A Punjabi Sikh is set to play in the Fifa World Cup for the first time in the tournament's history, after it starts this week.
New Zealand's number 10 Sarpreet Singh (27, born in Auckland) spoke with Indian media about the honour, which marks a new milestone for Sikhs in sport.
All these racists !!!! Do sweet fa when there are floods/disasters in the UK.
We get stuck-in and help our countrymen when needed, like during the 2014 #Somerset Floods. We build, whilst you guys destroy ! Proud to be British when it matters 💪🏽
50-years-ago today Gurdip Singh Chaddar was murdered in Southall (West London, UK). The 18-year-old was stabbed in an unprovoked racist attack. The tragedy saw Sikh communities respond by organising against a fascist threat.

Did you know a Hindu journalist was at Sant Jarnail Singh's home when news of his death broke?
Sanjay Suri, who is still a prominent Indian media journalist, has shared his story to underline how there was no anti-Hindu sentiment within Bhindranwale's movement.
#NeverForget1984
On this day 40-years ago, Sant (Saint) Jarnail Singh Khalsa Bhindranwale obtained Shaheedi (martyrdom) in the #BattleOfAmritsar.
He has since been named the greatest Sikh of the 20th century. His pic remains on the walls of countless Gurdwaras and Sikh homes.

40 years ago, a preplanned attack by the Indian army named “Operation Blue Star” was executed against one of the Sikh’s holiest places of worship the Golden Temple (Harmandir Sahib) on one of the holiest of days. Thousands of innocent men, women and children were horrifically killed. Although they intended to destroy the community, Sikhs have grown stronger over the years and every generation. #NeverForget1984 #1984SikhGenocide

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the attack on Sri Harmandir Sahib (Golden temple) ordered by Indira Gandhi, which led to Sikh genocide.
Victims families still seek justice. Labour is committed to an Inquiry into the UK Govt’s involvement. #1984 https://t.co/BsyVD95SOP
40 years ago those we protected ( India) launched an all out attack on Darbar Sahib, Golden Temple, 1000s of Sikh pilgrims were murdered.
This was an attack which would change the relationship among Sikhs & the indian government forever. #ParnaamShaheedanNu
Today marks the beginning of the Indian army invasion of the Darbar Sahib Complex and the Battle of Amritsar in 1984.
The @WorldSikhOrg has released a short documentary looking at archival news reports of the time, including of Sikh reactions in the diaspora.
#NeverForget84
This 1st of June marks 40-years to the day since the Indian State launched an ongoing attempt to destroy the Sikh spirit of resistance and ideals of sovereignty. The courageous stand of a few saw them fail, because the Sikh kaum (nation) still remembers.
#40yearsUnforgotten
40 years since Indira Gandhi ordered attack on #GoldenTemple complex, leading to #SikhGenocide, destruction of historic structures and looting of artefacts.
Still no justice for victims, nor UK inquiry (but Labour have promised) into Thatcher Govt involvement!
#NeverForget1984
Today millions honour the #BattleOfAmritsar, when in 1984 Sikh resistance stood against an Indian army assault on holy site Sri Harmandir Sahib.
