Several new South Asian nation-states were born as the British Raj ended in 1947. The Panjab of the Indus Valley civilization (3300-1300 BCE) and the Sikh Rulers (1710-1849) was annexed by the British in 1849 and partitioned by their Radcliffe line in 1947. Akalis have been representing the Sikh political consciousness since 1920.
After 75 years of the Partition:
Why are the significant sections of Panjabis and the Sikhs feeling estranged?
What are the historical, cultural, geopolitical, trade, and economic contexts and realities?
How can those mentioned above be addressed, given the current trends?

Persian
ای کمالِ تو کمال است و کمال است و کمال ای جمالِ تو جمال است و جمال است و جمال
ای که نزدیکی تو از شه رگ و عالم حیرانیارِ ما این چه خیال است و خیال است و خیال
من ندانم که کدامم که کدامم که کدامبندهٔ اویم و او حافظِ من در همه حال
دلِ من فارغ و در کوی تو پرواز کندگر زِ راهِ کرمِ خویش ببخشی پر و بال
صاحبِ حال به جز حرفِ خدا دم نزند غیرِ ذکرش همه آواز بود قیل و مقال
مرشدِ کاملِ ما بندگی ات فرماید ای زهی فالِ مبارک که کند صاحبِ حال
بی تو یک دم و نفس هست مرا همچو سالاین وبال است و وبال است و وبال است و وبال
هر که گوید تو چه باشی و چه گوید جز تو گشت حیران همه عالم همه در عین جمال
English Translation
Such is our deep connection with You,That only with Your arrival, there is exuberance in the world.
In Your pathway, I have spread out,My eyes and my heart—the only worthy possessions I could offer.
Have some compassion for the Divine’s faqīrs! So that you may find bliss in this world.
Direct your heart towards the Divine at all times,So you can cross the bridge of Sirāṭ with ease.
No one is at ease under the ever-turning sky,So Goya, just move through this worn perpetual caravanserai.

This is the story of Jassa Singh Ahluwalia (1718-1783, of the most outstanding leaders Sikhs have had. As a leader of the Dal Khalsa, he prepared the Sikh community to take control of its own destiny in the most troubled times and write a chapter on its own in the annals of history.
His leadership helped the Sikh community through multiple genocidal campaigns and turned out sovereigns in Panjab, a North-Western region in South Asia.
What lessons can we learn from this figure in Sikh history from birth to death?

What is Hukam? What does it mean to give your head to the Guru? Can one live in constant flow and surrender to Hukam while remaining detached from the world?

Join Harinder Singh and Jasleen Kaur as they discuss the larger Sikh context around beadbi as a political problem in need of a political solution.
What is beadbi? How has it been dealt with historically? What are its Panthic and legal understandings? How does it relate to the reverence Sikhs collectively show to the Guru Granth Sahib? And how, given recent cases in the news, can we understand individual and collective responses given the current realities on the ground?
