We had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Balwant Singh Ji Dhillon of GNDU who spent 20 years clearing up Baba Banda Singh Ji Bahadur's name using contemporary/primary sources.
Dr. Dhillon, in a career spanning three decades, has unearthed numerous primary sources in Sikh history and lent new avenues to the world of textual studies. This episode covers:
(a) Banda Singh: Pre-Sikh past.
(b) Banda Singh: Meeting with Guru Gobind Singh Ji and initiation into the Khalsa.
(c) Banda Singh: Paterfamilias of the first Khalsa state.
(d) Banda Singh: Revolutionary social engineer.
(e) Banda Singh: Betrayal.
(f) Banda Singh: Appropriation by Hindu Mahasabha.
(g) Banda Singh: Defended by Sikhs.
