| Article | How Sikh Youth Saved the Panth http://www.sikhri.org/download.pdf?id=13082 Presenter: Kulvir Singh Who should attend? Anyone who is frustrated with the current state of affairs in the Sikh Panth and wants to learn about how Sikh youth around the world can play a role in revolutionizing our global community. What is the presentation about? 1849 was one of the most traumatic years in modern Sikh history. Frustrated by the decades of decline that followed the disintegration of the Sikh empire, a group of young Sikhs decided to reinterpret their faith for a new generation and assume leadership of the Panth's religious and political institutions. As we reflect on the 26th anniversary of 1984, explore how a century-old revolution provides valuable lessons on how to approach the challenges facing Sikhs over the next twenty-five years. Who is the presenter? Kulvir Singh lives in Brampton, Ontario and works as a management consultant. He has been involved with various Sikh and mainstream organizations in Toronto, including Toronto Sikh Retreats, Habitat For Humanity (Brampton), and the William Osler Health Centre Foundation. He is currently working with a group of Sikh Youth to launch the Seva Food Bank and the Sikh Arts Council. |
