About

Bunga Azaadi (Institute for Azadist Studies) is a Think Tank set up to discuss, debate and do the necessary Vichaars to apply a Sikh perspective to the modern world. With the rapid rate of innovations in technology and a constantly changing geo-political landscape, it is imperative that the Guru Khalsa Panth is conscious and evaluating the world around us to keep up to date. This Think Tank forms a network of individuals passionate about using Sikhi to inform our positions in order to navigate these changing times and make informed decisions moving forward. We hold a particular emphasis on statecraft and economics and use the Sikhi based political-economic ideology of Azadism as a foundation for our Vichaars.
