European Sikhs’ request for Justice

Friday the 30th of October. It is past 12:30 pm when Master Karan Singh stands up on the wooden stage addressing not only the Sikh community coming from all around the world but also and above all speaking to anyone who can hear his words. Demanding tolerance and a recognition of Indian minorities, it is finally a peace demand that the hundreds of Sikhs call for in front of the Palace of Nations in Geneva. They came here from Italy, Spain, Germany, Canada, the USA... in order to protest against the injustice and discrimination of which their brothers in India are suffering.
