Narinder’s work begins on the premise 'not to seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise; rather seek what they sought'. Her research intertwines an autoethnographical and practice based approach to gurbani kirtan, the musical prayer in the Sikh tradition, to uncover ways in which its practice, teaching and playing shapes Sikh identity and Sikhi.
