Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, Taranjit Singh Sandhu, on Tuesday paid homage at the historic Gurudwara Rakabganj Sahib in the national capital on the occasion of the Prakash Purab of the ninth Sikh Guru, Guru Tegh Bahadur ji.

While I appreciate the sentiment, I hope such visits are about genuine respect and not just political optics, especially with the RSS pracharak meeting him earlier. Actions matter more than symbolic visits.

Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji is truly 'Hind Di Chadar'. His sacrifice to protect the right of Kashmiri Pandits to practice their faith is a powerful chapter in our history that every Indian should know.

Langar is the greatest example of equality and service. No matter your background, you sit together and eat the same food. More of our institutions should follow this principle.
