American Sikhs Served Langar At The Women’s March And Restored Our Faith In Humanity

The Sikh community is known for their belief in serving the community. From serving langars at Gurudwaras to organising charity events, the community keeps working towards improving communal harmony. We have earlier heard news of Sikhs serving food to refugees and Sikh community helping people in need all around the world, and something similar happened during the women’s march in the USA on January 21.

While millions of people joined the Women’s march against the newly elected US President, a bunch of American Sikhs gave out free food and water to the protesters.

While we often hear about Sikhs being targeted in Western nations for racial abuse, the community never stops setting high moral standards for the world to follow and be inspired.
