The programmes can be caught on BBC Radio 2 every night for the next 5days from 5th Jan 2009 at both 1.30am and 3.30am. You can always listen again from the BBC i-player via http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2
I will also include them in future episodes of SIkhwithin.

Developing a programme is interesting from researching, scripting to  finally recording and releasing for broadcast. With regard to the latter I received an email this morning that asked me to clarify references for evidence that the Moghul empire embarked on a campaign of ethnic cleansing.

The following links have been provided together with an email that I sent the BBC stating that at the time and also documented, the moghul emperors were increasingly influenced by Muslim Fakirs (priests) to gain heavenly rewards for the forced conversions.

We need to ensure that people know more about Sikhs, their heritage, what we stand for and our aims to help defend the defenceless.

I hope you like the programmes.
Best Regards

Some References about Sikhs fighting the tyranny of the Moghuls.
Sikhiwiki is brilliant but we also need more information to be made public about how Sikhs helped free India from oppression.

From Episode 42 onwards there will be a new format to the show, I hope that this new format will help / assist me to assembling shows with greater ease and speed and with an assurance of quality too!

Thank you so much for your patience over the last few months.
NB I have been around but have not had a chance to ensure my commitment to the shows.
I will now aim to fulfill this.

If you’d like to help, for example with research or audio / video, it would be great to get some volunteers to help out.

Best Regards and as always – feedback is most welcome.
