In this episode of the DM-Mi Podcast, we host journalist Hardeep Singh  about his career path, from radio beginnings to writing for outlets like The Spectator and Spiked Online. He shares how a 2007 defamation lawsuit shaped his focus on free speech, contributing to UK libel law reforms. The discussion covers his work on cultural and political topics—such as grooming gangs and the 2022 Leicester unrest—and the challenges of freelancing in a changing media landscape, including the rise of platforms like Substack.

We also explore identity, debating Rishi Sunak’s "Englishness" (he suggests British Hindu heritage) and critiquing ethnic classifications in the census and justice system. He questions "non-crime hate incidents," and calls for their removal to protect free expression.

As deputy director of the Network of Sikh Organisations, he outlines its efforts to promote Sikh values and religious literacy, a key issue for the community.
