“The call for action is evident from the lives and wisdom of the Guru-founders of the Sikh faith: Imbibe the Divine qualities to serve for other’s benefits with a deep sense of self-sovereignty. Jaswant Singh Khalra lived and died to uncover illegal mass cremations evidence of extra judicial Sikh killings in Panjab. That earned him the reward to become the number one target of the state, making him the 25,001 illegal mass murders. Hence, his legacy is paramount within the Sikh narrative of last 30 years. He fearlessly fought the system and loving embraced death for he had become the Sikh of the Guru!” -Harinder Singh, CEO, Sikh Research Institute
