Did you know @amnesty have demanded India stop using drones to drop tear gas on the #FarmersProtest2024 group headed to Delhi? The humanitarian org say the bombardment exposes protestors to "excessive quantities of chemicals" as India attempts to prevent "freedom of expression".

Did you know there are suspicions India killed a prominent Sikh activist in the USA in 2015? Satwinder Singh Bhola, son-in-law of famed activist Bapu Surat Singh, was stabbed late at night outside his home in Chicago (Illinois). $2000 cash he had on him at the time was untouched

Many UK Sikhs are alarmed senior MPs @SadiqKhan and @JamesCleverly have run to condemn recent Indian High Commission protests but ignore attacks on Sikhs. This video proves India ultranationalists were pelting Sikhs at Wednesday's #PanjabUnderSiege protest. Will MPs condemn this?

Whilst Indian media and ultranationalists claim figures like Bhai Amritpal Singh only have fringe Sikh community support, any insight into real grassroots Sikh groups shows otherwise. Here we share a graphic showing all UK Sikh University Societies stand in solidarity with him.

With Vaisakhi incoming (14th April) and celebrations for the festival taking place through the month around the world, we remind all to use our informational page to ensure accurate messaging on it- . It is NOT the Sikh New Year or Sikh harvest festival!
