It is a fact that the Sikh Dharam Parchar in the foreign countries is going on in a better and largest
scale then in Punjab. There are many organizations in those countries which are working day and night
for strengthening the culture and spiritual image of Sikhs in those countries. The Sikh heritage museum
of Canada, situating as Brampton is one such organization which is aimed at advancing and promoting
knowledge, understanding and preservation of the cultural and religious life of Sikh people. It celebrates the
Canadian Sikh experience and its vibrant history, explores the richness and complexity of Sikh spirituality
and identity, and commemorates Sikh history. The Museum is committed to building a strong and diverse
community that promotes harmony, friendship and understanding. The persons associated with this
museum are highly dedicated, learning and fully conscious of their duty towards their community. S. Kulbir
Singh Dhillon, who has been the Chairman of this museum is an avid reader of Sikh history and particularly
enjoys the legacy of the Lion of Lahore, Maharaja Ranjeet Singh.
He is also very active in charitable and
community based initiatives, and has been appointed as the National Sikh representative on the advisory
committee of Canada’s office for Human Rights, Freedoms an Inclusion. Colin’s latest project is the
documentary film, ‘The Lion that Lost his Roar’, on the first person of Sikh origin to live in Canada – Prince
Victor Albert Jay Duleep Singh and he is the honoured recipient of the Queens Diamond Jubilee Medal for
his distinguished service to Canada and Canadians. He is a role-model propagator of Sikh history. When,
Sikh Heritage month during this year in Brampton Canada, the Sikh heritage museum organized a pavilion
of the court of Maharaja Ranjeet Singh. Kulbir was there explaining to everyone, whatever was relevant and
available in the pavilion to explain the period and achievements of the great Sikh ruler.
