This procession included participation by the Sri Dasmesh Malaysian Sikh Band, who also participated in the Nagar Kirtan held Saturday in San Jose, California. In October, the Sikh community in Stockton will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the establishment of their Gurdwara – the first in America: “This Gurudwara holds historical significance, Gadri Baba (Gadri Baba Mangu Ram Muggowalia), who established the Gurdwara in 1912, he also fought […]

According to Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends”, the Sikhs of Stockton, CA are killing Christmas

December 8, 2011 by Rupinder Mohan Singh

The hosts of Fox News Channel’s nationally-airing morning program, Fox & Friends, went on a diatribe about the policy of a school in Stockton, California to maintain a non-denominational holiday celebration within its classrooms.  One of the hosts, Gretchen Carlson, went on an especially disdainful rant and cited the presence of Stockton’s Gurdwara and Sikh population, the oldest in America, as the reason why the Christian aspect of the season was being downplayed by the school.

A Sikh’s reaction to the killing of Osama bin Laden

More Vaisakhi celebrations across the USA

April 19, 2011 by Rupinder Mohan Singh
