Inspirational Light - the Legacy of Jaswant Singh Khalra

2020 may be the year the world stood still but for both the human rights and Sikh community, a heart-stopping moment occurred 25 years ago this week. The illegal abduction, disappearance (and eventual murder) of human rights activist Bhai Jaswant Singh Khalra took place in Amritsar, India on the 6th September 1995. This week, Bhai Khalra's family, supported by the community across the globe have come together to mark the occasion through a series of events known as #Khalraweek. The BOSS team have also taken this opportunity to reflect on our relationship with the legacy of Khalra.
