From Punjab’s first encounters with outsiders to the upheaval of Partition, meet the women who defied tradition, colonial rule, and societal norms to shape history.
In this conversation with Harleen Singh, author of The Lost Heer, we uncover stories of queens, rebels, and protectors, women who ruled and resisted, even when confined by purdah or erased from history books.
From early education reforms to royal negotiations and hybrid cultural identities, this is a journey through colonial Punjab you won’t find in school textbooks.
Watch or listen now to discover the voices history tried to silence.
