Ludhiana-born Anshdeep Singh Bhatia has become the first Sikh to have been inducted into the security detail of US President Donald Trump.
Anshdeep was inducted last week after he completed his grueling training in the United States.
His family moved to Ludhiana from Kanpur during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. He lost his uncle and a close relative after the frenzied mob stormed their house in Kanpurs KDA Colony in Barra. His aunts marriage was scheduled in second of week of November and the family was busy making arrangement.
Anshdeeps father Devendra Singh was also injured in the attack and had received three bullet wounds. His grandfather Amreek Singh Bhatia, manager with Punjab and Sind Bank, opted for a transfer to Ludhiana. His father, who was into the pharmaceutical business in Kanpur, married in Ludhiana and moved to the United States with his family in 2000. Anshdeep was 10 at that time.
Anshdeep, who dreamt of making to the Presidents security one day stumbled upon a block when he was told he would have to change his looks. But Anshdeep moved the court against the riders and the decision came out in his favor.
Now if we can just educate all Americans that SIKHS ARE NOT MUSLIMS.
If I had to have bodyguards, Sikhs would sure as heck be at the top of the list.
If anything should happen, Sikhs tend to be VERY good fighters.
You might want to read up on the death of Indira Ghandi before you make that list.
As a rule, I don’t freak if they’re Sikh ;), I’ve known some of them when I made deliveries all over the NYC area. Give them a fair shake and they’re the nicest people to do business with.
Indira Gandhi probably regrets having them on her security detail.
I’m fairly sure I’m not unpopular amongst Sikhs, unlike Madame Gandhi.
Totally
Sikhs are better Americans than...uhmmmm...Americans
And they are fervent bad azzez to boot...
They don’t bomb as many Canadian planes as they used to.
In the end, we don't know what stirs between those ears. What's been put there over the years.
What, we can't find a homegrown boy to do that job? Someone we know everything about? Or someone we know infinitely more about than this Sikh fella?
The 1984 anti-Sikh riots, also known as the 1984 Sikh Massacre, was a series of organised pogroms against Sikhs in India by anti-Sikh mobs in response to the assassination of Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards.Sikhs, rock-solid reliable? I think not.
He lost his uncle and a close relative...Because his uncle wasn't a close relative? Okay, now I'm nitpicking. But that's my job when they run something nutty like this by me. Hire an all-American boy!
Anshdeep, who dreamt of making to the Presidents security one day...I know there are a million little boys named Muhammad who are dreaming the same thing.

Sorry, when preparing your resume, and that's what your life story is, everything, every comma, every word, even when being written by someone else, should belong and make sense -- unless you don't care... Just sayin'.
Little Orphan Annie’s protector, Daddy Warbucks, has as his head of security, a Sikh warrier, Punjab.
Donald Trump as Daddy Warbucks? Apparently not many folks yet have made that connection. And Annie, of course, is all of America.
DRIPS with stereotypes and satire.
Anshdeep, who was earlier asked to change his looks to get cleared for the security job, had fought a legal battle to get court nod for the job.
A few Gurkas wouldn’t hurt either.
Then theres the Irish!
Every Sikh I’ve met is a great American
