Iqbal Mahal has emerged as a ambassador for promoting cultural and racial harmony in Canada, especially spreading Indian music and Punjabi folklore since 1976.
Iqbal established his radio and television network “Punjab Di Awaj” in 1981. His main contributions include production of North-American musical works of Indian and Indo-Canad culture.

“Punjabis abroad are still tuned to their rituals, traditions and rich cultural heritage, whereas, in Punjab, youngsters are more inclined to western habits,” said Iqbal.
