Post-Diwali Reflections on Firecrackers, Air Pollution and Celebrating With Meaning - Preetinder Grewal & Ranjodh Singh

Show by Radio Haanji

In this post-Diwali episode of The Talk Show on Radio Haanji 1674 AM Melbourne, hosts Preetinder Grewal and Ranjodh Singh reflect on growing up with firecrackers in Punjab, the real risks behind them and a personal injury story that still serves as a warning. They discuss the sharp rise in air pollution across northern Indian cities such as Delhi, Sri Ganganagar and Jalandhar, how winter thermal inversion traps smoke, and what global health estimates say about air quality. The conversation also covers festival commercialisation, plastic waste, community celebrations in Australia and Canada, and tensions that can arise in diaspora neighbourhoods. A listener from Perth raises the lack of Punjabi language resources in Australian schools, and the show closes with reflections on the spiritual meaning of Diwali through the words of Bhai Gurdas Ji and Prof. Mohan Singh.
