Various instances of racism against Sikh community have been and continue to be reported in Australia and pockets of the US. Many are forced to chop their hair and get rid of their turbans for safety reasons.
And this is exactly what Melbourne-based activist Sukhjit Kaur Khalsa highlighted during her performance for the reality show Australia’s Got Talent.Before starting her performance, she asked the audience to click whenever they truly feel what she feels. Inevitable as it was, the 21-year-old received a standing ovation at the end of her performance.
As soon as the video was uploaded on Facebook, it went viral and has garnered over 500,000 views. Kaur has received massive support from across the world.
