The Khalis Podcast
www.KhalisHouse.com - Welcome to the Khalis Podcast, a platform for aspiring and established writers, poets, artists and academics who are passionate about preserving and furthering Sikh and Panjabi heritage. Khalis (ਖ਼ਾਲਿਸ) is a versatile word; as well as meaning "pure" in Arabic and Sanskrit, in the Persian context it means "free" or "independent". This idea of independence forms an integral part of our vision. With this podcast we aim to supplement our publication work with meaningful discussion on history, ideology, philosophy, culture and the identity that shapes who we are today, as Sikhs in the 21st century.
