In this episode, Shabd interviews Harkaran or Hark1karan as he’s known online, about his photo-book, ‘PIND: Portrait of a Village in Rural Punjab’ which shows a specific culture, rooted in Indian Punjab, in a village called Bir Kalan, in the district of Sangrur, Malwa. It captures brilliantly the daily life of this village, its residents and the changing rural landscape without romanticising it.

They talk about the story behind the book, the creative process and interactions with people of the village, Harkaran’s life being a creative person in the Punjabi community, and dealing with and capturing through photos, the questions of personal expression and changing ideas of normality in a community which is continuously evolving.
