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

  • 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. 

Highlighting the journeys of such individuals not only celebrates their achievements but also provides valuable insights into the challenges they've overcome and the lessons they've learned along the way. It's through these stories that others can find motivation and courage to pursue their own dreams and aspirations.

Darpan My Journey is not only Darpan's project but also very much yours. We want to hear from you. If you have stories to share of outstanding South Asian Canadians please get in touch with us.
