The cut and thrust of politics has returned to the Scottish Parliament and the SNP-Green Government is under fire for its shambolic management of Scotland health services. Yet the First Minister, Nicola Sturgeon continues to deflect and blame the pressures on our NHS on others - despite the fact that the SNP has been in charge of health for the past 15 years.

We launch a campaign to get step free access at railway stations on Glasgow's Cathcart Circle Line; plus we discuss with a leading bereavement charity the triggering of underlying grief among many who lost loved ones over these difficult few years.

After 10 days of official mourning in honour of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, culminating in the state funeral for Britain's longest reigning Monarch, this week we have a second, special edition, of Gulhane on Politics. 

Across Scotland, the tributes have been many and heartfelt.

But with the passing of The Queen, will Scotland’s attachment to the United Kingdom strengthen or weaken ?

This week, we have a special edition of Sandesh on Politics - to reflect on Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's amazing seven decades of service and the beginning of a new era with King Charles III as Monarch.

This podcast was recorded on Edinburgh's famous Royal Mile, where we spoke with many people about the Queen's life, the King's accession and the implications for Scottish politics.

On this week's show,

Scrutiny: The Scottish Parliament returns from its summer recess - and a new UK Prime Minister;

Harmony: Can singing help people recover from Long Covid; and 

Ceremony: Scotland's Indian diaspora celebrates.
