Dear reader,
10 years ago, the Sikh American community faced one of the biggest tragedies in its history. Neo-Nazi Wage Michael Page stormed the Oak Creek, Wisconsin gurdwara during Sunday morning prayers, killing six people before taking the gun to himself. Read our exclusive interview with Lt. Brian Murphy, who was shot 15 times by Page, but miraculously survived. Sikh activist Pardeep Kaleka shares the story of his late father Satwant Singh Kaleka, who engaged with Page to keep him from entering the kitchen where women and children were hiding.
After you peruse our diverse content this week — art, dating, film, infidelity, dance, divorce — we ask you to take our one-second survey at the end of this newsletter.
Finally, watch out for our special Independence Day edition on August 15.
Best wishes from the India Currents team.
