Hi, I’m Sukhraj Singh from SikhArchive and welcome to the 66th 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 Sangeet Toor, who by profession is a cybersecurity analyst based in Chandigarh but beyond this, she is an activist and journalist who documents the history of land rights and peasant struggles in Punjab. She has also been working closely on the ground with the most recent farmers protest in Punjab.

Today we discuss how show she became an activist and what the farmers protest is about. Further, we talk about some of the historical movements that were the precursor of today’s farmers protest to explain how history is repeating itself. We close with a discussion on the role of women in today’s protest and the state of the justice system in India.
