B.J. HarrisonHOST
Well, I was pretty proud at having this small command given me, since I was a raw recruit and a game-legged one at that.
B.J. HarrisonHOST
For two nights I kept the watch with my Punjabis.
B.J. HarrisonHOST
They were tall, fierce-looking chaps, Mohammed Singh and Abdullah Khan by name, both old fighting men who had borne arms against us at Chaliyanwala.
B.J. HarrisonHOST
They could talk English pretty well, but I could get little out of them.
9 MINS LATER
B.J. HarrisonHOST
Brown, heavy clouds were drifting across the sky, and it was hard to see more than a stone cast.
B.J. HarrisonHOST
A deep moat lay in front of our door, but the water was in places nearly dried up, and it could easily be crossed.
B.J. HarrisonHOST
It was strange to me, standing there with those two wild Punjabis, waiting for the man who was coming to his death.
B.J. HarrisonHOST
Suddenly my eye caught the glint of a shaded lantern on the other side of the moat.
Jawahar MalhotraHOST
But I'm not alone.
Jawahar MalhotraHOST
There's a lot of Punjabis who have the same experience.
Jawahar MalhotraHOST
A lot of
speaker_3UNKNOWN
Bengalis who have that experience.
Sabah ChoudreyHOST
Yeah.
Sabah ChoudreyHOST
I do love the range of nicknames that Punjabis and Indians have.
Sabah ChoudreyHOST
It's a very, very cultural specific thing that I just never experienced because they just mean, they're just sounds.
Sharon DhaliwalHOST
They are.
Manjit KhalsaGUEST
Yeah.
Manjit KhalsaGUEST
And obviously, as you know, like my parents are Punjabis, I am a Punjabi, but I was raised in the Sikh community, which is also a spiritual community.
Manjit KhalsaGUEST
And I don't talk a lot about that.
Manjit KhalsaGUEST
And I remember a friend of mine who is beautiful, beautiful soul, and she helps women to get comfortable in their skin.
GurveenHOST
Like, if he had a partner, the Sarbji Gil guy, that guy should have been doing that on his own.
GurkHOST
I think honestly what it is, is like Desi's, especially Punjabis get like, they don't research it.
GurkHOST
They don't look into it.
GurkHOST
They just like, Oh yo, you have an investment opportunity.
Madhushree GhoshGUEST
And, you know, that trauma stays.
Madhushree GhoshGUEST
I've always been fascinated by how did the Punjabis deal with it, because they lost their land and land was their livelihood.
Madhushree GhoshGUEST
And there was a huge amount of violence, sexual violence against the women that we don't talk about because there's shame associated with it, there's dishonor associated with it.
Madhushree GhoshGUEST
But in addition, Punjab as a kingdom before all this was extremely wealthy, extremely rich in land, in food, in wealth in itself.
Madhushree GhoshGUEST
And as a as a.
Madhushree GhoshGUEST
From a journalistic aspect of it, I was choosing not to pick either side, but I also wanted to understand it from the Punjabi perspective after Pindarwale's assassination, what happened and why Punjab is the way it is.
Madhushree GhoshGUEST
And what happened to the diasporic Punjabis who lived outside of the country when they heard the news that the Golden Temple was attacked? So when you look at, and when I try to explain this, you should think about Notre Dame and the fire there and how everybody rallied to reopen the church.
Madhushree GhoshGUEST
And there was no question about it.
Priya SuchadevaHOST
I am also Punjabi, so it happens at my home.
Baninder SinghGUEST
Punjabis only release it one day.
Baninder SinghGUEST
We have a specific word to release it.
Paweena VityasnianGUEST
So for us, one good thing is he can release in Punjabi, I can release in Thai, and both of us don't understand.
Michael BerryHOST
Uh, Sean, is it, is it Scott Du- Scott Duffy, the transportation secretary, uh, they just shut down two hundred seventy driving schools that were not actually running a driving school.
Michael BerryHOST
They were basically, uh, pay-for-play licenses for truck drivers, a lot of them from India, uh, from the Punjab region, uh, Punjabis they're called.
Michael BerryHOST
And the schoo- these schools were being run to give a license to drivers to be on our freeways who don't speak English, which becomes a huge problem, uh, for a number of different operational, uh, logistical issues, as well as many of them simply did not know our laws, had no experience.
Michael BerryHOST
It's a terrible, terrible thing.
Dilpreet TaggarHOST
Thank you for having me here today.
Dilpreet TaggarHOST
Yes, we were just discussing how we both are Punjabis and I'm just like, of course, all the cool people.
Dilpreet TaggarHOST
No, I think I don't think
Raghav HandaGUEST
I should.
Anthony AbbateHOST
So I was in, um, I was in Brooklyn today, uh, in, um, [smacks lips] uh, uh, Carroll Gardens, which is a really nice a- it used to be a really nice area of Brooklyn.
Anthony AbbateHOST
And there's a really nice deli, and I'm like, "All right, maybe I'll run in and I'll grab something." I walk in and there's, like, Punjabi music playing in it.
Michael HichbornGUEST
[laughs]
Anthony AbbateHOST
I walked in, I heard the music, and I turned right around-
