Rabbi Shergill is pained as he finds Punjabi pop music dumb.
Rabbi Shergill is pained as he finds Punjab unresponsive to important issues like global warming and water crisis.
Rabbi Shergill is pained as he finds Punjabi diluted and reduced to mere younger sibling of Hindi.

Rabbi Shergill is a pop singer who has always associated himself with issues of social concerns. Born and brought up in Delhi and roots in Majha region of Punjab he considers the spectrum of Punjabiness much wider than the geographical landscape.

He is a vocal supporter of the ongoing agitation against new farm laws and simultaneously, critique of the music created in its support and the limited approach of the protest. He doesn’t doubt the intention of music producers vis-à-vis protest but finds it myopic as it bypasses the unpleasant recent past. He foregrounds his experience of 1984 when Sikhs were brutally killed, maimed and dishonoured in an organised carnage in the national capital, New Delhi and many other places in India.

Rabbi deployed his experience, empathetically when he wrote about the rights activists killed in early 2000s. He shares the making of Jinhe Naaz Tha Hind Per … as he invokes the murders of Bilkis Yakub Rasool, Shanmugam Manjunath, Satyendra Dubey and Navleen Kumar poignantly to underline the gap between the promise and performance of a nation state.

In a freewheeling conversation with Daljit Ami he ponders over the kind of Punjab and Punjabiness he wants to leave for the next generations.
