  • WATCH: Darpan My Journey presents, Baltej Dhillon, first turbaned Sikh RCMP officer

Darpan My Journey presents Baltej Singh Dhillon, the first turbaned Sikh RCMP officer, who fought a legal challenge with the RCMP for his right to wear to a turban as a police officer and won the fight. He changed the dress code of the RCMP and it's because of his efforts that many other turbaned Sikh police officers today don't have to compromise their identity.
