He also told me in June 1999 before he passed away at the age of 89, that you will never find a Sikh begging in the streets of India, you will find Hindus because of the Caste system, and you will find Muslims as well, but never a Sikh. I went to India in 2017 to attend a friend’s wedding, whose an Indian immigrant in my country the UAE, and I noticed that the Sikh neighborhoods were clean, safe, and people mined their own business, and not one single beggar.

@Arminius Don't think it's the Muslims fault, you can't say that while western forces occupy and promote instability in the middle east. The near million killed by American intervention is significantly worse than 9/11, yet you regard THEM as terrorists... Blame your Zionist-adhering leaders and lobbyists who opt for endless wars against Israel's enemies. Zionists were behind Libya, Iraq, Syria, and Iran. This 'harmless country that just wants their ethnic state' has the strongest intelligence agencies, and its 'Defense Force' silently fires missiles into Syria without provocation. That's not discussed by the mainstream media, but it happens weekly. Ironic right? Also, this 'hostility' isn't limited towards only Muslims, many racial minorities are mistrusted in the west. For instance, mexicans and blacks are constantly targeted in America, did they also collectively earn their reputation? Westerners dislike Muslims for their beliefs and 'terrorism', but nary a word is spoken about NATO's atrocities and transgressions. As for western civilization and values, you don't have the high ground to judge others. I don't think your justification for racism and hate is fair, nor is 'give it time' a solution.

Exactly how is this a beautiful story? How is this 'kind of' terrible? This man loses his pitch in his job, can't even ride the bus without being stared down like he's less than, he get's bullied and humiliated in front of his wife and child, and in the end he has to give up his identity so he can be safe, fit in, be somewhat accepted. There's nothing beautiful about any of this, and it isn't kind of terrible, IT IS TERRIBLE! Put yourselves in his shoes and for a minute just imagine how his life is on a daily. The tragic thing is, he'll still be bullied because of the color of his skin and his features.

I have frequented the same gas station for 7 years. The owner was always nice and welcoming. I saw the bracelet so figured he was Sikh. But never questioned his clean cut and shaven face. Then one day he decided to let his beard grow back and wear his turban again. So I asked him about it. And he said yeah after years of not doing what he should he felt it was time to go back. I was so happy for him and proud of him. So many deny who they are just to fit in. It is sad. You have to keep your culture.

I appreciate you making a movie in regards to this scenario, with all due respect, I feel very hurt. Myself being someone who has endured hate crimes in the past, I don’t think any Sikh would or should make such a move by mutilating their hair. Our ancestors have died by the sword, sometimes beheaded, bones crushed, The worst of worst circumstances. Attacks slander by illiterate people should not be enough to make you want to remove your hair. We were never made to fit in; if society doesn’t want to accept you or doesn’t feel that you fit in, you don’t need society, they can go bugger off, because they’re lost souls themselves!! Have strength and remember the Almighty and you will always be protected, in life, and after life.
