[A very tough question after events is how do we track success?
The answer is below by Amy Kao, Miss Connecticut USA that attended the Turban Day on Saturday.
"Turban Day in Times Square where Sikhs of NY tied 8,000+ Turbans regardless of age, race and gender to promote unity, peace and love. What a beautiful event. My heart is so full of gratitude ??"] As per what Sikhs of NY posted on its facebook page.
The iconic Times Square was soaked in the colours and tradition of the Sikh culture as members of the community tied turbans to thousands of New Yorkers and tourists to spread awareness about the Sikh identity amid a spike in hate crimes against them in the country.
Non-profit group ‘The Sikhs of New York’ organised the “Turban Day” at Times Square here on Saturday, with its volunteers tying colourful turbans to close to 8,000 Americans and tourists hailing from different nationalities and ethnicities.
The four-hour event, held as part of Baisakhi celebrations, was aimed at spreading awareness among Americans and other nationalities about the Sikh religion and its articles of faith, especially the turban, which has often been misconceived and misidentified as being associated with terrorism particularly in the years since the 9/11 terror attacks.
During the event, a proclamation by Congressman Gregory Meeks of the 5th Congressional District of New York declared April 15, 2017, as “Turban Day”, lauding The Sikhs of New York for its dedication in educating other communities about the Sikh faith.
Organisation’s founder Chanpreet Singh said the Turban Day was started in 2013 at Baruch College to promote and educate people about the Sikh religion and identity. “We are spreading awareness about the Sikh turban and culture. The turban is the crown of each Sikh and represents pride and valour. Turban Day provides an opportunity for those that do not wear a turban to experience a turban and learn about its significance first hand,” he said.
Singh added that he had personally experienced hate during his school years and wanted to take the initiative to educate Americans that “Sikh values are American Values”.
The organisation, which has about 600 members, also unveiled a new video featuring Sikh physicians and businesspeople sending a message that while Sikh people have different backgrounds, they are not terrorists. The event also featured cultural performances and prayers.
