We start off the conversation talking about family, in particular his baby daughter, Brexit, Punjab and tomatoes. We then dive into wider migration patterns and how they affected his family. The difficulties in tracing Punjabi family lineage, social and historical capital and the legacy of colonial legislation.

We then move onto more interesting topics (one sent in by a number of followers) namely what does Sikh Archive say to those who accuse him of being too left-leaning? This touches upon a number of things such as Kamala Harris, Marcus Rashford and identity politics.

This then flows into a discussion regarding what is justice? How do we engage with injustice, whether that be historical injustice or societal injustice. We discuss Sikhs in the military, integration and alignment to whiteness, the martial race narrative and the Sikh nation.

We round the episode off asking how and why Sikh Archive was started, book recommendations, the Sikh ethos of uprooting tyrannical systems and the changing landscape of Sikhi & Gurdwaras.
