Listen on Apple Podcasts

Are you fascinated by the rich tapestry of history, filled with heroes, legends, and intricate twists of fate? Journey back in time to the heart of 19th-century Punjab, where the great Maharajah Ranjit Singh is forging a united Sikh empire from a land torn apart by conflict. This podcast series delves into the awe-inspiring life of Hari Singh Nalwa, the young warrior who became a legendary figure in the court of Ranjit Singh.

In episode one, "The First Step: Hari Singh's Entrance into Lahore," we set the stage with a vivid narration of a 13-year-old Hari Singh entering the historical city of Lahore. Witness the ancient city in all its glory—from its well-preserved walls to its bustling streets and the stately Lahore Fort where the Maharajah holds court. The episode uncovers not just the splendors of the city but also the tapestry of its complex political and social life, influenced by decades of war, culture, and spirituality.

Join us as we explore how Hari Singh, born into a family of warriors, quickly rose through the ranks to become a revered and celebrated figure known as 'Nalwa,' the Lionheart. Discover how a single act of valor in the face of life-threatening danger forever changed the course of Hari Singh's life, solidifying his place in history, and perhaps, changing the destiny of Punjab and greater India.
