Sikh Spotting! Russia Today just posted a neat piece on Sikhs, featuring the SALDEF leadership. Go Jasjit and Rajdeep!

I will say that news pieces like this have been produced repeatedly post-9/11. The one about Sikhs at a Brown’s game comes to mind. So on one hand, you can say that things aren’t changing 8 years later, that things are pretty much the same — perhaps Sikhs will always face this issue.

But, in the last week, I’ve been at 2 different, major business meetings, and at both meetings someone approached me and said, “Hey, are you a Sikh?” Both times, I said, “Well yes I am, thanks for noticing.” ;) So I think all the tireless efforts of people that work at organizations like SALDEF and Sikh Coalition, the parents who want to educate schools instead of cut their kids’ hair, the movies, videos, blog posts, tweets, and interfaith gatherings are making a difference.
