In a re­mark­ably de­tailed cov­er­age, which is rare for mi­nor­ity com­mu­ni­ties in this coun­try, Hindi lan­guage Navb­harat Times – a Times of In­dia pub­li­ca­tion has ex­ten­sively cov­ered the role, con­tri­bu­tion, tri­als and tribu­la­tions of the Sikhs in Mum­bai.

The ed­i­to­r­ial team of NBT in­vited Sikh politi­cians, re­li­gious lead­ers, so­cial ac­tivists, bankers, aca­d­e­mi­cians and oth­ers to par­tic­i­pate in a round table dis­cus­sion prior to pub­li­ca­tion.

Fo­cus­ing on ser­vice to hu­man­ity as their prime con­tri­bu­tion to so­ci­ety, be it dur­ing peace times through ac­com­mo­da­tion and care of can­cer pa­tients and fam­i­lies, nat­ural calami­ties and dif­fi­cult pe­ri­ods like rains, com­mu­nity lead­ers were hum­ble about their con­tri­bu­tion and  vir­tu­ally with­out com­plaints. They nar­rated how they built their lives brick-by-brick af­ter mi­gra­tion dur­ing the par­ti­tion of the sub-con­ti­nent in 1947.
