S02E04: Activist. Preacher. Harvard graduate. Anti-British. We follow the intriguing life of Teja Singh; from an anti-British activist in a 3-piece suit living in Vancouver and travelling across North America, to a quiet life as a sant or holy person in India in the 1960s. Complementary to Teja Singh was Ghadar revolutionary Balwant Singh. The political activist was a priest at the Vancouver gurdwara who was active in Indian independence movements across the world.

In Season 2 of The Nameless Collective Podcast, we talk about crime & criminality, and what constitutes criminal behaviour amongst early South Asian settlers in and around Vancouver, Canada.
