Uptaking the pious responsibility of guarding the rich history of the Sikh diaspora, Wanjara Nomad Collections by Raj Singh Bhandall has compiled a bespoke array of antiquities with the purpose of preserving, learning and sharing. The collection features invaluable books, maps, medals, ephemera, albums, swords, and art that traces back to various moments in Sikh history over past centuries. Our team has been privileged to be the holders of invaluable artifacts that span from the early 1600’s to date. Included within our collection is a Sarbloh Simrini from the 1800’s, a 1st edition book signed by Maharaja Duleep Singh, a 1st edition of Military Memoirs of Mr. George Thomas, by William Franklin, and the unpublished war records of the 47th Sikhs. Currently, Bhandall and his team are hosting an online museum, with a future plan to open a physical museum on the West Coast. Bhandall and his team  hope to share the artifacts in their possession, unapologetically from a Sikh perspective. Their vision remains to preserve, learn, and share artifacts relating directly and indirectly to the Sikh civilization. At the same time, they aim to be the catalyst to inspire others to preserve items in their possession.
