Growing up in Texas, people often saw our turbans and called us "terrorist." It got worse after 9/11.
I promised myself then that I'd do what I could to help introduce the world to Sikhs. Today, decades later, I'm thrilled to share my new book.

I’m a Sikh Spurs fan. I grew up in San Antonio and have lived in NYC for almost 20 years.
I love seeing New Yorkers come together around a miraculous run. Games 2 and 4 crushed my soul.
But I still have faith.

Isn't this what everyone's been chanting?

To all Sikh New Yorkers: Happy Khalsa Sajna Diwas and Vaisakhi!
This joyous holiday commemorates the founding of the Khalsa by Guru Gobind Singh ji, a defining moment that established the Sikh identity and its call to serve humanity selflessly, protect the religious rights of all, and stand against political oppression, tyranny, & discrimination.
May we all carry forward the spirit of Vaisakhi as we work together to build a city rooted in freedom and belonging for all.

We’re in a brief moment where both the cities of New York and Hoboken have Punjabi American mayors: Zohran Mamdani and Ravi Bhalla.

Mayor @RaviBhalla will conclude his 8 years as mayor of Hoboken in mid-January, transitioning to the New Jersey State Assembly, which he was elected to last year.
All my best to my two favorite Punjabi Mayors!

I had a profound spiritual moment today at Mayor Mamdani's inauguration. And it came courtesy of some Sikh friends.
A small reflection from a historic celebration on hope, integrity, and sangat.

hilarious. wait until they find out that this is actually a sikh who sings in punjabi and lives in canada (gasp!)
also, feel free to show the singer some love with a follow (@babbulicious)
Zohran Mamdani’s inauguration in New York City has music that’s not even in English and Muslim men on stage that look like they’re in Afghanistan
Buckle up America. This is the Islamic takeover of America

Arash Singh is one of tens of thousands of Sikh truck drivers from India who transport loads across the United States.
Two high-profile crashes and a Trump administration crackdown have brought worry, and wariness, to the Sikh immigrant community.
