In 1984, Times of India editor Girilal Jain published "De-Turbaning of Sikhs," an editorial arguing for the systematic dismantling of Sikh identity. This episode unpacks Jain's strategy: severing Sikh youth from elder leadership, dismantling Khalsa martial tradition, and rendering a generation purposeless enough to drift toward substance abuse or conversion. We trace how this playbook echoes into today's Sikh youth crisis and what reclaiming Khalsa identity actually requires. A Sikh Renaissance deep dive into media warfare, cultural erasure, and resistance.
