An Indian Morning
Sunday April 23rd, 2017 with Dr. Harsha V. Dehejia and Kishore "Kish" Sampat
The first 30 minutes of the program features classical, religious as well as regional and popular music. The second one hour features community announcements and ear pleasing music from old/new & popular Indian films.

An Indian Morning celebrates not only the music of India but equally its various arts and artisans, poets and potters, kings and patriots. The ethos of the program is summarized by its signature closing line, "Seeking the spirit of India, Jai Hind". हार्दिक अभिनंदन आप सबका, शुक्रिया, धन्यवाद और Thank You इस प्रोग्राम को सुनने के लिए। Pichle hafte meine aapke liye kuch ashgui washgui, love shove ke gaane chunne they.
