 21: Buddh Mere kol Natha/Siddha/Jogiya Rahi paunchde ne te mein Kabir kol ehna sarya rahi”
Speaker: Des Raj Kali   Date : May, 20, 2020 Wednesday 

Our Guest Des Raj Kali entered the world of Punjabi prose, the language moved from its roundedness and assumed its sharpness and depth. Kali’s writings brought a new turn to the Punjabi story-writing as it entered its fourth generation. With him one notices a fusion of the psychic consciousness of the first generation and abstractness of third generation. Kali’s story is abstract as well absurd. He was so confident of the novelty of his style that he entitled his first anthology as Kath Kali (‘Stories of Kali’, 1996). The collection attracted the attention of some of the story-masters. His characters retain their distinct plebeian identity while challenging the hegemonic discourses. There are strains of Sufi philosophy and the influence of Islam in their language. Their issues are different, consciousness is distinct; there is no contempt for anybody, they just seek love.
In his second collection Fakiri (‘Mendicancy’, 2006), Kali surpasses his earlier self. He picks up such subjects in which characters leaves behind authentic traces of the past. He starts weaving Dalit characters living in the excluded quarters of central Punjab. He delves deep into the philosophical roots of the Dalit lifeworld. For this, analysing of Indian mythology becomes a necessity for him, which he had actually started reading in his school days. With the publication of his collection Yahan Chai achhi nahi banti (‘Good Tea is not served here’, 2015) he gets established as an experimental writer.
As Kali moves towards the genre of novel, his first novel Parneshwari (2008), named after a local peasant goddess, introduces Dalit characters waging a war of existence against the cultural hegemony of Sikhs and Hindus. One confronts a dense picture of the complexity of Dalit culture. With this novel, Kali conceives a series of novels that he names as Nar-Natak (the male play). He thinks whatever the male is doing in the world is a drama. So far four more novels have appeared in the series: Antheen (‘Eternal’, 2008), Pratham Pauran (First Puran, 2009), Shanti Parav (2009), and Shehar vich Sahn honn da Matlab (‘What it means to be a Bull in the Town’, 2018). Antheen and Pratham Pauran address the traumatic impact of two decades (1980s-90s) of Sikh militancy/terrorism on the new generation. In his latest novel he has taken ‘Bull’ as a metaphor and symbol of the financial world. To him the finance capital has completely taken over people’s life since 1990. It has brought about an atmosphere of insecurity, uncertainty and alienation for the poor. People have turned more towards plastic religiosity, even to superstitions.
Kali has experimented with subject and form, giving Punjabi novels a new meaning. He reinterprets the Indian myth from Dalit perspective and re-presents the marginalised materialistic traditions such as Charavaks, Buddhas, Siddhas and Nath Yogis. One can see the philosophical sparks emerging from his prose. Overall, politics of his literature moves around liberation of women and Dalits.
Besides producing four books on historical research of the Gadar Party (revolutionary organisation founded in America in 1913 to free India from British Imperialism), Kali has written numerous essays on Punjabi society and culture. He also edits a literary quarterly Lakeer.

14: Topic; Tracing Remnants of the Musical Heritage from the Ruins of 'Punjab'
Speaker Bhai Baldeep Singh. May 09, 2020. Saturday.

Bhai Baldeep Singh is often described as the Renaissance Man of Punjab. There are two distinct senses in which this is appropriate. The more familiar sense will recall the many talents of the polymath Leonardo da Vinci, for Bhai Baldeep Singh is a formidable percussionist and singer, filmmaker and politician, luthier and poet. The less familiar but more fundamental sense in which this epithet is apposite evokes the exquisite historical sensibility and cultural interventions of the poet Francesco Petrarca, who perceived Rome’s decline and envisioned her rebirth. In the later 80s, Bhai Baldeep Singh embarked upon a spectacularly ambitious project to usher in a cultural renaissance in South Asia. Born in the thirteenth generation of a family blessed to serve the Sikh legacy from the time of Gurū Nānak, he renounced a career as a fighter pilot to conserve the endangered tradition of Sikh sacred music. He travelled across the Indian subcontinent, including prePartition Punjab, and beyond, conducting responsible fieldwork with over two dozen of the remaining bearers of GurSikh excellence. An institution unto himself, Bhai Baldeep Singh assimilated their oral narratives and musical knowledge into a panoramic vantage and performative élan unmatched in recent decades. Were it not for Bhai Baldeep Singh’s herculean efforts to salvage GurSikh tangible and intangible heritage, original musical masterpieces in which scripture was revealed to the GurSikh Gurus, musical instruments and playing systems of their endowment, and the pedagogical processes through which rising generations of custodians are being minted would have been irrevocably lost. The timely interventions of this polymath are particularly remarkable as Bhai Baldeep Singh ideated this project of revitalization in his later teens and executed it without external financial support. His 1991 documentary film The Sacred Music of the Sikhs showcased the successful revival of priceless Sikh musical instruments. In the documentary, Bhai Baldeep Singh played repertoire he safeguarded on the taus and joṛī, instruments he saved from extinction. The global movement to readopt traditional Sikh instruments owes its inspiration to his pioneering work, even if the commercially available instruments are fabricated by manufacturers uninitiated in any authentic tradition of Sikh luthiery. Bhai Baldeep Singh envisioned an orchestra using period instruments from the Gurus ’eras in 1998. In 2005, his establishment of The Anād Foundation modelled a new approach to making dynamic contributions in the non-governmental, non-profit sector. In this capacity, he curated a week-long showcase of musical and literary excellence, partnering with the Bihar Government to mark Gurū Gobind Singh’s 350th birth anniversary at his birthplace. His scholarly contributions in leading publications argue that Gurbānī Sangīta is not merely another tradition within Hindustānī Sangīta, but a continuation of the early modern, pre-Mughal saintly music predating much of Hindustānī and Karnātic Sangīta. Bhai Baldeep Singh represents a class of Sikh leadership unmatched in recent decades, as a past contender for Indian public office and national television personality. After handcrafting Sikh instruments back to life, notating over three hundred heritage compositions, and training dedicated students from across the world, Bhai Baldeep Singh is prepared to embark upon a new chapter of his visionary project. In 2018, he announced his intention to found a for-profit animated film company dedicated to sharing the richness of the South Asian culture with a global audience. He envisions an epic retelling of the Sikh story featuring the original revelatory songs of Gurūs accompanied by period instrumentation. After decades long research and retrieval of original instruments, rāga-tāla forms and repertoire, he has recently begun to notate early modern Sikh repertoire for multi-regional orchestration. In honour of Gurū Nānak’s 550th birth anniversary, Bhai Baldeep Singh’s pathfinding innovations in arranging early modern repertoire for period European and Asian instruments will be on display, beginning in Rome at Expression on Nature: Dharati Suhāvī. He hopes to take his Anād Ensemble on an unprecedented concert series on an international tour, with a thematic focus on places visited by Gurū Nanāk during his travels. Drawing upon Gurū Nanāk’s legacy of care for the environment and exploited peoples, this unique musical experience is an invitation to commit anew to conserving the planet and precious cultural heritage.
