    Fire by Dangg

    In this episode, I discuss the current state of Punjabi music and why I believe it has reached a world-class level. I also explore the decline of traditional ethnic Punjabi music, commonly known as bhangra. To illustrate where the genre is headed, I take a closer look at the track "Fire" by Dangg as a prime example of the future of Punjabi music.

    Why Cultural Understanding is Vital For Peace - What happened in New Zealand is not peaceful

    The streets of South Auckland, recently became a theater for a deeply jarring confrontation. On a Saturday afternoon in December 2025, a peaceful Nagar Kirtan—a traditional Sikh religious procession—was met by a group calling themselves the “True Patriots of NZ.”As the Sikh community moved forward with hymns and offers of free food, they were blocked by approximately 50 protesters performing a Haka. Banners reading “This is New Zealand, not India” were unfurled, and shouts of “Jesus is our true God” echoed through the air.For many watching, the scene was a painful irony. The Haka, a sacred Māori expression of identity and challenge, was being used as a shield for exclusionary rhetoric. Meanwhile, the Sikh community, which has been part of the New Zealand fabric for over a century, was being treated as a foreign “invading force.”This incident is a symptom of a much larger issue: a lack of mutual understanding that threatens to create a racial divide where there should be a bridge.To move forward, we must take a “deeper dive” into the shared history, values, and contributions of both the New Zealand people and the Punjabi diaspora.
