Sacrilege & Sovereignty: The Guru, the Panth & the State
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of a new law passed by the Panjab government regarding sacrilege and Sikh governance.
Beadbi is back in the news, and this time, the Panjab government has passed a new law. But is a state-legislated solution what the Panth needs? What are the implications of a law written without the input or consent of the Akal Takht Sahib, the political seat of authority for Sikhs? Join Harinder Singh and Jasleen Kaur as they return to the question of ‘sacrilege,’ Sikh governance, and what it means when the state steps in to deal with matters over which Sikh institutions are meant to have authority. Featuring: Harinder Singh ( https://sikhri.org/people/harinder-singh ) Jasleen Kaur ( https://sikhri.org/people/jasleen-kaur )
