Today I want to tell you the story of a man called Bhagat Singh Thind.

He was born in 1892 in colonial Punjab. In 1913 he went to the US for higher education and enlisted as a soldier for the US Army
in 1918 during the First World War. He may have been the first turbaned soldier in the US Army. His unit was called Washington Company No. 2, Development Battalion No. 1, 166th Depot Brigade.

At that time in the US, South Asians faced immense racism and discrimination.

1: The #CitizenshipAmmendmentAct is a bigoted law that legitimises discrimination on the basis of religion. The people of the country have the right to protest against this law peacefully and express their views.

2: However, rather than respecting, protecting and promoting this right, the Central government in #Delhi and various state governments are clamping down on protestors by using repressive laws.

3: Central and state governments across India must stop the crackdown on peaceful protestors who are protesting against the discriminatory Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA).
