Interviewing Linguist, Author Peggy Mohan

   Posted by: aman    in Other

Dear friends,

A few days back Peggy Mohan, author of ‘father tongue, motherland’ and I discussed her new book. Thank you Asha Jhina, IIHS for hosting the talk. Please find the recording of the interview.

80 mins. English.

Though Sikh-born, I refrain from speaking about Sikh theological matters. That is because for Sikh institutions say I am Patit, a degenerate Sikh, because I do not carry long hair.

I raised the point to Avtar Singh from BBC News Punjabi when he asked for my views on the current fracas among Sikh institutions. Upon reassurance that the matter is also political, I shared my views. Do read the story for other more qualified comments than mine.
