Tarsem Jassar emphasizes that Sikh history is a significant part of Punjabi culture and should be told authentically, reflecting its rich heritage and spirit. In relation to Diwali, he highlights that the festival transcends religious boundaries and belongs equally to everyone, promoting unity beyond religion[1]. He feels that stories and films like his upcoming "Mastaney," which is set during the Sikh rebellions against Nadir Shah's army in 1739, play a crucial role in educating people about Sikh history and valor. The film portrays ordinary men learning the true essence of Sikh identity, underscoring themes of courage and resistance[1][3]. Regarding Diwali, Jassar points out that while it is widely celebrated across religious communities including Hindus, Sikhs, and Jains, the festival's core message is one of light prevailing over darkness and new beginnings, which should be inclusive of all[1][2]. This inclusive view promotes Diwali as a shared cultural celebration rather than a solely religious observance.
