Sikhs march across California urging protections against threats from India on U.S. soil

The Fearless for Justice march was organized by Jakara Movement, a Sikh advocacy group, aiming to pull attention to the growing threats faced by the Sikh community.

Last year, the California Legislature recognized what happened in 1984 as a genocide, and a recent federal resolution introduced in Congress seeks to make the same recognition.

Jakara's executive director, Naindeep Singh, shares that the chosen route along the old 99 freeway was symbolic, reminiscent of the 1966 strike led by Cesar Chavez and farmworkers.

Samirpreet Singh highlights the lasting impact of trauma on younger Sikhs, saying many left India in search of safety and a peaceful life.
