“My silence would be a true disservice to this nation that continues to bleed for every single human’s freedom. That is the essence of a Sikh. By remembering 1984, I am reminded that the Sikh identity was intentionally targeted and that very Sikh identity is a part of who I am.”
(Amanpreet Kaur, Sikhri 2019)
Gurmat Center’s goal has always been to promote the message of Sikhi and to remember the legacy of our Gurus. The Shaheedi Smagam is always held on the 31st of October so our youth can spend a wonderful evening with Sangat.
All celebrations are great but to forget our own history is an injustice to our future generation. Let’s help our children realize how great their Sikh heritage is by joining Gurmat Center on Saturday, October 31, 2020.
