19 - Shamsher Singh and Baljit Singh - Battle of Amritsar (1984)

In this episode I sit down with Shamsher Singh and Baljit Singh to discuss the groundbreaking new documentary film, 'Battle of Amritsar (1984). We start with thoughts on how the documentary has been received before moving on to the issues of censorship and overcoming the challenges associated with that. We then look how and why 1984 remains this pivotal moment for Sikhs across the world and then spend some time discussing battle itself before moving on to the importance of honouring the sacrifices and achievements of the Khalsa, by centering the conversation on sovereignty and Khalistan.Be sure to hit subscribe and let us know your thoughts!You can find details of upcoming screenings at www.BattleOfAmritsar.com and follow the team on IG @nsyf_uk and for specific updates about the documentary follow @junghindpunjabEvery book we publish, every podcast we produce, and every resource we create exists for one purpose: to preserve stories, recover voices, and build a lasting library for the Panth. The Khalis Audio Library is, and always will be, a free resource for the Panth.
