Baltej Singh Dhillon

First Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) officer allowed to wear a turban and unshorn beard.
Graduated from the RCMP training academy in Regina (Saskatchewan, Canada)

After joining the Mounties in 1990, Dhillon sparked a heated national debate simply because he wanted to maintain his turban -- a symbol of his faith -- as part of the historic RCMP uniform. He won the right to do so, leading the way for many other young Sikh officers to follow suit. Born in Malaysia, Dhillon speaks five languages and immigrated to Surrey as a teen. He is now a sergeant and polygraph examiner for B.C.'s major crime unit. He has worked on high-profile cases like the Air India bombing and serial killer Robert Pickton.

Dalip Singh Saund​

Dalip Singh Saund (September 20, 1899–April 22, 1973) was a member of the United States House of Representatives. He served the 29th district of the state of California from January 3, 1957–January 3, 1963. He was the first Asian American,and Sikh member of the United States Congress. He is to date the only Sikh to have served in Congress.​

Born in Chhajulwadi, Punjab, to a Sikh family, he received his bachelor's degree in mathematics from the University of Punjab in 1919.​

He immigrated to the United States, originally to study agriculture at the University of California, Berkeley. While at the university, he obtained a master's degree (1922) and a Ph.D. (1924), both in mathematics. He thereafter remained in the United States, becoming a successful farmer.​

Later, he campaigned to allow "Hindus," as all people of South Asian descent were called at that time, to become naturalized citizens. After the Luce-Celler Act was passed in 1946, he applied for naturalization and became an American citizen in 1949. He ran for election in 1950 as a Justice of the Peace for Westmoreland township, California, and won the election, but his election was thrown out as he had been a citizen for less than a year. He later ran again for the same post and won.​

In November 1955, he announced his campaign to run for the United States House of Representatives as a Democrat and won an election for an open seat against a famous Republican aviator, Jacqueline Cochran. He was re-elected twice, becoming the first Asian American and first member of a non-Abrahamic faith to be elected to Congress. In May 1962, he suffered a severe stroke which left him unable to speak at all, or walk without assistance, thus ending his congressional career​

proud 2 be a sikh........tfs 22 ji.............

 

[TaRaN.rbk]

Nina Kaur an Amritdhari Gursikh has made Khalsa Panth Proud after she has won Care Innovator Award at her prestigious organisation Care Unique. This is one another proud moment after Arpinder Kaur (another Keski wearing & an Amritdhari) become the very first turbaned pilot in USA.

Nina Kaur’s judges said:”We are extremely impressed with the simplicity of Nina`s idea to provide a focused home care service to ethnic minority groups.” She was presented this award by Harry Gration, presenter of BBC Look North, and Gordon Smith from Smith Smalley Architects.

This is very inspiring that if an Amritdhari and keski wearing too women can maintain their rehat in Western country then what is the problem with keeping rehat by Sikhs in India. It is a request to all of you to maintain your reha and wear 5ks (by becoming Amritdhari Sikhs of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji)
