Sehreeti Nidhi Batra

Baba Farid, a great Sufi Saint, choose to communicate with the common man - in the language of the commons -  Siraiki

6th April is celebrated as Siraiki International Day - lets get into some history and some present to understand the relevance of Siraiki to have a day of its own!

Hear about how Siraiki stories, phrases, metaphors and unique vocabulary express the unique culture of Siraiki society 

Siraiki has never been the language of the elite, rather it has been a language of locals propagated through oral traditions of storytelling, folklore, sufi poetry and music

Who are Siraiki's? Are they Punjabi? Is there a unique Siraiki identity?

Dr. Batra traces his steps, going back the memory lane of when he became "Siraiki ka deewana"
