Hi, I’m Sukhraj Singh from SikhArchive and welcome to the 61st episode of our Podcast series of conversations with historians, authors, academics, researchers, and activists on topics related to their areas of expertise on Sikh or Panjabi history. 

In this episode, we are joined by Gurmeet Kaur, who is an Panjabi American author and publisher known for creating a series of children's books under the project Fascinating Folktales of Punjab. And in 2020, she wrote and published a book about Jaswant Singh Khalra in order to commemorate his 25th martyrdom, which will be the topic of the conversation today.

We begin by learning more about Gurmeet Kaur and what motivated her to write the book. Then discover who Jaswant Singh Khalra was as well as understand how the book was written and all the careful thought that was considered in its publication.
