital relationships. This is a conversation about breaking stigma, asking real questions, and reconnecting with the values of dignity, respect, and balance.

This episode exposes the growing drug epidemic in the South Asian community. From hidden addictions to the silence around mental health and cultural stigma, we break down how drugs are affecting Desi families, youth, and the wider community. We share real stories, root causes, and the urgent need for open conversations about this crisis.

In this episode, we dive deep into the world of AKJ (Akhand Kirtani Jatha) and uncover the realities behind the reputation. From its origins and practices to the controversies and criticisms, we explore what the mainstream narrative doesn’t talk about. This is not just about exposing an institution, but questioning how faith, authority, and tradition shape the Sikh community today.

In this episode, we explore the rise of South Asian gangs in Surrey and uncover how the recruitment pipeline operates, from vulnerable youth to organized criminal networks. We examine the social, economic, and cultural factors that make young people susceptible, the inner workings of these gangs, and the impact on communities. By looking at prevention strategies, law enforcement approaches, and stories from those affected, we reveal the complex realities behind the headlines.

In this episode, we dive deep into the recent floods in Punjab and examine how unsustainable farming practices, over-reliance on water-intensive crops, and mismanagement of river systems have made the region increasingly vulnerable. We discuss the historical context of Punjab’s agriculture, the environmental pressures it faces, and the human decisions that are turning fertile lands into flood-prone zones. Through expert insights and real-world examples, we explore the urgent need for sustainable farming and better water management to protect both people and the land.
