It was an honor to help set the stage for @simran at today’s Sikh Coalition virtual conference! I appreciated the opportunity to explore lived religion, identity, and pluralism with educators in my keynote before settling in to learn from him with my copy of Modeling Religious Pluralism in hand.
Grateful to the @sikh_coalition for bringing us together to consider how people’s stories can deepen understanding and enrich our classrooms.

1/ After five years of hard work, the book is in my hands. The Ẓafarnāma of Guru Gobind Singh: A Critical Edition, Translation, and Commentary is Volume 103 of the Harvard Oriental Series, with a preface by Wheeler Thackston, and is now available for pre-order. A thread.

Twenty-five years after 9/11, Sikhs are *still* being targeted and profiled for how we look.
Millions of Sikhs in the United States have the last name Singh, which means lion. We remain fearless in identifying as Sikhs—even when our government portrays us as enemies.

To all Sikh New Yorkers: Happy Khalsa Sajna Diwas and Vaisakhi!
This joyous holiday commemorates the founding of the Khalsa by Guru Gobind Singh ji, a defining moment that established the Sikh identity and its call to serve humanity selflessly, protect the religious rights of all, and stand against political oppression, tyranny, & discrimination.
May we all carry forward the spirit of Vaisakhi as we work together to build a city rooted in freedom and belonging for all.

Arash Singh is one of tens of thousands of Sikh truck drivers from India who transport loads across the United States.
Two high-profile crashes and a Trump administration crackdown have brought worry, and wariness, to the Sikh immigrant community.

"Storybooks expand representation by honoring the cultural and subjective nuances of identity, helping us see both ourselves and one another more clearly." @simran shares in @rns how books nurture empathy and belonging. 📚💛

A groundbreaking 2006 study in the Journal of Research in Personality found that people who get absorbed in a story tend to have greater empathy and social ability.
Fiction—particularly stories that transport readers beyond their own world—has been scientifically proven to increase our capacity for understanding others.
That’s, in part, why Simran Jeet Singh (@simran) writes children’s books rooted in Sikh traditions: to give kids more opportunities to connect with lives unlike their own.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Sardar Fauja Singh — the world’s oldest marathon finisher and an inspiration to millions around the globe. He defied expectations and kept running well into his 100s, proving that age is no barrier to greatness.
One of our favourite books, Fauja Singh Keeps Going, beautifully captures his story of perseverance, purpose, and the power of never giving up.
His legacy will continue to motivate generations to push beyond limits and chase their dreams — at any age.
