In our very first episode of The ਸੋਚ Podcast, I get to talk with Satnam Singh from Denmark.

We  get to know a little bit about him and his upbringing in Denmark. We  discuss the importance of teachers, the books he is currently reading,  as well as a discussion about the need for impartiality when  researching.

We continue and dive into the Anandpur Darbar and the  Early Misl Period. Just a few of the questions we discuss: What is the  Anandpur Darbar? Why the number 52? The Kavis Mansion in Anandpur and  the cultural, political and wider impacts of the Anandpur Darbar.

The  discussion regarding the early Misl Period touches upon a number of  things, including a comparison with the Ottoman Empire of the time, how a  lot of the systems required for the success of Maharaja Ranjit Singh ji  were already setup during the misl period. We discuss art, literature  and culture under the early misl period and modern day auction houses.
