Immortal Warrior-Defending The Martyrdom of Guru Tegh...

The Sikh Renaissance ·

2022/11/19

Professor Audrey Truschke, the Hindu Right and Islamists-these three seemingly disparate entities are united in denying and disparaging the martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadur the ninth Sikh Guru. In this episode not only do we answer their allegation that no contemporary source exists to evince this martyrdom, but we also cite contemporary Persian sources written by those nearest to Aurangzeb substantiating the lead-up to the event and its aftermath. We are joined in this episode by eminent Sikh

The Sri Gur Panth Prakash Of Ratan Singh...

The Sikh Renaissance ·

2022/09/17

The Sri Gur Panth Prakash is a 19th century Sikh chronicle delineating the historic ascendance of Khalsa sovereignty in 17th-18th century Punjab. In this episode we explore all the information available on the text; discuss its history and compilation as well as refuting H.S. Chopra's specious allegations (made in 1988) that the polemic Bhai Vir Singh altered it. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sikh-renaissance/message

The Way Of The Khalsa-Killing Your Inner Victim

Fraternity Of Immortals-The Rise And Fall Of Misl Shahid

The Sikh Renaissance ·

2022/07/02

Misl Shahid was an 18th century Khalsa political Confederacy which was a precursor to the likes of the SGPC today. Its rise and fall encapsulates the internal strife which plagued the Misls after their heyday. By understanding the history of Shahid Misl we can unlock many enigmas of the Sikh past, particularly those of the modern Akali-Nihangs. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sikh-renaissance/message

Debunking The Myth Of Marathas Rebuilding Darbar Sahib

The Sikh Renaissance ·

2022/05/07

We are joined by savvy historian/historiographer Anmol Singh Rode (Ranneeti Punjab) in debunking the outrightly fallacious claim of right wing propagandists that the Marathas entered the Punjab in the mid-18th century to save Sikhi and rebuild the sacrosanct Sikh Darbar Sahib. Relying primarily on Maratha historians (Besam, Kulkarni, Sardesai, Gordon and Sarkar) as well as contemporary material we evince that the Marathas had: (a) No interest in being in the Punjab and only arrived when lured by

The Warrior's Fangs-Sikhi & The Five K's

The Sikh Renaissance ·

2022/04/24

There has been much unnecessary academic controversy ignited over the 5 K's. McLeodian allegations have included denying their origination with the tenth Guru and accusing the Singh-Sabha Lahore of concocting them. On the other hand the modern Upgrade school ludicrously proposes that the priestly class invented the K's and all evidence related to them within the span of one century and that All Sikhs fell for the bait hook, like and sinker. The truth is somewhat different as we establish. The K's

Fear-Your Greatest Ally

The Sikh Renaissance ·

2022/04/03

Gurbani identifies fear as a contagion; an illness which rapidly proliferates and takes over its host society. What exactly is fear and how does one Master it? We argue that the vilification of fear is a matter of perception and just as the occasional exposure to pathogens strengthens our immune system similarly exposure to fear emboldens us to live life wholly by transforming it from a handicap into a fuel. --- Send in a voice message:

Studying The Sikh Past

The Sikh Renaissance ·

2022/03/01

How should we approach the question of Sikh history? How should we comprehend our Ithiaasic Granths? Through the framework of blind Sharda (faith)? Through the application of common sense? Or through careful sifting of fact from fiction and applying Gurbani as the ideological touchstone to understand each and every facet of our physical and written heritage? Covering vast historiographical topics from the unique testaments of E.H. Carr to the categories of historians devised by G.R. Elton and

The Most Dangerous Scripture

The Sikh Renaissance ·

2022/02/13

Why is the SGGS subjected to atrocious intellectual and physical attacks? It is high time that each and every professed Sikh look within it and comprehend its words to understand that its stance on liberating Sikhs from bondage and making them true Khalsas is antithetical to political, religious and social agendas ergo its repeated targeting. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sikh-renaissance/message

The Sikh Roots Of Ghadar

The Sikh Renaissance ·

2022/02/01

The Ghadar Party was a majority Sikh based anti-imperialist militant nexus of globally based Sikhs aiming to forge a coalition of subcontinental provinces to overthrow the British in India and establish a subcontinent wide commonwealth. Its failure removed it from history by default with Marxists, Nationalists and Socialists misappropriating and revamping its history for their own insidious aims. In this episode we make a strong defense of Ghadar's Sikh values and Khalsa ideals arguing that Sikhi

Toughen Up Buttercup! Cancel Culture Is Not Sikhi

Sikh Identity In Academia: A Circus Of Catastrophes

The Sikh Renaissance ·

2021/10/31

We explore how current Sikh academics betray the trust reposed in them by the Sikh masses to pander to distorted perceptions of Sikh doctrines and the Sikh past with a particular focus on the fallacy of Sanataan Sikhi. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/the-sikh-renaissance/message

The Battle Of Life-Lessons From Bhai Sukha Singh Shahid

The Sikh Renaissance ·

2021/10/21

Bhai Sukha Singh (1721-1753) was an eighteenth century convert to Sikhi who became synonymous with the Khalsa military ethos during his lifetime. Stoic in the face of pain, he was a man of high dynamism who straddled both the military and political spectrums effortlessly. Famed, and somewhat stereotyped, for his sterling role in the assassination of Massa Ranghar we revisit him to see what lessons his life can impart us for living in today's times. --- Send in a voice message:

From Warriors To Wokes-The Devolution Of...

The Sikh Renaissance ·

2021/10/02

The Guru Granth Sahib provides us with a template to raise our children; our future generations. The Guru expects us to raise our offspring as Sikhs. After all, we are not raising our own children in the sense we are giving them our own ideology to follow. Rather, we are aiming to raise GurSikhs and Khalsas of the future. However, we are also witnessing a digression in the current period where Sikhs themselves are not ensuring that their own children inherit Sikh values. Rather, they are giving

The Spartan-Testudo Complex

The Sikh Renaissance ·

2021/09/20

We define the Spartan-Testudo complex as being the entrenchment of particular cultural, political, social and other alternative traits which hamper one's mental and interactive mobility in the world today. For the Sikhs this complex is exemplified by the current wave of hyper-excessive woke liberalism as well as the polar opposite of traditional living with tradition being living as we did in the 18th century. We believe that both these clashing dichotomies are preventing the Panth's progression and

Defending The Sikh Identity

The Sikh Renaissance ·

2021/09/13

As we somberly observe the 20th anniversary of the horrific 9/11 attacks (2001), we also reflect on the countless Sikhs who were targeted by xenophobes worldwide owing to their turbaned appearance. With the current Laissez-faire attitude adopted towards Sikh doctrines, it has become commonplace to criticize and even vilify those Sikhs who differentiate between themselves and fundamentalists given the turbaned appearance of both. Such disparity and self-apathy is becoming commonplace among western

Who Was Nawab Kapur Singh?

The Sikh Renaissance ·

2021/09/04

Nawab Kapur Singh-the charismatic but equally enigmatic 18th century Sikh leader who captained the Khalsa Panth during its darkest days in the post-Banda Singh period. What we know of him is derived from a few scant references in the Sri Gur Panth Prakash of Ratan Singh Bhangu, the oral histories of the remnant Nihang bands or the testimonies of his enemies. So who was Nawab Kapur Singh who historians told us preserved the existence of the Khalsa Panth as it faced oblivion in the face? And why is
