Toronto, Ontario, March 31, 2016: On Sunday April 3rd from 2:30pm to 4:30pm, Harinder Singh, Sikh scholar and activist/educator with #FreeAkalTakht, will lead and facilitate a discussion on "Power & People: Sarbat Khalsa" as part of Ontario’s 2nd annual Sikh Heritage Month (SHM) celebrations.
“The Sarbat Khalsa is the most natural and authentic method of internal Sikh governance,” says Harinder Singh, “and it is important that we continue the dialogue in order to engage as many Sikhs as possible in this process."
Sikhs in the diaspora are mobilizing to respond to the ongoing unethical leadership and institutional crisis in Punjab. The #FreeAkalTakht movement aims to free the Akal Takht from political interference and reclaim its state of social, economic, political and spiritual sovereignty.
This free and open event will feature a presentation by Harinder Singh who was part of the North American Delegation at the November 2015 Sarbat Khalsa. He will be sharing his experiences, discussing the process and the way forward, followed by an interactive Q&A session.
The inaugural weekend of Sikh Heritage Month marks the beginning of a month long calendar of over 40 events recognizing the Sikh diaspora in Ontario through discussions, workshops, and arts and culture displays.
