'Sikhs can't even seek justice in India,' Khalsa Aid CEO refuses Indian of the Year Award
Internationally renowned humanitarian Ravi Singh who is the founder of Khalsa Aid respectfully declined an Indian award nomination, saying:
‘I don’t identify myself as Indian.’ Khalsa Aid was founded by Ravi Singh in 1999. Since then it has grown to provide aid and disaster relief worldwide, becoming one of the most famous Sikh organisations across the planet. Throughout that time, Singh has consistently campaigned for justice for all the Sikhs who were killed, tortured, and suffered at the hands of the Indian authorities, especially in 1984 during the Sikh genocide. In the Facebook post he said - Let me REPEAT ! Why I am Panjabi foremost. I will happily call myself INDIAN if the following 3 conditions are met by the Indian government. These aren't very big conditions and in fact can be easily implemented. But sadly I know this won't happen. 1) Jail Sajjan Kumar, Tytler & Kamal Naath for their role in Genocide of the Sikhs.
