Youth Activism & Misrepresentation: Sikhs, Sovereignty, and Media Narratives | Voices of Resilience

Описание: Violence in modern forms, like drone warfare, has become normalized, making it difficult for communities visibly associated with arms—such as Sikhs—to be understood within their cultural and historical context.

Harinder Singh addresses the significance of careful language in these discussions, encouraging Sikhs to engage thoughtfully in conversations about tradition and identity. Emphasizing the role of arms in Sikh tradition raises important questions, as the principle of the Saint-Soldier model is often misunderstood. Just as global peacekeeping forces exist to protect, the Sikh tradition of bearing arms is rooted in the pursuit of justice and peace.
