Sikh

Singh, a follower of the Sikh faith who had come to the United States from India, died trying to save his colleagues.

Some Sikh men were beaten so badly they had to be hospitalized.

Just days after Vaisakhi—the harvest festival that marks the start of the Sikh New Year—America’s Sikh community was left petrified by a bloody massacre.

Among the eight victims who died in the mass shooting at an Indianapolis FedEx Facility on April 15, four were Sikh.

Police say that the three activists held a Zoom meeting with a “pro-Khalistani” organization in Canada, referring to a Sikh independence movement, according to local media.

“After my experiences in 1984, I felt that it was unsafe for me to live as a Sikh in India,” said Singh.

Note: Muslim and Sikh are not races but religions, and identifiers can be worn by people of any race.

And many of my Sikh friends have shared with me a history of racial slurs and menacing stares they have endured over the years.

In 2004, two Sikh men were viciously beaten by young white assailants while walking on the sidewalk.

And in 2009, two Sikh men were attacked on the NYC subway after being accused of being related to Bin Laden.

The Sikh army has now, without a shadow of provocation, invaded the British territories.

Terms of peace were agreed on; and one of the stipulations between the two states was the disbandment of the Sikh force.

The Sikh ranks had been mainly recruited from our disbanded Sepoy soldiery and deserters.

There were many Sikh regiments belonging to our army in the black days of the Mutiny, and some wavered, but some held firm.

The Sikh soldiers, who had risen in mutiny against their own leaders, fell back and yielded their strong position.
