That Panjabi Couple!

Hot Take: Gurdwaras are Losing Us | Tania & Manpreet | That Panjabi Couple!


Listen Later

We discuss the challenges facing Gurdwaras today and why younger generations are increasingly disconnected from these important Sikh community centers. We share nostalgic memories of attending Gurdwaras as children, from running through the halls to participating in family events, and explore how the experience changes as we grow older.


The discussion tackles controversial topics including:


  • What makes a Gurdwara meaningful beyond just attendance
  • The disconnect between traditional practices and modern relevance
  • Why youth participation is declining and what might bring them back
  • Our vision for what Gurdwaras could become: true community centers with libraries, gyms, medical facilities, and more


We also examine the tension between maintaining traditions and creating spaces that truly engage today's Sikh community. Join us for this honest conversation about preserving the spirit of Sikhi while adapting to contemporary needs.
