Punjab is known as India's agricultural heartland. In a special edition of the programme we hear about the push towards more sustainable farming in the state and the early rumblings of an organic food revolution.

We meet the Punjabi film star and singer Babbu Maan, looking to challenge Bollywood. We visit one of India's most sacred sites, the Golden Temple and meet the team which provides some of the biggest names in cricket with their most prized possession - their bats.

Vivienne Nunis presents the programme live from Jalandhar. She's joined throughout by Himanshu Pathak, the founder of NGO Change This India and spokesperson for the Congress party of Punjab; and Lahore journalist Mehmal Sarfraz from Neo TV.
