National Sikh Campaign

Arjan, who hails from Vancouver has undertaken the project to promote and spread awareness about the Sikh culture. This is solely being done to increase the interest and representation of Indians in sports. 

“Bhullar would sport his turban during his walk to the ring for his fight with Polish fighter Adam Wieczorek in Glendale, Arizona, scheduled to be held on Baisakhi (April 14). NSC founder, Rajwant Singh told TOI. 

As part of the campaign, Arjan visited gurudwaras, to reach out to the community and spread awareness. 

“It’s important for me to wear my turban into the ring. Around the world, people do not know what Sikhs stands for and what our turbans stand for. We believe in equality of gender, caste, race.” says Arjan. 

Arjan firmly believes that it is important for someone to take the lead and fight for the cause they believe in, which is why he is here to do it himself. He is representing where he comes from and what his people are all about. 

“ I want to light a fire and break down barriers for my community and ultimately inspire Indians across the globe,” he said.
