Vichār: Perspectives on Preservation of Panjabi

  • Louis Riel Library 1168 Dakota Street Winnipeg, MB, R2N 3T8 Canada (map)

This workshop is designed for individuals who want to explore the rich history and culture of Panjab. Join us for an immersive experience that will take you on a journey of self-discovery, understanding the influence of Panjabi language and its importance in preserving our heritage, and exploring our link to history and its role in shaping today's society.

In our first session, we delve into the power of Panjabi through music, dance, and self-discovery. We explore the themes of relationships and parent-child dynamics, as well as the importance of understanding our internalized biases towards the language.

In session two, we explore the influence of Punjabi around the world, focusing on the impact of art on social movements. From Sidhu M's song "PANJAB" to the our creative project we will explore how different forms of artistic expression can help todays generation reconnect to the Panjabi language.

In our final session, we dive into the historical significance of Panjabi and its role in shaping our identity as Sikhs. We explore the rumors about the language dying and why, as Sikhs, we must preserve it to honor our connection with Gurbani and maintain our cultural heritage. Finally, we touch on the battles of Chamkaur and Saragarhi and the role of Panjabi in Sikh history. Through this session, we gain a deeper understanding of the importance of Panjabi language and culture in shaping who we are today.
