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.
