The Ameircan Sikh boy gives the Gurmat message of Oneness of Humanity in his first film. He wants to say that we can make a peaceful world by building friendlier neighborhoods. He believes that if we each take a baby step towards a better world, together it will make a big difference. ‘One Light’ became an instrument to share the message of peace and youth activism towards peace at schools, youth conferences, film festivals and interfaith seminars. His another master piece ‘Roots & Wings’ also became an educational tool in many schools of America for creating a dialogue around the question, “What does it mean to an American in today multicultural society”.
