Punjabi Recognition in Canada: From Classrooms to Census
On the Dupaher Wala Show, host Jaspreet Sidhu speaks with Balwant Sanghera, President of PLEA, about the long struggle to advance Punjabi language recognition in British Columbia and across Canada.
From the early challenges of introducing Punjabi in BC schools, to securing Punjabi-language services at Vancouver International Airport, the conversation highlights decades of advocacy and community persistence. They also stress why Punjabi speakers must actively participate in the national census to strengthen representation, funding, and language rights.
A powerful discussion on identity, policy, and the ongoing fight for recognition.
