English. During his training, he being the only Sikh, was loved and respected. In his words “The attitude of
my fellow trainees and officers was very good towards me. Nobody ever forced me to do anything against
my religious beliefs.” He said he had no problems wearing his kara (bangle), or keeping his kirpan (dagger)
on him. He added that, as he was a vegetarian, green meals were arranged for him in the mess during the
training period.” When he was appointed as the Traffic police warden, he became the first ever Sikh to be
