The only three Sikh Americans in the US Army called on the United States to change its policy and allow more Indian Americans to join without violating their religious beliefs, reports Zee News.
Major Kamaljeet Singh Kalsi, Captain Tejdeep Singh Rattan and Corporal Simran Preet Singh Lamba have each won commendations for their service in Afghanistan.
“We are all in this together. Diversity is a strategic imperative. If we want to make this a stronger and beautiful country we have to commit to diversity and we need a military that looks like the people it protects,” Kalsi said.
“Sikhs are part of the country, they are Americans as everybody else here. We need support of everyone from the community and other Indians to change the overall policy,” Lamba said.
